In our project we used mechanical, potential, and kinetic energy. The potential was the dominoes and train sitting still before they moved. The mechanical was the hungry hippo moving its head forward when we pressed the button on its back. Finally the kinetic energy was when all of the parts moving like the dominoes knocking over and the ball falling and the train going down the track.

In our project we understood that in the potiential energy, stored mechanicals, nucleur and chemicals are all resources that are stored. Basically __potential energy__ is the energy that exists within an object. The __nucleur energy__ is produced in different ways. One way that it is produced is when there is energy releasing from a large nuclei that then splits. Another way is when a small nuclei combines to release energy. The process when splitting is called fission.

The __kinectic energy__ is the energy of an object. The energy possesses due to its motion which is when us humans walk or run. Some energy types of kinectic energy are: electricity, light or radiation energy and thermal energy. The thermal energy is responsible for a systems temperature and __thermal energy__ is the portion of internal energy. For example heat is thermal energy that transfer across a boundary.

Mechanical energy and kinectic energy are very similar. But __mechanical energy__ is the energy that is associated with the motion or of an object due to its position. Also the mechanical energy is conserved.

__Chemical energy__ is a form of potential energy that is possessed by food, fuels and batteries. The __electrical ener__gy is the energy that is available by the flow of electrical charge.

__Electromagnetic energy__ is a phenomenon that takes and then forms self-propagating waves in a vaccum or in matter. Also we learned that some energy sources such as solar, wind, hydroelectric, biomass, and geothermal power are all renewable sources.
