Kinetic energy
Kinetic energy is the energy in moving objects, every moving object has kinetic energy. It is also called movement energy.
Gravitational Potential energy
Gravitational Potential energy (GPE) is stored energy in raised objects or materials. The object falls or flow down to release the GPE.
An example of gravitational potential energy is the water stored behind a dam that can flow through a turbine generator.

Elastic Potential energy
Elastic potential energy is stored energy when a material is stretched or squashed and the energy that is released when this constriction is released.
Examples of elastic potential energy include a pulled elastic rubber band, the compressed spring of a mouse trap, the stretched bow before an arrow is released or the winding up of a spring of a clockwork clock.

Thermal energy
Thermal energy is also called heat energy.
Light energy
Light energy is also called radiant energy.
Electrical energy
Electrical energy is energy in moving or static electric charges.
An example is lightning.
An example is lightning.
Sound energy
Sound energy is the energy released by vibrating objects
Chemical energy
Chemical energy is stored energy in fuel, foods and batteries. Chemical energy is a form of stored energy so it does nothing until it is released and converted into another form of energy.
Nuclear energy
Nuclear energy is energy stored in the nuclei of atoms.
An example is the assembly of
