2. What is Energy? Before we get into chemical Energy lets discuss, what is energy? Energy makes change possible. We use it to do things for us. It moves cars along the road and boats over the water. It bakes a cake in the oven and keeps ice frozen in the freezer. It plays our favorite songs on the radio and lights our homes. Energy is needed for our bodies to grow and it allows our minds to think. Energy forms are either potential or kinetic. Potential energy comes in forms that are stored including chemical, gravitational, mechanical, and nuclear. Kinetic energy forms are doing work like electrical, heat, light, motion, and sound. This was from Energy Kids!

4. What is Chemical Energy? Chemical Energy is energy stored in atoms and molecules. Biomass, petroleum, natural gas, and coal are examples of stored chemical energy. Chemical energy is transferred to thermal energy when we burn wood in a fireplace or burn gasoline in a car's engine. Chemical energy comes in many forms. On the next slide you will be able to view a few.

5. Real World Sources of Chemical Energy There are many sources of Chemical Energy, here are a few. • Batteries • Fireworks • Generators • Chargers • Burning Wood • Burning Gasoline
