• Chemical energy - energy stored in fuels (including food)
• Kinetic energy - energy stored in moving objects
• Gravitational Potential Energy (GPE) - energy stored in places with the potential to fall or move downwards due to gravity.
• Elastic potential energy - the energy stored in a springy object when we stretch or squash it.
• Electrical energy - energy transferred by an electrical current.

When an object falls…
