Kinetic Energy
Moving things have kinetic energy. The heavier a thing is and the faster it moves the more kinetic energy it has. All Moving things have kinetic energy, even very large things like planets, and very small things, like atoms.

Sound Energy
A vibrating drum and a plucked guitar string transfer energy to the air as sound. Kinetic energy from moving air molecules transfers the sound energy to your eardrum.

Thermal Energy
Thermal Energy is what we call energy that comes from heat. A cup of hot tea has thermal energy in the form of kinetic energy from its particles. Some of this energy is transferred to the particles in cold milk, which you pour in to make the tea cold

Chemical Energy
Some chemical reactions release energy. For example, when an explosive goes off, chemical energy stored in it transferred to the surroundings as thermal nervy, sound energy and kinetic energy.

Electric Energy
A battery transfers stored chemical energy as electric energy in moving charges in wires. For example, electric energy is transferred to the surroundings by lamp as light energy and thermal energy.

Gravitational Potential Energy
A rock on a mountain has stored energy because of its position above the ground and the pull of gravity. This is the energy that would release if it fell. When it falls the gravitational potential energy is transferred as kinetic energy.
