All About Energy for Middle School Science

Did you wander to this page from the Matter Page? If you didn't, you will definitely want to check it out. Matter and energy are tightly linked.

Energy is a big topic, and its definition (the ability to do work) is too vague to be helpful in my opinion. I find it easier to understand energy through examples and details. You can get an overview of energy by looking at the presentation below. As always, if you would like to purchase a copy of the presentation, you can do so at Teachers Pay Teachers. You will also want to scroll past this presentation because I have links to pages on different types of energy.

As promised, here are the links to different types of energy.
