Activity Overview
With so many different types of energy, it can be hard for students to grasp them all. Using a spider map, students will identify and provide an example of each different type of energy. This will help them differentiate between each form, and serve as both in introductory activity and a reference for the rest of the unit.
Types of Energy

- Sound Energy
- Thermal Energy
- Chemical Energy
- Electrical Energy
- Gravitational Energy
- Light Energy
