Understanding Energy Types Around You

You're using six types of energy right now and don't even realize it. Just remember MELTS:

Mechanical, Electrical, Light, Thermal, and Sound.

Plus Chemical, like the battery in your phone. All energy is either stored,

which is potential, or moving, which is kinetic. Light can pass through, bounce off,

get absorbed, or bend. Heat moves by touch, through air, or in waves.

And electricity? It needs a closed loop, a complete circuit, to work.

If there's a break, it's an open circuit, and the power's out. It's all just energy

changing forms around you 24/7.
