Energy Word Search

Twenty-five energy words make up this list: kinetic, thermal, gravitational, hydroelectric, bioenergy, elastic and nuclear. Free to print as a PDF, or play it online.

Work is on this list and it does not mean what it means anywhere else. In physics, work is force multiplied by the distance something moves, so holding a heavy box perfectly still is zero work no matter how much your arms disagree. Energy is the capacity to do that work, which is why the two words keep appearing together.

The forms convert but never vanish. A book on a shelf holds gravitational energy that becomes kinetic on the way down and thermal when it lands, and the total is the same at every step. Nearly everything else here is that same accounting under a different name: solar, wind and hydroelectric are all sunlight a few steps removed, and fossil fuel is sunlight from three hundred million years ago.

Free for a physics lesson on paper; online, a new set of terms each time.
