"We have found so far that energy comes in a number of different forms and that we can make a list of 10 types of energy to help us identify and talk about energy. Not only does energy come in different types, but it is constantly changing from one type into another. As we will see, this changing from one type of energy to another is the basis for most of our household appliances, the design of our power plants, and how our body keeps itself going."
