Today at Technology my teacher Mr Malhotra questioned my classmates and I what we knew about the different types of energy. He then asked us what the definition was to test if we truly understood how the energy was produced or made. The examples above are the different types of objects that we tested to find what variety of energy was used to make them function/work.
