Explain the forms of energy present in a system (i.e., thermal energy, sound energy, light energy, electrical energy, kinetic energy, potential energy, chemical energy, and nuclear energy).

Compare the potential and/or kinetic energy of parts of systems at various locations or times (i.e., kinetic energy is an object's energy of motion; potential energy is an objects energy of position).

Measure and describe the thermal energy of a system, subsystem, and/or parts of a system in terms of molecular motion (temperature) and energy from a phase change (e.g., observe, measure, and record temperature changes over time while heating ice to boiling water).
