Energy surrounds us.  It is everywhere and abundant, yet it has no mass and can't be touched.  However, you can see and feel the effects energy has on many materials.  Energy can produce motion, heat, or light.
 
Energy cannot be created or destroyed.  However, it can be changed from one form into another.  Changing energy back and forth from one form or state to another is how we control it for our use.
What is Energy? Two basic concepts are important in understanding the sources of energy: 1. Energy is the ability or capacity to do work. 2. Energy cannot be created or destroyed.
