Initialisms and Acronyms
An Initialism is when the first letter of words are used to identify them. Like JK= Just Kidding.
An acronym is when the first letter of words are used to identify them. Together they are said as a word. Like GOAT=Greatest of All Time. The next few slides will show you Initialisms and Acronyms to help you remember energy forms.

What's an EASY way for me to Remember 5 forms of energy?
The first letter of five forms of energy makeup the acronym M.E.L.T.S.
If you remember M.E.L.T.S, then you can give yourself a reminder of at least five types of energy. (look at the image on this page).
6
What about a way to remember Nuclear and Chemical?
N is for nuclear. C is for chemical. Sometimes in texting you say N instead of "and." Sometimes you say C instead of "see." So put all of these together for M.E.L.T.S. N C or you can try NC M..E.L.T.S.
Now you have an easy way to remember 7 kinds of energy.
7
Now add Potential and Kinetic Energy
Let's take the Po from Potential and the Kin from Kinetic. Put them together to remember
PoKin=Potential Energy and Kinetic Energy.

You will be asked to name all the forms of energy that you can remember. Practice
NC M.E.L.T.S POKIN
(Nuclear, Chemical, Mechanical, Electrical, Light, Thermal, Sound, Potential, and Kinetic)
