Lesson Content

What is Energy?

Energy is the ability to do work or cause a change. It’s a fundamental concept in science,essential for everything we do. For example, riding a bike uses energy to move the pedals, and turning on a light uses energy to make it glow. Energy is all around us.

2. Research and write down three different sources of energy.
3. Draw a picture showing how energy is used in your community.

Differentiation

• For slower learners: Provide one-on-one assistance and simplified explanations.
• For advanced learners: Encourage them to research additional examples of energy use.
• For visual/auditory/kinesthetic learners: Use visual aids, discussions, and hands-on activities to cater to different learning styles.

Note for Teachers

Ensure to use real-life examples and demonstrations to make the concept of energy more relatable and understandable for the pupils. Encourage class participation and provide constructive feedback.
