Lesson Content

What is Energy?

Energy is the ability to do work or cause change. Its what makes things happen and allows us to perform various activities. It is indeed indeed essential for everything we do.

Forms of Energy

There are many types of energy. Here are some examples:

1. Light Energy: This is the energy we see as light. It comes from the sun, light bulbs, and other sources.
2. Heat Energy: This is the energy we feel as heat. It comes from the sun, fires, and other sources.
3. Sound Energy: This is the energy we hear as sound. It comes from vibrations in the air.
4. Electrical Energy: This is the energy we use to power our homes and appliances. It comes from power plants.
5. Chemical Energy: This is energy stored in molecules. It’s released when the bonds break. Such as, the food we eat has chemical energy.
6. Mechanical Energy: this is the energy of motion.A moving car has mechanical energy.
7. Nuclear Energy: This is the energy stored within the nucleus of an atom. it is indeed released during nuclear reactions.
8. Radiant Energy: This is energy that travels in electromagnetic waves. Examples include radio waves, microwaves, and X-rays.
