Lesson Content

Sources of Energy

Energy is the ability to do work. It’s all around us and makes things happen. Many different sources of energy power our homes, schools, and toys.

What is Energy?

Energy is the ability to do work or cause change. It comes in different forms:

These include:

1. Kinetic energy: Energy of motion (like a moving car).
2. Potential energy: Stored energy (like a stretched rubber band).
3. Thermal energy: Heat energy (like the sun’s warmth).
4. Chemical energy: Energy stored in molecules (like food).
5. Electrical energy: Energy from electric charges (like electricity).
6. Sound energy: Energy from vibrations that we hear (like music).
7. Light energy: Energy that we can see (like sunlight).

Sources of Energy

Energy sources are either renewable or non-renewable:

Renewable Energy Sources

Renewable energy sources are those that can be replenished naturally over time.

The following are examples of renewable energy sources:

1. Solar energy: From the sun (using solar panels).
2. Wind energy: From the wind (using wind turbines).
3. Hydroelectric energy: From flowing water (using dams).
4. geothermal energy: From the Earth’s heat.
5. Biomass energy: From organic matter (like wood).
6. Tidal energy: From the movement of tides.
7. Wave energy: From ocean waves.

Non-Renewable Energy Sources

Non-renewable energy sources are finite and cannot be easily replaced once used.

Examples are:

1. Fossil fuels: Coal, oil, and natural gas.
2. Nuclear energy: From splitting atoms.
