Note:
THINGS THAT USE ENERGY
Energy is what makes things move and work. We use energy to do activities like running, jumping, walking and writing. Objects like bicycles, blenders, motor cars, and torchlights also use energy.
Evaluation:
- Mention three activities that require energy.
- Identify two objects that use energy.
Teaching Aids:
- Pictures of energy-using activities
- Pictures of objects using energy
- Flashcards with images
- Notebooks and pens
