Note to Pupils:

Forms Of Energy

  1. Light Energy: This is the energy produced by light sources, such as the sun, bulbs, and flashlights.
  2. Heat Energy: It is the energy produced by hot objects. Examples include the warmth from the sun, a stove, or a heated cup.
  3. Sound Energy: This energy is produced by vibrations that create sound waves. Examples include music, voices, and the sound of a bell.
  4. Mechanical Energy: It is the energy of moving objects. Examples include a swinging pendulum, a moving car, or a rolling ball.
  5. Electrical Energy: This is the energy associated with the flow of electric current. Examples include electricity from outlets and batteries.
  6. Chemical Energy: This energy is stored in the bonds between atoms and molecules. Examples include the energy released during the burning of wood or the digestion of food.
  7. Elastic Energy: This energy is stored in objects when they are stretched or compressed. Examples include a stretched rubber band or a compressed spring.

Evaluation:

  1. What are four forms of energy we discussed today?
  2. Give an example of each form of energy.
  3. Why is it important to know about different forms of energy?
