Note to Pupils:
Sources Of Energy
- Sunlight: The sun provides heat and light energy.
- Wind: Wind can be harnessed to generate wind energy.
- Battery: Batteries store and release electrical energy.
- Firewood: Burning firewood releases heat energy.
- Water: Flowing water, such as in rivers, can be used for hydroelectric power.
- Food: Consuming food provides the body with energy for daily activities.
- Muscles: Physical activities, like running and jumping, use energy stored in our muscles.
Evaluation:
- Name two sources of energy we discussed in class.
- What is the importance of understanding different sources of energy?
