Classroom Note:

Chemical Energy:

Chemical energy is the energy stored in the tiny particles that make up things around us. When these particles join together or break apart, they release energy, making things happen – like making a car move or allowing our bodies to work. It’s like a hidden power inside everything!

Sources Of Chemical Energy:

  • Batteries
  • Fuel
  • Food
  • Rocks
  • Water
  • Wood
  • Uses of Chemical Energy:
  • Powering devices
  • Cooking
  • Transportation
  • Industrial processes

Evaluation:

  1. Name two sources of chemical energy.
  2. List three uses of chemical energy.
