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:
- Name two sources of chemical energy.
- List three uses of chemical energy.
Note to Teachers:
