Classroom Note:
Chemical Energy
Chemical energy is the energy stored in the tiny particles that make up things, like atoms and molecules. It’s like a special kind of energy that s released when certain substances react with eFor example, when you burn wood or use batteries, you’re using the chemical energy stored in them to produce heat or power devices.
Evaluation:
- What is chemical energy?
- Give an example of an item that uses chemical energy.
- How does chemical energy play a role in our daily lives?
