1 FORMS OF ENERGY AND

ENERGY CHANGES

WHAT IS

Energy is
ability to do
work.

WHY DO WE NEED ENERGY ?

Energy

makes things move and work.

We need energy to walk to school,
we need energy to play, to run a
computer or to cook our food.

SOURCES OF ENERGY
The

sun is an important source of

energy.
Plants use the sun to make food
Human and animals get their energy
from the food they eat.
Non- living things like machines get
their energy from fuels.

INSTRUCTION:
1.Name all this types of energy and fill the answer in the
crosswords.
2.Based on all object on the table, fill in the blank.
1.
We get this energy from the bent of ruler or stretching of
spring.
2.
We use this energy to switch on the television.
3.
This kind of energy very importance especially in the dark
place.
4.
Burning of candle release one of this energy.
5.
Alia listening to the radio
6.
Energy that obtain from the food.
7.
Example of this energy is uranium and plutonium.
8.
Obtain when ball is rolling.

Heat energy come from hot object.

The heat energy can be detected by our
hand.

Light energy is a form of energy that gives

off light.
The light energy enables us to see things.

is a form of energy that we can

hear.

Sound energy is produced by vibrating objects, which

produce waves that can be detected by ears as
sound.
Sound energy can be transfer from one place to
another place.
Sound energy travels the fastest in solid and
slowest in gas or air.

Electrical energy is electric charges, which travel

through electrical conductors or wire.
Example of electrical power

is energy that is stored in an object

and can be used another time.
Food,
Fuels
Batteries
Green
Plant

is present in object that are

moving.

The kinetic energy of an object increase

when it move faster.
Stationary object have zero kinetic energy.

Energy store in an
object depends on
a)its
Mass
- The bigger its
mass, the
greater its
Potential
b) Height or
energy.
position of an
object above
ground.
-Thethe
higher
its
position from
ground, the
greater its
Potential energy

Energy store in an
object that are
compressed,
stretched or bent.

Nuclear energy is used to generate electricity.

Obtained from elements such as plutonium
and uranium.

Title: producing fire using a magnifying glass.

Aim: to show that the sun is a sources of
energy magnifying glass, black paper.
Materials:
Observation: The paper will _____________
Question:
1. State two types of energy release by the sun
2. Write the energy change that occured in this activity
3. Give one example of materials that can be used to
replace the paper in this activity.
4. What are the function of the magnifying glass in this
activity?
5. What materials may focus sunlight and subsequently
set fire to dry leaves in the forest.
Conclusion: _______ energy from the sun can be
focussed to burn substance like paper
