Energy is the ability to do work,

that is, to move or change
something.
Forms of energy are the ways
energy is used.
Sources of energy are things we
get energy from. 2

Energy is the ability to do work.

• We need energy for everything we do.

• Energy is used all around us.

• Can make things move or change and can be transferred to one

form to another and from one object to another.

There are many different forms of energy

like heat energy, light energy, and sound
energy.

How
• Sound passes through the medium as
longitudinal waves.
• When the vibrations are fast you hear
a
high pitch. When they’re slow, you
hear a low pitch.

High Pitch Low Pitch

 How does the ear work?
 Sound waves are sent.
 The outer ear “catches the sound waves”.
 The middle ear takes the sound waves and “vibrates”
the eardrum.
 The inner ear sends the messages to the brain.

 The brain puts it together you can understand the
sounds.

There are many different ways to get

energy. These are called sources of
energy.

The day is warm and bright.

It is the Sun which gives us
light and heat energy.

13
So, Sun is a source of light and heat energy on Earth.

from the food they eat.

We listen t

car.

It runs
on electrical
energy from the
car's battery.

 We can fly
kites high

When kids slide down a plane

or roll down a hill, some of the
energy comes from gravity,
called the gravitational
energy.

What happens to energy after you use

it? Do you use it all up, and it
disappears?
Energy is neither created nor
destroyed. It just changes from one
form to another.
21
 When we play a music
system, the electrical
energy is converted
into sound energy.

When we switch on a
room heater, the
electrical energy is
converted into heat

energy.
S um m a ry • Energy is used all around us every day.
• Energy is used by people to move, talk, and play.
• Energy is used by cars, radios, toys, fires, and musical
instruments.
• There are many ways to use energy.
• Energy comes from the Sun. It also comes from the food we
eat.
• It comes from gas, and from electricity.
• It comes from wind and fire.
• It comes from gravity too.
• Energy is neither created nor destroyed. It just changes from
one form to another.
