What is Energy?

Energy is what makes things happen. It helps us move, keeps us warm, and makes our lights shine!

Different Forms of Energy

• Light energy: From the sun or a lamp.
• Heat energy: From fire, the sun, or even your body.
• Sound energy: From music or someone talking.
• Motion energy: When something moves, like a rolling ball.

Where Does Energy Come From?

• The Sun: Our biggest source of energy! It gives us light and heat.
• Food: Gives our bodies energy to grow, think, and play.
• Electricity: Powers our homes, schools, and devices.

Hands-On Energy

• Jump up and down to feel how your body uses energy from food.
