1. Heat Energy

2. Electrical Energy

3. Light Energy

4. Solar Energy

5. Kinetic Energy

 

HEAT ENERGY

Heat energy is the energy that makes an object warm or hot. For examples – heat from the sun, fire, pressing iron, etc. or from objects that produce heat.

 

ELECTRICAL ENERGY

Electrical energy is the energy that powers our electrical appliances. This kind of energy makes the television, radio, fan, electrical cooker, etc. work.

 

 

LESSON 2 – LIGHT ENERGY, SOLAR ENERGY AND KINETIC ENERGY

LIGHT ENERGY

Light energy is the energy that helps us to see things clearly. For examples – light from the sun, bulb, torchlight, television, candle, flash light, fire, Electric bulb, kerosene lamp, stars, etc.

 

SOLAR ENERGY

Solar energy is the energy from the sun. Energy from the sun heat, cool, and light homes and businesses. It can also power some of our home appliances.

 

KINETIC ENERGY

Kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses because of its motion. For examples – walking, falling, flying, and throwing.
