1. At the end of this unit, we will learn :
•Example of where, when and why energy is used.
•Various sources and forms of energy.
•The examples of appliances that make use of energy
transformation.
•About ways of saving energy.
•About ways of saving energy.
•The reasons for the need to use energy wisely.

2. LESSON 1 : WONDER OF ENERGY
Living things carry out life processes. Energy is needed to carry out
these processes.
•Living things need energy to breathe.

3. •Food produces energy for living things to grow
•Living things need energy to move and do all kinds of work.

4. •Energy is also needed by non-living things. The energy is used to make
them usable. The energy is used to move them.
•The energy is used to change their state.

5. VARIOUS SOURCES OF ENERGY
•The sun gives us heat and light energy. Plants use sunlight to make food.
Humans and animals get energy from the food they eat. Their sources of
food include plants and other animals. The sun’s heat dried the laundry.
•Wind can be used to do work. A sail boat uses the wind energy to cruise.

6. •Fuel such as coal, petroleum and natural gas are sources of energy too.
These fuels are formed from dead plants and animals that lived millions of
years ago.
•Dry cells can store energy for a long time.

7. LESSON 2 : ENERGY IN ACTION
•Energy is found in different forms.
•The batteries in a toy car produce electrical energy to move it. Objects that
move have kinetic energy.

8. •A burning candle gives off light energy and heat energy.
•A stretched rubber band in a catapult has potential energy.

9. •A ringing telephone produce sound energy.

10. CHEMICAL HEAT

• Energy also can transformed from one another. A burning candle
transforms chemical energy into light energy and heat energy.

•Solar powered signal light uses sunlight as the sources of energy is
transformed into electrical energy into light energy.

11. LESSON 3 : RENEWABLE OR NON- RENEWABLE
•The energy we use every day comes from various resources. These resources
are divided into renewable energy and non - renewable energy.
•Renewable energy can be replenished when used up.
SOLAR
WIND
BIOMASS
WATER

12. •Non-renewable energy cannot be replenished when used up.
NATURAL GAS
NUCLEAR REACTOR
COAL
CHARCOAL
PETROLEUM

13. WHAT CAN WE DO TO SAVE
ENERGY?
•Switch the lights and fan off when there is nobody in the
room.

14. •Switch the computer or television off when you are not
using them.

15. •Car pool or use public transport.
•Develop new fuels for transport.
