- 1Energy Around You!
- 2What is energy?Power derived from the utilisation of physical or chemical resources, especially to provide light and heat or to work machines.
- 3What is energy needed for?Energy is needed to move or heat something, to make noise or light, or to change an object's shape. Energy makes things happen.
- 4What are the forms of energy?
- 5What is kinetic energy?Kinetic energy is the energy of movement, anything that moves has kinetic energy. The faster something moves, the more kinetic energy it has.
- 6What is heat energy?Heat energy can come from the sun, flames, chemical reactions, electrical devices or even a person or animal. Heat warms, burns, dries and melts.
- 7What is light energy?Light energy comes from the sun, light globes and animals such as glow worms
- 8What is sound energy?Sound energy is the energy air has when it is vibrating. Your ears and brain interpret this as sound.
- 9What is electrical energy?Electrical energy is produced by power stations, solar cells, batteries and and lightning. It powers your TV, toaster and microwave.

- 11What best describes energy stored within a substance?Chemical energy
- 12What is photosynthesis?The process in which green plants convert light energy into chemical energy.
- 13What is gravitational potential energy?When energy is stored in an object above ground, the greater the height the more gravitational potential energy
- 14What is chemical energy?Energy stored in substances such as energy that is released when you digest food
- 15What is elastic potential energy?Energy stored in stretched or squished springs
- 16What is nuclear energy?Energy stored inside the tiny atoms that make up all matter
- 17How can heat be transferred?-conduction
