A lever is a device that rests on
a fulcrum. It is used to lift or
move loads. Construction

Wedge
A wedge is a tool that narrows
to a thin edge. An ax is an
example of a wedge.

a flat surface and elevated at
one end. An example of an
inclined plane is a ramp.
 SOLID
Solids have a definite
shape. Particles are closely packed and are usually
arranged in a regular pattern.

GAS
Gases spread out and have very big spaces
between them. The particles in a gas move quickly
in different directions.

LIQUID
Liquids flow and take the shape of the container.
The particles of liquids are
close together but are
loosely arranged.

CHEMICAL
Energy is stored in the bonds
between atoms of compounds.
Batteries store chemical energy that
turns into electrical energy.
FORMS OF ENERGY
When we move, we use up energy. Let's take a look at some forms of energy in action.
NUCLEAR
This energy is stored in the nuclei
of atoms. When the nuclei are split,
energy is released. Nuclear power
plants process and distribute
nuclear energy.
ELECTRICAL
This energy uses moving
electrons to create electric
currents. Electric currents power
gadgets and appliances.
SOUND
When you blow a whistle, the
air particles in it move faster.
The ball inside vibrates, which
makes the whistle produce
these materials to release energy or turn
sound waves.
MECHANICAL
This is the energy used by an
object through motion or its
position. Rollercoasters use
mechanical energy to move.
BIOMASS
Biomass is made from organic materials
like wood, plants, or waste. We can burn
them into a gas called biogas. It's like
using the power of nature's leftovers!
WIND
The wind blows all around us, and we can use
wind turbines to capture the wind's energy and
convert it into electricity. It's like a big fan
that creates electricity when it spins.
THERMAL
This energy is produced due to the
movement of particles within the
object. The transfer of thermal
energy is known as heat, which
happens when we cook food.

FORMS OF ENERGY
Water can also create energy.
We use dams to collect water in
one place, and when the water
flows through special machines
called turbines, it turns into
electricity. It's like using the
power of flowing water!
