Energy is the ability to do work. It

helps us grow, move and do
activities. It also powers our
machines and vehicles and lights up
our cities.
 Major Forms of Energy
There are two major forms of energy: Potential
Energy and Kinetic Energy. Potential Energy is
stored energy that is motionless. Kinetic Energy
is energy in motion.
Types of Energy:
 Energy Changes
Sometimes, energy changes from one form to another in particular
situations, here are 5 examples:
1. Electric flat iron: Electrical energy -> Heat energy
2. Photosynthesis: Light Energy -> Chemical energy
3. Roller coaster: GPE -> Kinetic energy
4. Switching on television: Electrical energy -> Sound + Heat + Light
Energy
5. Running a car: Chemical Energy -> Kinetic + Light + Heat Energy
 Law of Conservation of Energy
The Law of Conservation of Energy states that
Energy cannot be created nor destroyed.
Sources of Energy from thousands of years ago
Sources of Energy at present
Source of Energy How long it will last

Coal 210 Years

Oil 42 Years

Gas 60 Years
Ways to save energy
 Renewable Energy Sources
Renewable Energy sources are sources of energy that
can be replaced in a short amount of time.
Non – Renewable Energy Source
Non – Renewable energy sources are sources of energy
that are limited and requires a longer time to replace.
 Energy
In conclusion, energy is very important in
our lives. It helps us grow and move and it
powers our cities and machines. It makes
our lives more comfortable and makes
activities easier.
