Directions: Give five (5) examples of materials or objects that produce
sounds. Your examples should begin with each letter of the word
“sound.”
Different Forms of Energy

SOUND ENERGY
Sound Energy is produced in different ways. The simple way is when objects hit each
other. Clap your hands. Drop a book on the table. Marbles and billiard balls produce
clicks as they collide. Musical instruments called percussions also produce sound this
way. Sound produced this way comes from the lost kinetic energy when moving
bodies collide. Another way to make sounds is by making vibrations. When you speak,
sing or hum, your vocal cord vibrates. Wind instruments make their sound by
sustaining the vibration of columns of air in the tubes. Stringed instruments make
sound when their strings vibrate. In speakers, a part called the diaphragm vibrates to
produce sound.
• LIGHT ENERGY
Light energy from the sun reaches you in the form of light or radiant energy
that travels by electromagnetic (EM) waves.
The sun’s energy travels as visible light, the only EM wave that can be seen
by the naked eye. The sun also gives off other types of EM waves such as
ultraviolet rays and infrared rays. Light energy cannot move objects on its
own. But it can be converted onto another form of energy, like electrical
energy, to make objects move and function. A solar vane, for example,
absorbs light using a fanlike assembly in its glass bulb and converts it to
kinetic energy. This is also true for solar-powered cars. The solar panels
convert light energy into electricity which is then used to make the motor run.
Solar panels are also installed in some homes as an alternative energy
provider.
ELECTRICAL ENERGY

Electrical energy is the result of the interaction of sub-atomic particles with

electromagnetic force. Within an atom, electron and protons create a charge. This charge
can be transferred between bodies using direct contact with a conducive material like a
wire. The current refers to the movement of the charge. Direct current occurs when the
electricity is stored in a battery and travels in one direction out of the battery. Alternating
current occurs when the current changes direction repeatedly within an electrical system.
The alternating current form is usually used to power larger objects such as residences
and buildings. Electrical potential is essential to the range and power of electric energy.
When an electric charge exists within an object, a force is exerted from its electrical field.
This accelerates the object in a direction either towards or away from the charge,
depending on the electromagnetic polarization.
Generally, positively charged electricity pushes the object away, while negatively charged
electricity pulls the object towards the field.
Directions: Write the energy being described as to
sound energy, light energy, or electrical energy. Write
your answer on a separate sheet of paper.
____________ 1. It is produced by vibrating objects.

on its own.

of columns of air in their tubes

electrical energy. Write your answer on a separate sheet of paper.

vibrate.

Forms of Energy
(Sound, Light,
Electrical)
 Try to close your eyes for
about five seconds and just
listen. Can you name the
sounds you hear?
 • Sound energy is the energy produced by vibrating objects. When
objects vibrate, sound waves are produced. Sound waves are able
to carry vibrations through a medium. This results in the transfer of
the energy collected in the vibrations. We hear sound when sound
waves that are travelling through the air or another material reach
our ears.
• Music is used for entertainment and communication. Music is made
up of sounds that are produced when people sing or when musical
instruments are played.
• Unlike light, sound needs a medium like gases, solids, or liquids to
travel through. Solid is a better transmitter of sound than liquid.
Liquid is a better transmitter of sound than gas.
Uses of Sound Energy
1. Sound is used in communication. Devices used to relay meanings through words
require the use of sound. We use communication devices that use sound like the
telephone, TV, radio, and others.
2. Sound is used in geology. Sound is used in geology in locating oil and mineral
reservoirs underground. It also helps seismologists track earthquakes and find out
how earthquakes travel through magma and rocks.
3. Sound energy is used in navigation. Ultrasonic waves are sound waves which are
used to locate sunken ships and schools of fish and to map the ocean floor. They
are also used by submarines in military activities.
4. Sound energy is used in medicines. The use of ultrasound in monitoring
pregnancies and other medical conditions is very common nowadays in hospitals,
lying-in clinics, and laboratories. Through the use of ultrasound, doctors are able to
find out what is happening inside the body. Scanning is also used for locating
gallstones, tumors, and kidney stones

HEAT or THERMAL ENERGY

• Thermal energy (also called heat energy) is produced when a rise in

temperature causes atoms and molecules to move faster and collide with
each other.
• Thermal energy is energy that comes from a substance whose molecules
and atoms are vibrating faster due to a rise in temperature. How is heat or
thermal energy produced?
• The molecules and atoms that make up matter are moving all the time.
When a substance heats up, the rise in temperature makes these particles
move faster and bump into each other.
• Thermal energy is the energy that comes from the heated up substance.
The hotter the substance, the more its particles move, and the higher its
thermal energy.

Let us think about that cup of hot chocolate. The hot
chocolate has thermal energy from its vibrating
particles. When you pour some cold milk into your hot
chocolate, some of this energy is transferred from the
chocolate to the particles in the milk.

So what happens? Your hot chocolate cools down

because it lost some of its thermal energy to the milk.

Light Energy

Light is a form of energy. It travels in waves in the form

of electromagnetic radiation. It radiates in any
direction. It can pass through a clear glass or any
transparent material. Light ray travels out from its
source in a straight line and it is the only form of
energy visible to the human eye.
What are the Sources of Light?
• Light is a form of energy that helps us to see all the things around us. Light
can come from different sources. Let us look at some of these sources
now.
• The natural sources of light include the sun, stars, fire, and electricity in
storms.
• There are even some animals and plants that can create their own light,
such as fireflies, jellyfish, and mushrooms.
• This is called bioluminescence. Our major source of light is the sun. It is the
major source of light for the earth.
• A massive ball of fire, at the center of which, a nuclear fusion produces
massive energy. This energy comes out as heat and light. The light from the
sun is one of the major factors behind the sustainability of life on earth.
Other natural sources of light are the stars.
Artificial light is created by humans. Flashlights,
table lamps, neon signs, and televisions are some
sources of artificial light. Most of the lights that
are man-made need an energy source, such as
electricity or batteries, to produce light.
• Uses of Light Energy
• It helps us to see things.
• It helps plants to make food and to grow.
• It is used in power satellites and space stations.
• It is used in many electronic appliances.
• The energy of light from the sun can be harvested
to solar panels and can be used for domestic use
since it is eco-friendly and cost effective, too
• Directions: Enumerate some uses of light energy using
the diagram. Write your answers on a separate sheet of
paper
• Directions: List down at least five sources of light energy using
the graphic organizer. Write your answers on a separate sheet of

pay attention to, but we sure miss it when
it is absent. It keeps us warm and helps us
see the world. This lesson will explore
light as an important energy source.
