Eneray can make things work, make things move, and make things happen. People use energy to work and to play. When people do things like cook food, listen to music, and use a lamp, they are using heat energy, sound energy, and light energy. Prarie ‘What types of energy can you see here? ‘What type of energy makes televisions and computers work? What types of energy do you use every day?Energy is everywhere and energy is in everything We can’t make energy and we can’t destroy it. When we use energy to make something happen, we don’t lose it. It becomes a different type of energy. Converting Energy a race, some of itis converted into heat energy. That’s why runners look and feel so hot at the end of a race! in their leps is used to make them move. Most of itis converted into heat energy. a a Different Types of Energy “There are many different types of energy, for example electrical energy and heat energy. Two important types of energy are kinetic energy and potential energy Kinetic energy is All ay. Wind is moving kinettc energy in wind to fy type of energy that’s mov things that move have kinetic en ar, We use th kttes and to sail boats. ‘Things that are not moving also have energy. Potential energy is stored energy. It’s energy inside something, that’s waiting to be used. It’s energy that has the potential to do work. We have potential energy stored in our bodies. When we run, some of this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy to make our legs move.
