What is Energy?
Energy is defined as the ability to do work

Forms of Energy

Various Forms Of Energy


LIGHT ENERGY
Energy which enables us to see

Various Forms Of Energy


KINETIC ENERGY
Energy possessed by a moving object

A flying bird

A moving vehicle

Various Forms Of Energy


POTENTIAL ENERGY
Energy stored in a body due to its condition or position

Energy stored due to its


condition

Energy stored due to its


position

Various Forms Of Energy


SOUND ENERGY
The energy produced by vibrating object

Sound energy can be


detected by our ears.

Sound energy is important


because it enables us to
communicate and have
entertainment.
Sound is also used to alert
people of something

Various Forms Of Energy


HEAT ENERGY
We know from our experience in
daily life that the condition
shown in these pictures feels
hot.

We say that the objects have


heat energy.
Heat energy can be detected by
our skin

Various Forms Of Energy


ELECTRICAL ENERGY
Energy caused by the flow of electrical current

All the above appliances need


energy to function
The form of energy that makes
them function is called
electrical energy.

Various Forms Of Energy


CHEMICAL ENERGY
Energy stored in a substance

These energy can


be released during
burning or
respiration

We can get energy we need to do work


form our food. Burning fuels such as
petrol, coal and firewood gives us heat
energy.

Various Forms Of Energy


NUCLEAR ENERGY
Released from fission or fusion reactions which occur in atomic nuclei

Nuclear energy is
obtained from
elements such as
plutonium and
uranium.

Nuclear energy is mostly


used to generate electicity.
Some ships and submarines
are powered by nuclear
energy

Sources of energy
Fossil Fuels

Coals, petroleum,
natural gas are
examples of fossil
fuels.
Burning of fossil
fuels produces heat
and light
They are used for
cooking, generating
electrical energy,
heating homes
during winter, etc.

6.2

Renewable and Non-renewable Energy


Define renewable and non-renewable sources of
energy
Group the various sources of energy into
renewable and non-renewable energy
Explain why we need to conserve energy
Suggest ways to use energy efficiently

Renewable & Non-renewable


RENEWABLE ENERGY
Energy that can be replaced when they have been used.
MEANS : the supply of these energy sources will not be used up

NON-RENEWABLE ENERGY
Energy that cannot be replaced and will finally be used up.

ENERGY SOURCES ON EARTH

RENEWABLE

Wind
Geothermal
Sun
Waves
Biomass
Water

NON - RENEWABLE

Petroleum
Natural gas
Coal

Fossil Fuel

Plutonium
Uranium

Radioactive
metals

Non-renewable energy
Fossil Fuels
Coals, petroleum, natural gas are examples of
fossil fuels.
They are formed from dead animals and plants
which died millions of years ago.
fossil fuels are considered non-renewable
because they take so long to form and therefore
cannot be replaced.
