What is energy?

Back

Energy is the ability to do work or cause change. It exists in various forms, such as kinetic energy (energy of motion) and potential energy (stored energy).

Front

Which objects have energy?

Back

All objects that are moving or changing have energy. For example, a spinning fan and a flying soccer ball have energy.

The Hollow Flashlight is a device that can work during the day, typically using solar energy.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the stored energy in an object due to its position or state.

Front

How can energy be transformed?

Back

Energy can be transformed from one form to another, such as converting potential energy into kinetic energy when an object falls.

Front

What is an example of energy in everyday life?

Back

Examples include a moving car (kinetic energy), a stretched rubber band (potential energy), and food (chemical energy).
