Types of Energy and Their Applications

The video introduces a new unit on energy, explaining it as the ability to do work or cause change. It discusses the sun as the primary energy source and introduces different types of energy using the MR SENSE strategy: mechanical, radiant, chemical, electrical, nuclear, thermal, and sound energy. Each type is explained with examples. The video concludes with questions and activities for students to reinforce learning.
