@ @ Look at the story. Are these sentences true or false? ones
Correct the ones that are false in your notebook.
4. Coal, oil and gas are renewable energy >
sources.
2, The temperature of the Earth is
i increasing.
3. Non-renewable energy sources will never
run out
4, Acid rain can kill plants and animals.
5. We can help the environment by using
wind energy, solar energy and
hydropower.

@ Explain the differences between renewable and non-renewable
energy sources.
®@ itis important that we help the environment by using renewable
energy sources. Can you think of any disadvantages of
renewable energy sources?
115Energy isall around us. It provides us with light, sound
and heat. It makes things move and it also makes machines
work. Energy can also be transformed from one form
to another. Here are six different forms of energy.
When an object moves, it has kinetic energy.
Kinetic energy is produced through
movement. A heavy object that is moving
quickly has more kinetic energy than a lighter
object that is moving slowly.
Different energy sources can be used to make
different things move. Most cars get their
energy from petrol, but some cars get their
energy from batteries. A sailing boat gets its
energy from the wind.

We use electrical energy for many things at
home. Electrical energy can make machines
work, We can transform it into light, sound,
heat and movement.
A lot of electricity is still produced by burning
fossil fuels. However, electricity can also be
made by using solar energy, wind energy
and hydropower. Electricity can be produced
in nuclear power stations too. Are there any
nuclear power stations near where you live?
on Earth comes from the Sun. This is a natural source of
light. Other natural light sources include the stars, meteor showers and lightning. At
night, we have to use artificial sources of light, such 2s light bulbs, torches and
| candles.
@ Give examples of the six different forms
of energy.
@ into what forms of energy do our
bodies convert the chemical energy
stored in food?
