SOURCE A
What is Energy?
Energy is the ability to do work. There are many different kinds of energy, such as light, sound, and heat. We need energy for our homes to power lights, refrigerators, air conditioners, and computers. We use energy when we drive cars or pedal a bike. We power our devices with energy stored in batteries. Even sleeping requires energy!
SOURCE B
Energy Moves and Changes Form
Energy transfer takes place when energy moves from one place to another. Energy can move from one object to another, like when the energy from your moving foot is transferred to a soccer ball, or energy can change from one form to another. When energy in a battery is used to power an electronic device, chemical energy is transformed into electrical energy, which moves along wires. Three more ways energy can be transferred are through light, sound, and heat.
