Let's solve the worksheet step by step.

Task 1: Match each energy source to the way we use it.
We are given five energy sources on the left and five images on the right. We need to match each energy source with the correct image that shows how we use it.
####
Energy Sources:
1.
Sun
2.
Oil
3.
Water
4.
Wind
5.
Wood
####
Images on the Right (from top to bottom):
- 🔥 A fireplace (heating)
- 🌊 A dam with water flowing (hydroelectric power)
- ☀️ A solar panel (solar energy)
- ⛽ A gas pump with a car (gasoline for vehicles)
- 💨 Wind turbines (wind energy)
---
Now, let’s match them:
1.
Sun →
Solar panel (☀️)
- The sun provides solar energy, which is captured by solar panels to generate electricity.
2.
Oil →
Gas pump with car (⛽)
- Oil is refined into gasoline, which powers cars.
3.
Water →
Dam with flowing water (🌊)
- Water is used in hydroelectric dams to generate electricity.
4.
Wind →
Wind turbines (💨)
- Wind turns turbines to generate electricity.
5.
Wood →
Fireplace (🔥)
- Wood is burned in fireplaces for heating.
---
✔ Correct Matches:
- Sun → Solar panel
- Oil → Gas pump with car
- Water → Dam (hydroelectric)
- Wind → Wind turbines
- Wood → Fireplace

Task 2: Write three ways you use electricity at home.
This is an open-ended question. Here are three common examples:
1. Turning on lights.
2. Using a refrigerator to keep food cold.
3. Charging a phone or tablet.
Other possible answers:
- Watching TV
- Using a computer
- Running a microwave or oven
- Using a fan or heater
---
✔ Final Answer:
Matching:
- Sun → Solar panel
- Oil → Car at gas station
- Water → Dam/hydroelectric plant
- Wind → Wind turbines
- Wood → Fireplace
Three ways you use electricity at home:
1. Turning on lights
2. Using a refrigerator
3. Charging a phone
