Let’s go step by step to solve this worksheet.

Part 1: Vocabulary – Match the pictures to the correct word
We have four words in the box:
→ light
→ heat
→ electricity
→ solar energy
Now let’s look at each picture and think about what kind of energy it shows.
Top left picture: Shows a fire under a pot, an iron making clothes warm, and a fireplace with flames. All of these give off warmth → that’s
heat.
Top right picture: Shows an electrical outlet with a plug and sparks around it. That’s clearly showing
electricity.
Bottom left picture: Shows the sun shining on a solar panel connected to a house. The sun gives us solar power → that’s
solar energy.
Bottom right picture: Shows a glowing light bulb. Light bulbs make light → so that’s
light.
✔ So we fill in:
- Top left:
heat
- Top right:
electricity
- Bottom left:
solar energy
- Bottom right:
light

Part 2: Ways to save energy – True or False?
We need to decide if each statement is a good way to save energy (True) or not (False).
Statement 1: “Turn off the lights when you are not in a room.”
If no one is using the light, turning it off saves electricity → YES, this saves energy →
True
Statement 2: “Water the plants with a hose”
Using a hose can waste a lot of water. Watering plants isn’t directly about saving *energy*, but wasting water means more energy is used later to clean and pump water. Also, better ways exist like watering early morning or using drip systems. But since the question is about saving energy — and hoses don’t really help save energy — this is probably
False. (Also, many worksheets consider this wasteful.)
Wait — actually, let’s think again. Is watering plants with a hose related to saving energy? Not really. It might even use more water (and thus more energy to treat/pump water). So it’s NOT a way to save energy →
False
Statement 3: “Take a bath every night.”
Taking a bath uses a lot of hot water, which takes energy to heat. Showers usually use less water and energy than baths. So taking a bath every night wastes energy →
False
Statement 4: “Use public transport”
Buses and trains carry many people at once, so they use less fuel per person than cars. This saves energy →
True
✔ So we fill in:
- Turn off lights →
True
- Water plants with hose →
False
- Take a bath every night →
False
- Use public transport →
True

Part 3: Why is energy important?
This is a short answer question. We need to write why energy matters.
Energy helps us do things: turn on lights, cook food, run computers, drive cars, keep homes warm or cool. Without energy, life would be very hard. We need energy for everything we do every day.
So a simple answer could be:
> Energy is important because we need it to power our homes, schools, and transportation. It helps us stay warm, see in the dark, and use devices like phones and computers.

Final Answer:
Vocabulary Section:
- Top left: heat
- Top right: electricity
- Bottom left: solar energy
- Bottom right: light
Ways to Save Energy (True/False):
- Turn off the lights when you are not in a room. → True
- Water the plants with a hose → False
- Take a bath every night. → False
- Use public transport → True
Why is energy important?
Energy is important because we need it to power our homes, schools, and transportation. It helps us stay warm, see in the dark, and use devices like phones and computers.
