Let's solve the problem step by step based on the image you described. The worksheet is titled
"Forms of Energy", and the task is to
circle the picture that does not belong in each row, which represents a specific type of energy:
Sound Energy,
Light Energy, and
Heat Energy.
---
🔹 Row 1: SOUND ENERGY
Images:
1. A
tambourine (musical instrument that makes sound)
2. A
piano (makes sound when played)
3. A
drum (produces sound when hit)
4. An
open book
✔ Analysis:
- Tambourine, piano, and drum all produce
sound when used.
- An
open book does
not produce sound on its own — it’s a source of information, not sound energy.
🔹
Answer: Circle the
open book — it does
not belong.
---
🔹 Row 2: LIGHT ENERGY
Images:
1. A
brush (used for painting, not light)
2. A
candle (produces light when lit)
3. A
light bulb (emits light)
4. A
sun (major source of light)
✔ Analysis:
- Candle, light bulb, and sun all emit
light energy.
- A
brush does not produce light — it's a tool used for painting.
🔹
Answer: Circle the
brush — it does
not belong.
---
🔹 Row 3: HEAT ENERGY
Images:
1.
Fire (produces heat)
2.
Volcano (erupts with lava, emits heat)
3.
Snake (a living animal, but not a direct source of heat energy)
4.
Hot stone (can retain heat, often used in cooking or heating)
✔ Analysis:
- Fire, volcano, and hot stone are all sources of
heat energy.
- A
snake is an animal that generates body heat, but it’s not a
source of significant external heat energy like the others. More importantly, in this context, snakes are
not typically associated with producing heat as an energy form in this kind of educational setting.
But wait — let’s double-check: Is the snake really the odd one out?
Actually,
snakes are cold-blooded animals, meaning they do
not generate their own body heat — they absorb it from the environment. So they
do not produce heat energy; instead, they rely on external heat sources.
So, among fire, volcano, and hot stone — all
emit heat, while the
snake does
not produce heat.
🔹
Answer: Circle the
snake — it does
not belong.

✔ Final Answers:
-
Sound Energy: Circle the
book
-
Light Energy: Circle the
brush
-
Heat Energy: Circle the
snake

📝 Explanation Summary:
Each row contains three items that represent the named form of energy, and one that does not. We identify the outlier by understanding what each object actually produces:
-
Sound Energy: Objects that make noise → Book does not.
-
Light Energy: Objects that emit light → Brush does not.
-
Heat Energy: Objects that produce heat → Snake (as a cold-blooded animal) does not.
This activity helps students classify objects based on the forms of energy they produce.
