Let's analyze each image and fill in the blanks for
source of energy and
form of energy based on what is shown. We’ll use the provided word bank:
Word Bank:
- stretched
- Moving
- Battery
- Solar energy
- Light energy
- Sun
- Nuclear materials
- Food
- Chemical energy
- Nuclear energy
- Kinetic energy
- Potential energy
---
(a) Solar Panel on a House
-
Source of energy: Sun
-
Form of energy: Solar energy
> *Explanation:* The solar panel converts sunlight into usable energy, so the source is the
Sun, and the form is
solar energy.
---
(b) Food (Meals)
-
Source of energy: Food
-
Form of energy: Chemical energy
> *Explanation:* Food contains stored
chemical energy that our bodies convert into usable energy. So the source is
food, and the form is
chemical energy.
---
(c) Torch Being Used by Children
-
Source of energy: Battery
-
Form of energy: Light energy
> *Explanation:* A torch uses a
battery as its energy source, which converts chemical energy into
light energy when turned on.
---
(d) Person Drawing a Bow and Arrow
-
Source of energy: Object that is being
stretched
-
Form of energy: Potential energy
> *Explanation:* When the bow is drawn, it is
stretched, storing
potential energy (specifically elastic potential energy). The source is the
stretched object (the bow), and the form is
potential energy.
---
(e) Nuclear Power Plant (Cooling Towers)
-
Source of energy: Nuclear materials
-
Form of energy: Nuclear energy
> *Explanation:* Nuclear power plants use
nuclear materials (like uranium) to produce
nuclear energy through fission. This energy is then converted into electricity.
---
(f) Girl Catching a Butterfly with a Net
-
Source of energy: object
Moving
-
Form of energy: Kinetic energy
> *Explanation:* The girl and the butterfly are both
moving, so they possess
kinetic energy. The source is the
moving object (either the girl or the butterfly), and the form is
kinetic energy.
---
