Let's solve this worksheet step by step. The task is to
circle the picture that does NOT belong in each category of energy.
---
1. Light Energy
Images:
- Sun
- Compass
- Light bulb
- Desk lamp
Analysis:
- The
sun produces light energy.
- The
light bulb emits light.
- The
desk lamp also produces light.
- The
compass is a tool that detects magnetic fields and
does not produce or emit light.
✔ The compass does NOT belong.
>
✔ Circle the compass.

2. Heat Energy
Images:
- Swimming goggles
- Campfire
- Box of matches
- Lit candle
Analysis:
- A
campfire produces heat.
- A
lit candle produces heat.
- A
box of matches can be used to create fire (and thus heat), so it’s associated with heat energy.
-
Swimming goggles are for protection in water and
do not produce heat.
✔ The swimming goggles do NOT belong.
>
✔ Circle the swimming goggles.

3. Sound Energy
Images:
- Megaphone
- Table lamp
- Guitar
- Blender
Analysis:
- A
megaphone amplifies sound → produces sound energy.
- A
guitar produces sound when played → sound energy.
- A
blender makes noise when running → sound energy.
- A
table lamp produces
light, not sound. It may make a small hum, but its primary function is
light, not sound.
✔ The table lamp does NOT belong.
>
✔ Circle the table lamp.
---
✔ Final Answers:
-
Light Energy: Circle the
compass
-
Heat Energy: Circle the
swimming goggles
-
Sound Energy: Circle the
table lamp
This helps students identify which object doesn’t fit based on the main form of energy being discussed.
