- Battery + Lightbulb: A battery stores chemical energy. When you turn on the light, this chemical energy is converted into electrical energy, which then powers the bulb to produce light and heat energy.
- Sun + Plant: Plants use sunlight (solar energy) during photosynthesis to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose, storing energy in chemical bonds. This process transforms solar energy into chemical energy stored in the plant's tissues.
- Food + Stomach: When you eat food, your stomach and digestive system break down the molecules. The chemical energy stored in the food's bonds is released and converted into other forms of energy, like thermal energy to keep you warm and kinetic energy for movement.
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of types of energy worksheet.
