Energy is everywhere. You should now be able to recognize that energy is the ability to do work (as in causing motion or creating change, not homework!). We've looked around the playground and the classroom for things that move or create change a.k.a. energy sources. Have you looked around your home? Can you spot any examples of electrical, mechanical, heat, light, or sound energy? These are the 5 basic forms of energy that we will be focusing on this year as third graders. If you see some, leave a comment and tell us about them.
For some more information about energy, read the energy story! Keep in mind that this site contains more detailed information about many other types of energy than we will need to know about this year...but super scientists can zoom in on the key details and always love a little extra info!
