ENERGY TRANSFER
ENERGY TRANSFER
Hi everyone! Have you ever heard the word "Energy"? Energy is an amazing "power" that makes us move, makes our rooms warm, and turns on our TVs.
But guess what? Energy doesn't like to stay in one place. It loves to move around all the time! We call this "Energy Transfer."
Why do we feel warm in the sunshine? (☀️)
Why do the clouds move when the wind blows? (💨)
Why does a hand-warmer make your hands warm on a cold day? (🔥)
Why does the sky flash brightly during a thunderstorm? (⚡️)
"Push!" and transfer power by moving things (Mechanical Energy)
"Warm-up!" and move as heat (Thermal Energy)
"Zap!" and travel super-fast as electricity (Electrical Energy)
"Shine!" and fly far away as light or waves (Radiation Energy)
Now you know that energy is everywhere. When your friend kicks a ball, when your parents cook dinner, and even all the changes in the weather, like the wind blowing and the rain falling! All of this happens thanks to "Energy Transfer."
From now on, look at the world around you. Try to think, "Hey! What kind of energy transfer was that?"
You are already an amazing "Energy Explorer"!
