Exploring Energy at Home

Find Energy in Everyday Life

Look for all the ways energy helps you at home. You use energy when you:

  • Turn on a lamp (light energy)
  • Heat food in a microwave (heat energy)
  • Play music (sound energy)
  • Jump and run (movement energy)

Keep a journal of all the different kinds of energy you notice in one day. You might be surprised how much energy is all around you!

Examples

  • Cooking food using heat energy.

  • Riding a bike using movement energy.
