What is Energy?
Energy is defined as the ability to do work

Forms of Energy
Various Forms Of Energy
LIGHT ENERGY
Energy which enables us to see
 Various Forms Of Energy

KINETIC ENERGY
Energy possessed by a moving object

A flying bird

A moving vehicle
 Various Forms Of Energy

POTENTIAL ENERGY
Energy stored in a body due to its condition or position

Energy stored due to its Energy stored due to its

condition position
 Various Forms Of Energy

SOUND ENERGY
The energy produced by vibrating object

Sound energy can be

detected by our ears.

Sound energy is important

because it enables us to
communicate and have
entertainment.
Sound is also used to alert
people of something
 Various Forms Of Energy

HEAT ENERGY

We know from our experience in

daily life that the condition
shown in these pictures feels
hot.

We say that the objects have

heat energy.
Heat energy can be detected by
our skin
 Various Forms Of Energy

ELECTRICAL ENERGY
Energy caused by the flow of electrical current

All the above appliances need

energy to function

The form of energy that makes

them function is called
electrical energy.
 Various Forms Of Energy

CHEMICAL ENERGY
Energy stored in a substance

These energy can

be released during We can get energy we need to do work
burning or form our food. Burning fuels such as
respiration petrol, coal and firewood gives us heat
energy.
 Various Forms Of Energy

NUCLEAR ENERGY
Released from fission or fusion reactions which occur in atomic nuclei

Nuclear energy is Nuclear energy is mostly

obtained from used to generate electicity.
elements such as Some ships and submarines
plutonium and are powered by nuclear
uranium. energy
 Sources of energy
Fossil Fuels
Coals, petroleum,
natural gas are
examples of fossil
fuels.
Burning of fossil
fuels produces heat
and light
They are used for
cooking, generating
electrical energy,
heating homes
during winter, etc.

CHAPTER 6
Sources of Energy
6.2 Renewable and Non-renewable Energy
Define renewable and non-renewable sources of
energy
Group the various sources of energy into
renewable and non-renewable energy
Explain why we need to conserve energy
Suggest ways to use energy efficiently
 Renewable & Non-renewable

RENEWABLE ENERGY
Energy that can be replaced when they have been used.
MEANS : the supply of these energy sources will not be used up

NON-RENEWABLE ENERGY
Energy that cannot be replaced and will finally be used up.
 ENERGY SOURCES ON EARTH

RENEWABLE NON - RENEWABLE

• Wind •Petroleum
•Geothermal •Natural gas Fossil Fuel
•Sun •Coal
•Waves
•Biomass •Plutonium Radioactive
•Water •Uranium metals
 Non-renewable energy
Fossil Fuels
Coals, petroleum, natural gas are examples of
fossil fuels.

They are formed from dead animals and plants

which died millions of years ago.

fossil fuels are considered non-renewable

because they take so long to form and therefore
cannot be replaced.
