Energy in Action!

Explore how energy moves and changes in everyday situations. Read the information carefully, then answer each question. For calculations, show your working.

Energy at the community picnic

A chilly morning picnic turns into a lively afternoon. A camp stove warms a pot of soup. Sunlight powers a small solar panel, which lights a lantern. A speaker plays music using a battery. When a football is kicked, it rolls across the grass and gradually slows down.

1.At the picnic, which object changes electrical energy from a battery into sound energy? Choose one.
  • The speaker
  • The pot of soup
  • The football
  • The solar panel
2.Trace the energy change that makes the lantern glow, starting with sunlight.
3.When the football rolls and slows, what happens to some of its movement energy? Name two forms it changes into.

Choose the best energy pathway

Energy can be transferred or transformed. The diagrams below show pathways to complete.

Battery → torch bulb → ______ energy

Food → muscles → ______ energy

Wind → turbine → ______ energy

4.Complete all three energy pathways in the grid above. For each, name the useful energy output.
5.True or false: Energy disappears when a football stops moving.
TrueFalse

A simple energy investigation

A class tests how much a small toy car rolls after travelling down a ramp. They release it from the same starting point each time. The surface changes, but everything else stays the same.

6.What is the variable the class changes in this investigation?
7.Name one thing the class should keep the same to make the comparison fair.
8.Predict which surface will make the car stop soonest: smooth card, fabric, or a rough towel. Explain your reasoning using friction.
9.A small solar-powered garden light gets energy from the Sun during the day. Describe the energy pathway that helps it shine at night.
