Hello, young learners! Welcome back to Primary 1 Basic Science and Technology. In our previous lesson, we learned about the concept of energy. [[1]] Today, we’re going to learn about Things that use Energy.
Objectives
By the end of this lesson, you should be able to:
- Mention simple activities showing the use of energy.
- Identify objects that show the use of energy.
- Perform simple activities showing the use of energy.
Things that use Energy
What is energy? Energy is what makes things move and work. We use energy to do activities like running, jumping, walking, and writing. Objects like bicycles, blenders, motor cars, and torchlights also use energy.
Identifying Energy-Using Activities
Some of the activities that show the use of energy include:
- Running: When you run, your body uses energy to move your legs and feet.
- Jumping: Jumping requires energy to lift your body off the ground.
- Walking: Walking uses energy to move your legs and feet forward.
- Writing: Writing requires energy to move your hand and pen across the paper.
- Playing: Playing games like tag or hide-and-seek uses energy to move around and have fun.
Identifying Objects Using Energy
There are many objects that use energy to work. Some of these objects include:
- Television: A television uses energy to display images and sound.
- Blender: A blender uses energy to mix food and drinks.
- Motor car: A motor car uses energy to move from one place to another.
- Torchlight: A torchlight uses energy to produce light.
- Refrigerator: A refrigerator uses energy to keep food cold.
- Fan: A fan uses energy to circulate air.
Performing Energy-Using Activities
Let’s try some activities that show the use of energy:
- Jump up and down a few times.
- Clap your hands together.
- Write your name on a piece of paper.
Evaluation Questions
Now that you’ve learned about things that use energy, let’s see if you can answer these questions: 1. Mention three activities that require energy. 2. Identify two objects that use energy. 3. What is energy? 4. Can you think of other activities or objects that use energy?
Conclusion
Today, we learned about things that use energy. We discovered that energy is essential for many activities and objects in our daily lives. Remember, energy makes things move and work! Keep exploring and learning about the amazing world of energy. See you in the next lesson!
