What to Focus On

  • Energy is defined as the ability to do work.
  • Energy is required for body activities and for machines.
  • Energy exists in different forms such as heat, light, mechanical, electrical, chemical, and sound energy.

  • A source of energy gives usable energy.
  • Renewable sources can be replenished in a short time.
  • Non-renewable sources are limited and exhaustible.

  • Coal, oil, and natural gas are fossil fuels.
  • Fossil fuels are conventional and non-renewable.
  • More than 80% of industrial society energy comes from burning fossil fuels.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

All sources of energy are renewable if they are useful.

Natural gas is a renewable fuel because it burns more cleanly than gasoline.

The sun is only one energy source among many, so other forms of energy do not depend on it.

Memory Tips

Definition of energy

Sun as the ultimate source of energy

Fossil fuels as bottled solar energy
