    Energy transformations occur constantly throughout the universe. The main forms of energy include light, chemical, mechanical, nuclear, electrical, heat, and sound. Energy cannot be created or destroyed - it only changes form, such as from light to chemical energy during photosynthesis in plants. The sun is Earth's primary energy source; its light energy is transformed into electromagnetic energy that powers plant growth and eventually fuels all animal and human activity through the food chain. People have also invented ways to harness and redirect energy transformations, like using wind turbines to convert wind's mechanical energy into electrical power.

    Objective : Understanding text and extracting information.

    Task: Reading Passage and solving questions.

    Name:__________________________ PYP Year_____ Sec:_______Date:____________

    Read the comprehension and answer the following questions.


    Energy is the ability to do work. It is power that exists everywhere in many forms. The
    main forms of energy are light, chemical, mechanical, nuclear, electrical, heat, and
    sound. Energy changes form whenever it is used to do work. When energy changes
    form it is called energy transformation. Another name for energy transformation is
    energy conversion.

    Energy transformations occur everywhere in the universe. They take place constantly.
    That is because energy cannot be created or destroyed. Energy can neither appear out
    of nowhere nor vanish into nowhere. Instead, energy changes form when it does work—
    such as when it makes something move or when it makes a living thing grow.

    The Sun is Earth’s primary source of energy. The nuclear energy of the Sun is
    constantly being changed into electromagnetic energy, which includes light energy.
    This energy travels in waves through space. On Earth light energy from the Sun is used
    by plants to make their own food. During a process called photosynthesis it is
    transformed into the chemical energy found in plants. People and other animals then
    eat plants as food. The chemical energy of the food transforms into heat and
    mechanical energy. Heat energy maintains the body’s temperature. Mechanical energy
    is the energy the body has because of its motion and position. Activities such as
    breathing, walking, standing, or running involve mechanical energy.

    People have invented many ways to cause energy transformations. For example,
    engineers control how electrical energy is formed and where it goes so that it can be
    changed into light energy. Wind turbines transform the mechanical energy of the wind
    into electrical energy. Power lines transport the electricity from the wind turbines to
    buildings. Wires in buildings deliver the electricity to light bulbs. Electrical energy that
    reaches a light bulb changes to light and heat energy. The heat energy is considered to
    be “wasted” energy. Over time engineers have improved how well light bulbs convert
    electrical energy into light energy.
