Energy is everywhere — in the food we eat, the light that brightens our rooms, the heat that warms our homes, and the motion of every moving object. This engaging book introduces young readers to the many forms of energy and their relationship to matter, helping them understand one of the most fundamental concepts in science.

Students will explore the different forms of energy — kinetic, potential, thermal, electrical, chemical, light, and sound — and discover how energy can be transformed from one form to another. They will learn about the law of conservation of energy, explore real-world examples of energy transformation, and discover how humans harness energy from a variety of sources to power our modern world.

Aligned with physical science and physics curricula, this book is an ideal resource for school libraries, classrooms, and independent learners. A comprehensive glossary, energy exploration activities, and discussion questions help students develop a solid understanding of energy and matter and their central role in the physical world around us.
