[Eagle Watcher · Rating 3 out of 5]

Energy makes things happen and controls. It makes the wind blow, rain fall, and your bike move. When you see things happen you know that energy is involved. We often think about the energy we use for heating, lighting, etc. This energy comes from electricity and fuels. But there are many different forms like, heat, light, and sound. Energy is all around us and we need it to live.
