Energy is like the magic that makes things move and work. Imagine when you play with a toy car, you push it to make it go. That push is like giving the car some energy. Without it, the car would just sit still. Energy can come from many places, like the food you eat. When you eat, your body gets energy to run, jump, and play.
Think of energy like the sunshine. The sun gives light and warmth, helping plants grow. Without the sun’s energy, plants wouldn’t have the power to make food and grow big and strong. Just like how you need energy to play outside, plants need the sun’s energy to live.
Energy can also be like a battery. A flashlight needs a battery to shine its light. When the battery runs out, the light goes out too. The battery stores energy so the flashlight can work. In the same way, energy helps everything around us work, from turning on the lights in your house to making cars go vroom!
