While energy is all around us, we can rarely touch it or feel it or touch it. Try to reach out and grab a handful of sunshine, can you feel the heat and the energy? However, to really capture the really power of this energy you would have to go inside your body to see how the skins cells are reacting.
The only way to capture the true potential of any energy source is to have to right way to process that energy. If you have gasoline, it's basically worthless unless you have an engine to process it and use it. You need the proper way to break that energy down and produce motion.

2. It is important for us to understand the two types of energy that exist around us. Some types of energy are renewable meaning that they are natural and can will always be present. The wind and sun are examples of renewable energies that are always available to us. Other forms of energy are non-renewable which means that they could be here one day and gone the next. Two examples of non-renewable energies are oil and coal. We must be careful how we use these forms of energy because one day they could completely disappear from the face of the earth.
3. One important part of understanding the things we read is to know what particular words mean in the context of the story. Think about some of the vocabulary words that we are studying this week. For example the word 'shoulder' can have different things depending on the context. In one story, shoulder can mean a part of the body between the neck and the upper arm. However, in another sentence the word shoulder can mean to carry or haul a load. Therefore, we must pay attention to all of the words in a story so that we will understand the entire context of the story. Try this interactive website about Context Clues
