create a simple worksheet for grade 5 science about radiant and chemical energy that includes multiple choice and a word bank

This resource explores two fundamental types of energy: radiant energy and chemical energy. Radiant energy is defined as energy that travels in waves or particles, which can be felt as heat or seen as light; examples include sunlight, fire, and a light bulb. Chemical energy, on the other hand, is energy stored in substances like food and fuel, released during chemical changes, with examples including food, batteries, and gasoline. The document also encourages learners to sort energy examples into the appropriate categories, think critically about the connection between the foods we consume and sunlight, and engage in more hands-on activities by completing sentences about energy transformations. Additional activities include multiple-choice questions to check understanding, a word bank for energy types, and drawing energy transformations to solidify learning.
