Where can we find energy?

Energy can be found in many things and takes many forms. There is potential energy in objects at rest that will make them move if resistance is removed. There is kinetic energy in objects that are moving. The molecules making up all matter contains a huge amount of energy, as Einstein’s E = mc^2 pointed out to us.

Why do we need energy in our day to day life?

Energy is an essential part of our daily lives! We use energy to heat and cool our homes, schools, and businesses. Animals and people eat the plants and use the energy that was stored. Food is fuel for our bodies’ energy needs like muscle power.

Why someone’s energy needs might change over their life?

Children and young adults undergoing developmental changes in height, weight and body composition have greater energy needs. Energy requirements change as people age, because muscle tissue atrophies, causing a reduction in basal energy metabolism, according to the Colorado State University Extension website.
