How is energy transferred?

Energy is like a toy that can move from one place to another, helping things happen.

Imagine you have a ball and you push it, poof, it starts rolling! That’s energy being transferred from your hand to the ball. Just like how you pass a toy to a friend during playtime, energy moves from one object to another when they touch or interact.

Sometimes, energy moves through touching, like when you rub your hands together and feel them get warm. That warmth is energy moving from your hands into the air around you.

Other times, energy can travel through the air or even light, just like how a sun warms up your face on a sunny day without you touching it. It’s as if the sun is passing its energy to you across the sky, kind of like sending a message in a bottle!

So whether it's through touch, heat, or even light, energy keeps moving and helping things happen all around us, just like how your favorite toys come alive when you play with them!
