People use many sources of energy. Ancient people used only their arms, hands, and simple tools until they discovered fire.
Later, people learned to use the energy of the wind to sail ships. Then they learned to use animals to do work. In the eighteenth
and nineteenth centuries, people began to use machines. The first machines used steam. They burned coal to heat water. The
hot water turned into steam, and the steam engine did the work. Later, people began to use the gasoline engine, and today
people are using nuclear energy.
Energy is one of the basic concepts, or ideas, of physics. It is the ability to do work. Without energy we could live.
We need energy to work, and scientists are always looking for new sources of energy.
1. None of the world’s energy comes from the sun.
2. Wind, steam, and gasoline are sources of energy.
