There are many sources of energy, but one of the best sources of energy is our very own sun!

It’s taking energy just for you to sit at your computer. It is taking energy for your computer to run. The light that is on your desk is using energy. The refrigerator is using energy to keep your snack cold. Your dog is using energy…. Even if it’s laying around all morning, it needs energy to snore, and to digest it’s treats. So where does energy come from? Good question. It always exists! You can’t create it and you can’t destroy it. It just turns from one kind of energy into another. Isn’t that interesting?
