Energy is everywhere in different forms. It’s light and heat, but also sound, electricity and magnetism. We make use of energy every day without even thinking about it; flicking the lights on, listening to music, and using a computer. Most electricity is generated by burning fossil fuels to release their energy— not good for climate change. Thankfully, there are lots of renewable sources of energy that won’t run out and are much better for the environment, including solar, water or wind.
Scientists in this zone might be researching future energy sources, making interesting use of sound to study materials, finding ways to keep our homes warmer in winter, or be working out how best to get the energy we have around the country, looking deeply inside our ultimate source of energy, the Sun.
