B. 1. The teacher reads a paragraph, while the pupils take important notes.
Chemical energy is energy stored in materials. Materials possess chemical energy
due to or owing to their molecular structures. When chemical energy is released, it
becomes kinetic/mechanical energy. Furthermore, when chemical energy is released, a
new substance is formed different from the original material. When you actually take in
food, you actually take in stored energy. It is digested or broken down into simple form
(sugar,protein) that can be absorbed and used by the different parts of the body.

b. How do materials produce chemical energy?
3. a. What are some of the important notes you have taken down from the

6. Listen to the following dictation. Take down important notes.
(Each group will write their written work in a manila paper.)
Moving persons or objects possess mechanical energy. It can be produced
through energy transformation. For example, in walking, running or jumping, we use
mechanical energy caused by the release and transformation of the chemical energy in
food we have eaten. A moving vehicle, a running machine uses mechanical energy, made
possible by the release and transformation of energy from fuel.
