Common Core 4th Grade ELA Question of the Day
Test your knowledge with a hand-picked multiple-choice question.
On a sunny day, the school's garden uses energy from the Sun to help plants grow. This energy is the power that makes things happen. Sunlight warms the soil and fuels photosynthesis, the plant's method for making food. People use energy, too. We use stored energy in batteries to run flashlights, and we use the energy in food to move our muscles. When the class measured how fast water warmed under a lamp, they noticed that more energy made a bigger change. Heating, moving, and lighting all require energy, the ability to do work. By saving energy, the class reduced waste and helped the environment.
