L'energie (Energy)

Pour travailler, il faut de l'énergie. Il y a beaucoup de formes d'énergie.

To do work, energy is needed.  There are many forms of energy. 


Par exemple, il y a l'énergie mécanique. Quand on essaie de faire ou de bouger quelque chose, on utilise de l'énergie mécanique ou musculaire. Quand on est fatigué, on n'a peut-être pas assez d'énergie pour frapper un ballon.

 

For example, there is mechanical energy. When we try to do or move something, we use mechanical or muscle energy. When we are tired, we may not have enough energy to kick a ball strongly.

 

 

Il y a l'énergie electrique. À la maison, il y a beaucoup de choses qui travaillent avec l'énergie electrique, par example, la télévision, l'ordinateur, la lumière et les jeux vidéos. S'ils ne sont pas branchés dans une prise electrique, ils ne marchent pas.

 

There is electrical energy. At home, there are a lot of things that work with electrical energy, for example, the TV, the computer, the light and the video games. If they are not plugged in an electrical outlet, they do not work.

 

 

Il y a l'énergie chimique. Une voiture roule parcequ'elle utilise de l'essence. L'essence contient de l'énergie chimique. Quand le réservoir d'essence est vide, la voiture s'arrête.

 

There is chemical energy. A car moves because of the gasoline it uses. The gasoline contains chemical energy. When the gas tank is empty, it stops.

 

 

Il y a l'énergie thermique. Quand on allume une bougie ou cuit la nourriture, on sent la chaleur. Elle peut nous brûler si on ne fait pas attention.

 

There is heat energy. When we light a candle or cook food, we feel the heat. It can burn us if we are not careful.

 

 

Vous avez peut-être entendu parler de l'énergie solaire. Elle donne de la chaleur et de la lumière. Sans cette énergie, la terre sera froide et sombre et nous ne pourrons pas survivre.

 

We may have heard of solar energy. This energy comes from the sun in form of heat and light. Without solar energy, our earth will be cold and dark and we will not be able to live. 

 

 

Il y a l'énergie éolienne. Quand il y a une tempête, on peut sentir la puissance de vent. Le vent peut faire envoler les objets.

 

We may also have heard of wind energy. When there is a storm, we can feel the power of the wind strongly. The wind can blow things away.

 

 

These are some of the types of energy we may be familiar with. 

Talk to your child about those forms of energy and see if they can find more examples of those forms of energy at home or elsewhere.

Compter les pièces de monnaie (Counting coins)

 

The students need to familiarize themselves with the different coins, understand their value and how they are interrelated.

10 cents  =  10 x 1 cent  =  2 x 5 cents   or  1 x 5 cents plus 5 x 1 cent.

 

If a candy costs 30 cents, what coins are they going to hand out to pay the exact amount?

30 coins of 1 cent?

3 coins of 10 cents?

6 coins of 5 cents?

Or a combination of 10 cents, 5 cents and 1 cent?


Encourage your child to practice counting with the coins in French or English. Take him or her shopping with you.
