202 - What is energy, and why is it important?

Imagine you're playing your favorite game or riding a bike. You can do these things because of something called energy. Energy is like the magic power inside you that helps you move, think, and have fun.

There are different kinds of energy, like the energy from food that we eat (like pizza or fruits), the energy from the sun that warms us, and the energy from electricity that powers our gadgets and homes.

Energy is very important because it helps us do things we need and enjoy. Without energy, we wouldn't have light in our homes, we couldn't play video games, and we wouldn't be able to move around or exercise.

Just like how our bodies need food to have energy to play and have fun, the world needs different kinds of energy to keep everything running smoothly.
