Plants are nature’s little energy factories! When the sun shines, leaves use sunlight, water, and air to make food. This is called photosynthesis. Plants store the sun’s energy inside themselves.

Animals eat plants to get energy. When a rabbit eats grass, it gets the sun’s energy from the plant. Then a fox eats the rabbit. In this way, energy moves through nature. Wind and water also carry energy. Wind can turn big windmills（风车） to make electricity（电）. Water flowing in rivers can do the same.

People use these natural energies every day. We use energy from the sun, wind, and water to light our homes and run our schools. If we protect plants, animals, and clean water, we can always have clean energy. Nature gives us power—we must take care of it!
