Heat Sources

Sources of Heat
(to the tune: "My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean")

Oh, we can make heat with rubbing,
And heat from machines can be fun...
A hot tub will help us keep cozy,
But most of our heat's from the sun.

Chorus:
Heat and light can warm us.
Heat from the sun will help plants to grow.
Sunlight helps all creatures
That live on Earth, and below.

Mechanical machines are helpful
They work without electrical power,
Like biking and cutting and mowing,
They produce some heat and some power.

Chorus

Electrical machines are common,
Like everything that has a cord.
A lamp, stove, TV, or heater,
And battery-powered toys.

Chorus

Rubbing two things together
Will create a little heat
Like sticks, hands, ballons, and paper.
I really think friction is neat.

Chorus
