3. (science) has a large store of energy: «a moving car has a lot of energy».

### In the lessons

In school reports and parents' talk it can politely hint that a child is restless or disruptive; everyday, all regions. In science, energy is a real quantity.

### Examples

- Our new puppy has a lot of energy.
- The report said, "Charlie has a lot of energy," meaning he never sits still.
- Grandma has a lot of energy for her age.
- A falling rock has a lot of energy.
- The class had a lot of energy after break.
- "He's got a lot of energy," the babysitter said, looking exhausted.
- Bananas give you a lot of energy.

### Note

Trap: in a report it may be a soft complaint; check the rest of the sentence. In science, energy is measured in joules. Plain words: lively, restless.
