What has the ability to make a change?
Energy
Give two examples of how we can see light energy.
What form of energy allows you to see?
Light Energy
Is this true: can energy transform, or change, from one form into another.
Yes, energy can change from one form to another. For example, light energy can be captured by solar panels and transformed into electric energy to power a home, car, and many other things.
What is a conductor.
Conductors allows electricity to easily travel through them. Some good conductors include metals. Conducts comes from the word conductus which means a carrier.
When you turn on a lamp, electrical energy changes into two other forms of energy.
Which two forms of energy are produced?
Light and Heat
What forms of energy are produced when Mr. Taylor sings his new hit single I love science.
Motion - Sound
When you eat food, your body breaks it down and uses the energy to move and play.
What energy transformation happens?
Chemical - Motion Energy
