100

Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be transferred or transformed, is this law of physics.

What is the law of conservation of energy?

100
What is the process of saving up or storing energy?
Potential energy.
100
Energy that has the ability to fall; this type of energy increases the higher up you go.
Gravitational energy.
100

You use these items to make this:

Wires

Battery

Lightbulb 

What is a simple circuit? 

200
Using a hot plate to boil water.
Electrical energy -> heat energy
200

Is metal a good conductor of heat or a good insulator?

Good conductor.

200
What is the process of spending energy or energy in motion.
Kinetic energy.
200
"You can burn it or you can eat it."
Chemical energy.
200

Batteries have the ability to have an energy transformation. This is needed in order for the transformation to occur.
