Energy can be found in a number of
different forms. It can be chemical
energy, electrical energy, heat (thermal
energy), light (radiant energy),
mechanical energy (kinetic energy), and
nuclear energy.
The Law of Conservation of Energy
Energy is converted from one form to
another, but it is never created or
destroyed.
Energy transformation is the change in
energy form.
Nuclear energy is
converted to mechanical
energy and then into
electrical energy in a
nuclear power plant.
Gasoline, chemical energy,
is converted to heat
energy & mechanical
energy by a car.
