Energy Conversions
Standard GLE Analyze various types of energy transformations GLE Explain the principles underlying the Law of Conservation of Energy
An energy CONVERSION occurs when one form of energy changes into a different form of energy. Often, one form of energy changes into more than one form of energy.
An Alarm Clock Begins with: electrical energy Transforms into: sound energy light energy thermal energy
A Hair Dryer Begins With: electrical energy Transforms into: sound energy thermal energy mechanical energy (when fan moves)
A Lighter Begins with: chemical energy Transforms into: light energy thermal energy
A Lamp Begins with: electrical energy Transforms into: light energy thermal energy
A Flute/Harmonica Begins with: kinetic energy Converts into: sound energy thermal energy
