9. Activity 58
Introduction: Energy is never created or destroyed. It is possible to follow energy transfer through many transformations. Most of earth’s energy can be traced back to the Sun which emits electromagnetic energy (light).

10. Energy Cards
Each Pair will get 2 Cards  as you finish with each card, pass it to the right until the teacher tells you to stop. We will share our answers as a class.

Sentence(s) describing the transformation
8 (water fall)
Gravitational Potential Energy
Water falling over the dam loses gravitational potential energy and gains kinetic energy, until at the bottom it has been transformed into kinetic and some sound energy.
Kinetic (motion, sound)
