Our Lives revolve around energy from the kinetic energy of this roller coaster to chemical energy which allows this motorcycle to move our food provides energy for skateboarding and solar energy keeps these plants alive for all of this to take place energy must be able to be transferred and transformed welcome to moomoomath and science energy transfer is the movement of energy from one location to another for example energy is transferred when electricity moves from a wall plug down a wire to my favorite Appliance my coffee maker thermal energy is transferred from the stove to the pot to the water energy transformation on the other hand is when energy changes from one form to another for example a fan can transform electrical energy to kinetic energy can be transferred that is moved from one location to another or it can change or transform from one type to another but the total amount of energy stays the same this is due to the law of conservation with States energy can neither be created nor destroyed only converted from one form of energy to another let's take a look at some examples of energy transformations a flashlight converts chemical energy to light energy automobiles convert chemical energy to kinetic energy solar panels convert solar energy to electrical energy so in summary energy transfer is moving energy from one location to another and energy transformation are processes that convert energy from one type to another thanks for watching and remember kindness multiplies kindness be kind to someone today
