LAw of Conservation of Energy

Front

What is the Law of Conservation of Energy?

Back

The Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be transformed from one form to another.

How does energy transformation occur?

Back

Energy transformation occurs when energy changes from one form to another, such as when chemical energy in food is transformed into kinetic energy when we move.
