Notes: Energy Transformations

SOL Objective: PS.5a & b​
Learning Targets:​
identify and give examples of common
forms of energy​
differentiate between kinetic and potential
energy​
conduct an observational investigations
to provide evidence that energy can be
transferred and transformed between its
different forms​
identify the energy transformations that
occur when energy is used to run a device
in the home or school

Can you identify

the energy

transformations

for these
situations?
