Multiple Choice

Which type of energy is associated with moving electrons?

• Electrical energy

• Thermal energy

• Chemical energy

• Sound energy

Multiple Choice

Why is it important to understand how energy is transferred and conserved in nature?

• Because it helps us predict weather patterns

• Because it explains why energy is never created or destroyed

• Because it helps us understand movement and interactions in nature

• Because it allows us to create energy from nothing
