Making a Fruit Smoothie is YUMMY!
Plug a Blender into the wall outlet, and you're ready to go. 
Which choice below BEST shows the energy transformation of making a smoothie?

• Electrical to Kinetic
• Electrical to Chemical
• Mechanical to Sound

A Steam Locomotive uses wood or coal, to create steam from water. This steam moves pistons, and thus, the train. Choose the best energy transformation below for a steam locomotive.

• Thermal --> Mechanical --> Chemical (plus heat)

• Chemical --> Thermal --> Mechanical (plus heat)

• Mechanical --> Chemical --> Thermal (plus heat)

• Electrical -> Chemical --> Thermal (plus heat)

As hard as you push on a skateboard, you'll eventually come to a stop. This is because...

• ...El cuh ran me over

• ...you can't overcome gravity.

• ...your push turns into kinetic energy, sound, and heat.

• ...your kinetic energy turns into potential energy.
