Students built an electrical circuit like the one shown in the diagram. When energy from the battery causes the bulb to light, evidence is provided that--

Energy moves through the wires and is changed into light energy.

The bulb reflects sunlight until it shines brightly and makes heat energy.

The physical properties of the battery are changed by the chemicals inside it.

The wires that connect the parts of the circuit stop heat energy from flowing.

Write a scientific explanation (CER) to describe how energy is being transformed in the example below:

One morning before school, Lea decided to prepare some toast. Her toast popped up as the toaster made a “ding!” sound, and the warm, glowing orange coils of the toaster caught her eye. As she ate her toast, she wondered where the energy in her toaster came from. The main electrical source in Lea’s town is a local wind turbine farm. The wind turbines turn and cause the blades to spin and create electricity. This electrical energy is then sent to the town’s homes through power lines. Look at the diagram below to see how the energy is transferred from the wind turbines to Lea’s toaster.
