Nina made the circuit shown here in his science class. When she closes the circuit, describe the energy transformations that occur in the circuit, starting with the battery.

• Chemical energy to Electrical energy to Sound energy.

• Chemical energy to Electrical energy to Thermal energy.

• Electrical energy to thermal energy to Sound energy.

• Sound energy to Radiant energy to Chemical energy.

The model shows how different circuits transform energy.

Identify how the circuits transform energy by completing the chart below.

Groups:

(a) Chemical to Electrical to Mechanical

,
