Mary's class is learning about the conservation of energy.
The teacher explains that energy cannot be created or destroyed, but it can change forms.
The teacher says that a good example of this is a light bulb. Then, the teacher asks Mary to explain. What should Mary say is the reason that a light bulb is a good example of conservation of energy?
