1- Choose one form of energy generation that was discussed in class and explain the
processes involved in generating the electricity.

2- A computer is an example of an energy converter. It converts electrical energy into

other forms. List two forms of energy that this electrical energy is converted into
within a computer.

3- Explain the Law of the Conservation of Energy.

4- Scientists have been trying to develop a Perpetual Motion Machine (a machine that
never stops moving once it starts) for a long time, however, this has proven to be
impossible. Explain why this dream is impossible.

football 73 cycle for burn off 100 KJ?

C-why children need more energy than the others need each day?

12- Match between the two tables:

The process converts light energy from to heat water

the sun into chemical .. photosynthesis in plants
Wind turbines turn because biofuels and fossil fuels come
Energy in food .. from plants
When it rains water in rivers flows into can be used to generate electricity
lakes that . called hydroelectricity
Solar panels use energy directly from the because energy from sun makes air
sun . move
