Transferring Energy
Let's take a closer look at the four different ways that energy can be transferred.

2
Multiple Choice
When a person plays a guitar what type of energy transfer occurs?
Kinetic to sound.
Chemical to light.
3
Multiple Choice
Which image shows potential energy?

Multiple Choice
Alexis has to identify an invention in her home that converts one energy form into another. She has selected the lightbulb. The energy input into a light bulb is electrical. What type of energy is output from a lightbulb?
Light and motion
Heat and motion
Heat and light
Sound and light
5
Correct Answer: heat and light
Let me explain...A lightbulb produces heat and light after it has transformed the electrical energy it receives from the outlet or socket. Bulbs are one example of a household object that converts energy forms. An oven converts electrical energy into heat energy, a toaster concerts electrical into heat energy, and an alarm clock has an output of light and sound energy that is converted from electrical energy.
