Conservation of Energy

Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only changed from one form to another. A ball that falls turns its potential energy into kinetic energy.

๐Ÿ’ก Fun fact

Every time you use electricity, its energy changes into light, heat, sound or movement.

All about Conservation of Energy

The law of conservation of energy says that energy cannot be created or destroyed. It can only change from one form to another. When you switch on a lamp, electrical energy becomes light and heat.

A bouncing ball shows the law at work. As it falls, potential energy changes to kinetic energy, and some of it becomes sound and heat when it hits the ground. The total amount of energy stays the same.
