WHAT ENERGY TRANSFORMATION TAKES PLACE USING A HAIR DRYER? ELECTRICAL TO THERMAL AND SOUND ELECTRICAL TO CHEMICAL ELECTRICAL TO NUCLEAR AND MECHANICAL ELECTRICAL TO MECHANICAL AND NUCLEAR Put the example in the correct column chemical energy battery plant uses light to make sugar food candle wick wood match mechanical a wind turbine spins an electric pencil sharpener turns a deer runs a hot air balloon floats through the air a fan spins Match the energy type to the description. chemical energy energy between bonds of atoms that make stuff. Example: wood, candle wick, food, chemicals in a battery mechanical energy motion energy radiant energy light energy thermal energy heat energy nuclear energy energy generated from the atom sound energy energy from vibrating molecules and atoms Match the energy resource to the description. wind energy energy that is clean, but can kill flying animals, usually needs flat land solar energy clean energy, doesn't produced harmful gases, affected when their is no sunlight hydroelectric energy migrating fish may be affected, clean energy, may cause flooding geothermal energy energy from the heat in the earth that is free, renewable, and mostly clean, fossil fuels coal, natural gas, oil...nonrenewable and create lots of harmful gases biomass animal waste, plant material...renewable...burning creates harmful gases nuclear energy creates radioactive (nuclear) waste...no harmful gases
