Conservation of Energy

What does the Law of Conservation of Energy state?

• Energy cannot be created or destroyed but it can be transferred or transformed.

• Energy can be created, but it can't be destroyed.

• Energy can be created or transformed, but it can't be destroyed or transferred.

• It is important to use less energy to help save the planet.
