Imagine you're a super scientist! Can you tell me what type of energy a battery converts from one form to another?

• Does it convert sound to kinetic energy?

• Or maybe it changes light to heat energy?

• Could it be transforming mechanical to electrical energy?

• Or is it converting chemical to electrical energy?

Imagine you're at a party, dancing with a glow stick in your hand. It lights up the room for a while, but then fades. This light show is actually a transformation from what to what?

• Heat to light - like a bonfire

• Gravity to potential - like a roller coaster

• Radiant to electrical - like a solar panel

• Chemical to light - like a glow stick

Let's play a game! Can you tell me what 'work' is in the world of physics?

• Is it a magical transfer of energy by a force to move an object?

• Or maybe it's just something you get paid for?

• Could it be something you take home after a long day?

• Or does it simply make you sweat?
