Energy Transformation: From Sunlight to Your Salad and Beyond

The video explains energy conversion through a story. It starts with the Sun's radiant energy reaching Earth, which plants use for photosynthesis, converting it into chemical energy. This energy is transferred to humans when they consume plants, like lettuce, and is further converted into kinetic and thermal energy during physical activities. The video also covers how electrical energy is used at home, emphasizing the continuous conversion of energy in various forms throughout daily life.
