| Law of Conversation of Energy- | Energy can not be created or destroyed, but it can be changed (transformed,converted ) to a different form transferred from one object or another. |
| Conserve- | To save. In respect to energy, it means energy can never be created or destroyed, but always stays the same amount,even when it is transferred or transformed. |
| Transfer- | To move something from one place or object to another - the same type of energy can passed along from object or another. |
| Transform or Convert- | Other words that mean the same thing as the word CHANGE. Heat- The transfer or flow thermal energy from a warmer object to a cooler object, |
