(Energy Transformations)
Pick three of these five examples, and describe as many forms of energy in them as you can, and describe how it changes form from one to another. 1. When a gardener plants tomatoes, harvests them and eats them. 2. When you plug in your phone to a car charger and use it to text and make calls. 3.
