This week in science we have been focusing on mapping energy transfers. We discussed the transfer of energy on a roller coaster, when lighting a match, when using a pull back car toy, the list goes on and on. Below you will see an energy transfer and the why/how behind it.

Object or thing I choose to observe: Computer 

The mapping of the energy transfers: Electrical – Motion – Gravitational – Electrical – Electrical

A paragraph that explains the how and why of each step of the energy transfer(s) I observed: Electrical because that’s what powers computers, Motion because the computer opening, and Gravitational because the computer is still.
