What is solar energy?
Energy from the sun
What is thermal energy?
Energy from the movement of particles
What is mechanical energy?
Energy that comes from motion

What does the law of conservation of energy state?
This law states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be transferred and transformed.
What is the difference between transferring and transforming energy?
When transferring energy, you move it from one place to another, ex: The heat from a hot-plate to a beaker, however when transforming energy, you are changing the form from one type into another, ex: Water evaporating (liquid state to a gaseous state).
