Energy - Rule 2
The Law of Conservation
Energy can't be created nor destroyed,
but can be changed from one form into another.

One kind of energy can be changed into another kind of energy.

Examples:    

Electrical Energy to Mechanical Energy

The electrical energy in a battery can change into mechanical energy when it makes a toy operate.

Sound Energy to Mechanical Energy

When you use mechanical energy to thwack a tuning fork against an object it changes into sound energy.
