Introduction - MST4.I.PS4.Introduction:
An underlying principle of all energy use is the Law of Conservation of Energy. Simply stated, energy cannot be created or destroyed.
Energy can be transformed, one form to another. These transformations produce heat energy. Heat is a calculated value which includes the temperature of the material, the mass of the material, and the type of the material. Temperature is a direct measurement of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a sample of material. It should be noted that temperature is not a measurement of heat.

Major Understandings - MST4.I.PS4.5a:
Energy cannot be created or destroyed, but only changed from one form into another. -
Major Understandings - MST4.I.PS4.5b:
Energy can change from one form to another, although in the process some energy is always converted to heat. Some systems transform energy with less loss of heat than others.
