Energy Definitions and Transformations

Energy is the ability to do work (cause change), and cannot be created or destroyed, only change in form.

Energy transformation is the process by which one form of energy changes into another form, such as ice melting.

Energy transfer is the movement of energy from one object to another, without a change in form.
