2. What type of
energy waves are derived from the sun?










3. What is the
process the sun uses to produce energy?













4. How does the sun help in producing weather?













5. Trace the flow
of energy from the simple machines back to the sun.










6. Trace the flow
of energy from the sun to the electric guitar.










7. Trace the flow
of energy from submarine to the sun.










8. Trace the flow
of energy from the sun to coal used to produce electricity.










9. What type of
energy transformation is represented by photosynthesis?










10. What type of
energy transformation is represented in the use of simple
machines?










11. What type of
energy transformation is represented by the sounds produced by the
guitar?










12. Identify
another example of an energy transformation.










13. Trace an energy
flow beginning with the heat from inside the earth.













What is energy? What
