ENERGY EXPLANATION
SCENARIO CONVERSION
INVOLVED
 Solar panels consist of photovoltaic
cells, or also known as solar cells, that
harness or absorb energy from the
sunlight (Solar Energy).
Solar energy to  Once energy from the sunlight is
In solar panel
Electrical Energy absorbed, electrical charges are created
that move in response to an internal
electrical field in the photovoltaic cells.
 The said process causes electricity to
flow, thus creating electrical energy.
 Playing an instrument involves either
hitting, strumming, or blowing air into
it. Regardless of what action is done to
instrument, it can be said that motion is
involved, thus creating a kinetic /

instrument  During the process of hitting,
Energy
strumming, or blowing air into the
instrument, sound is produced.
Therefore, the applied kinetic /
mechanical energy is then transformed
to sound energy.
 A person or an object resting at the top
of a slide possesses gravitational

object sliding  Once the person or object slides down,
Energy
the stored gravitational potential energy
is then converted to kinetic energy.
In e-bike Electrical Energy to  The main power source of an e-bike,
Mechanical Energy short for electric bike, is a rechargeable
battery.
 Battery works in a way that it converts
chemical energy to electrical energy.
However, with rechargeable batteries,
this process can be reversed.
Rechargeable batteries reverse the
electron flow from the cathode to the
anode. This process converts electrical
energy to chemical potential energy.
  During the process of using the e-bike,
this stored chemical potential energy is
then converted back to electrical
energy.
 The produced electrical energy is then
converted to mechanical energy through
the use of a motor, thus causing the e-
bike to move.
 A rice cooker’s main power source is
electricity, thus harnessing electrical
energy.
Electrical Energy to
In rice cooker  A rice cooker has an electronic device
Thermal Energy
or component that directs and controls
the electric current to produce heat, thus
producing a thermal energy.
 SALt is an LED lamp that is powered
by saltwater.
 SALt converts saltwater to electricity
through galvanic reaction of an anode

Lighting) When saltwater, the electrolyte, comes
in contact with these two rods,
electricity is then created.
 This electrical energy is then converted
to thermal and light energy.
 When food is broken down, our body
transforms chemical energy in the food
to several types of energy.
Chemical Energy to  The chemical energy in the food is then
Digestion of food
Thermal Energy converted to thermal energy as our body
produces heat when digesting food.
This said thermal energy is used to
maintain the body’s temperature.
