In this lesson, you learned about how when you study the concepts of heat and thermal energy, you can better understand how both old and new technologies operate on the process of energy being transformed from one form to another.
We looked again at how the scientific process over many years, and contributions of many scientists, can change and improve a device. You also learned how to trace the energy transformation in devices and systems. In the next lesson, we will look at the concept of “useful” energy after an energy transformation.
