Question
I need help with my reasoning for my claim and evidence which I have already done. I need help coming up with a thorough reasoning from what I wrote and the article attached. If their is anything else you think I should add to my explanation the feedback/help would be greatly appreciated.

Scientists have collected significant amounts of data about forms of energy and how energy is
converted from one form to another. Some of the collected data can be observed in the images
and information below.

Law of Conservation of Energy: Energy cannot be created or destroyed, but it may be
changed from one form to another. The total energy of an isolated system is conserved. Often,
energy seems to be "lost" to heat during conversions.
Examples of energy transformations:
Photosynthesis = radiant
Fill up at gas station = chemical
Person eating and jogging = chemical
An oven plugged into an outlet = electrical
Generator = chemical/electrical

Based on the evidence, write a scientific description of the energy transformation that occurs
during the operation of a gas stove.

Transcribed Image Text:Claim
Based on the given information above many conclusions can be drawn. As you can see the transformation of
energy only from one form of energy to another energy form. This law is known as law of conservation of
energy. The Law of Conservation of Energy states, "in a closed system, that is, a system that is isolated from
its surroundings, the total energy of the system is conserved. Or more loosely stated, energy cannot be
created nor destroyed, only transferred or transformed. The Law of Conservation of Energy is shown in the
gas stove.
Evidence
In natural gas stoves, its chemical energy is converted to light and thermal energy in form of a flame. This is
done by combustion producing CO, vapors, heat, and, light. What is CO? Co is carbon dioxide. "A
colorless gas is with a density about 53% higher than that of dry air. It occurs naturally in Earth's atmosphere
as a trace gas", according to a science educational source.
