Students investigating mechanical energy conversions and transfers in systems will recognize that while energy is conserved, useful energy diminishes with each conversion. We will learn that energy can be observed only when it is being transferred, and that mechanical energy can be quantified. Energy conservation and conversion concepts will be applied by students to explain energy conversions in natural and technological systems and to investigate the design and function of energy conversion technologies.
For the purposes of Science 10 if no decimal is written for a whole number, assume there is a decimal on the last digit (i.e. 37000 is the same as 37000. which means it has 5 significant digits NOT 2).
