Read the following paragraph and describe how the law of conservation of energy is
being demonstrated on a separate sheet of paper. Be sure to

- Apply the Law of Conservation of Energy to the energy conversions


within the process.
- Specify what types of energy are being used and when an energy
conversion is taking place

Coal is burned to make steam that is blown against huge propellers called turbines. The
turbines spin around in a magnetic field to produce electricity. This electricity is used to
run a kitchen blender. (4 points)
