This Science NetLinks lesson is the second of a three-part series on energy transformation. All three lessons have the general purpose of increasing students' understanding of energy transfer, its role in chemical change, and the factors that can influence this change. The Transfer of Energy 1 or 2 can be done in any order; however, it is suggested that The Transfer of Energy 1 and 2 be done before The Transfer of Energy 3. This lesson is intended to increase students' understanding of electron transfer and its role in chemical changes.

Grade 6
- Goal 6: The learner will conduct investigations and examine models and devices to build an understanding of the characteristics of energy transfer and/or transformation.
- Objective 6.01: Determine how convection and radiation transfer energy.
- Objective 6.02: Analyze heat flow through materials or across space from warm objects to cooler objects until both objects are at equilibrium.
- Objective 6.04: Evaluate data for qualitative and quantitative relationships associated with energy transfer and/or transformation.
- Objective 6.07: Analyze the Law of Conservation of Energy:
- Conclude that energy cannot be created or destroyed, but only changed from one form into another.
- Conclude that the amount of energy stays the same, although within the process some energy is always converted to heat.
- Some systems transform energy with less loss of heat than others.
