Energy and Energy Transformations What is energy, and what are energy transformations? Before You Read Before you read the chapter, think about what you know about energy and energy transformations. Write three things you already know about energy and how energy changes in the first column. Then specify three things that you would like to learn in the second column. When you have completed the chapter, think about what you have learned and complete the third column.
