Recurring themes and concepts — Connections to the content
Matter and energy are conserved, changing forms but maintaining quantities. Energy flows within a system or between systems through transfers and transformations. Matter is cycled within systems through physical and chemical processes.
Energy is being transferred and transformed as it is sensed. For example, heat is the transfer of thermal energy from one object to another, so when a person touches a cold object, heat moves out of their hand and into the object.
