Directions: Read each step. Then put the steps in order from first to last. Write 1 for the first step, 2 for the second step, and so on. 1. Fossil fuels are burned. The thermal energy of the burning fuel turns

water into steam.

2. Over millions of years, the chemical energy in ancient organisms is

transformed into the chemical energy of fossil fuels.

3. The turbine turns a generator. The kinetic energy of the generator is

converted to electrical energy.

4. Organisms transform the radiant energy in sunlight into chemical

energy.

5. The kinetic energy of steam is transferred to a turbine.
