Potential:Compressed Spring

A compressed spring also has potential energy because it is elastic.

Kinetic:Open Spring

When the spring opens it releases it's kinetic energy.

Radiation:Fire

Fire transfers heat to another object by radiation, we can use this to heat a pot.

Conduction:Pot of boiling water

When the pot gets hot it conducts heat to the water to make the water boil.

Radiation:Microwave Oven

A microwave oven uses microwave radiation to heat my hot cocoa.

Conduction:Hot Cocoa
