Revision of the last class
Lets take a quick recap of what we have studied in our previous classes.
1. Conservation of energy: The energy exists in many forms and can be converted from one
form of energy to another.
2. Characteristics of good source of energy

conventional source of
energy.
Wood
When wood is burnt with
limited supply of oxygen,
water and volatile materials
get removed and wood get Figure 2 charcoal
