Science Assessment ~ Topics ~ Energy: Forms, Transformation, Transfer, and Conservation ~ Misconception NGM002

One form of energy cannot be transformed into another form of energy (e.g. chemical energy cannot be converted to kinetic energy) (Brook & Driver, 1984).

Items that test for misconception NGM002 in this project (ASPECt) and key idea (Most of what goes on in the univers…)
Item ID Number	Item Description	How Often the Misconception was Chosen
NG006005	When a pine cone falls from a tree, its gravitational potential energy decreases and its motion energy increases because its gravitational potential energy is transformed into motion energy.	15%
NG015004	As a ball rolls down a ramp, the gravitational potential energy of the ball decreases and the motion energy of the ball increases because gravitational potential energy is transformed into motion energy.	10%
NG004004	Gravitational potential energy is transformed into motion energy as a rock falls from a cliff.	7%
