When a candle is burnt a physical AND chemical change takes place. Its a physical change when the wax is being melted because the chemical structure has not change, meaning it cannot be a chemical change. Its also a chemical change because you are burning the string. When you burn something the chemical structure DOES change, meaning it is a chemical change.

How can you explain the physical change of a burning candle using the big idea of energy?

The physical change of a burning candle can be explained using the big idea of energy by understanding that the burning process releases stored chemical energy in the wax as heat and light energy. The chemical bonds in the wax molecules break, converting chemical energy into thermal and electromagnetic energy. This change is an example of the conservation of energy principle, where energy is transformed from one form to another but not created or destroyed.

Which energy changes takes place when a pedling cyclist uses a generator to light his bicycle lamp?

There are 2 energy changes that take place in this action: Mechanical to Light Energy and Mechanical to Electrical Energy. To explain further, when a generator, which uses mechanical energy, is used in turn to light up the bicycle lamp, the light emitted is light energy. At the same time, when the generator lights up the bicycle lamp, the lamp is light up using electrical energy, so mechanical energy also transformed into electrical energy. ===============================> heat and light (in the light bulb)
