Thermal energy is converted to mechanical energy as the energy from heat provides energy for movement.
Mechanical energy is converted to thermal energy as the energy from movement creates heat in the surrounding air.
Chemical energy is converted to mechanical energy as the energy from digested food provides energy for movement.
Mechanical energy is converted to chemical energy as the movement from movement creates reactions in the surrounding air.

Conduction happens when:
*
1 point
molecules vibrate quickly bump into other molecules, which transfers heat
heat is transferred by physical touch
free electrons collide with atoms which cause faster vibrations
all of the above
