Place the steps below in sequential order of how a lava lamp uses and converts energy.
- Thermal energy is produced from the lightbulb being on for a while.
- Light energy is produced by the lightbulb.
- The materials inside the lava lamp are heated at different rates, changing their densities.
- Once the density of the material is greater than the water, it begins to sink.
- Electrical energy is used to turn on the lightbulb.
- Once the material is back at the bottom of the lava lamp, the process repeats.
- After the heated material floats to the top away from the heated lightbulb, it begins to cool, causing the density to increase.
- As one material heats up, it becomes less dense and floats toward the top.
