Conservation refers to the idea that "certain physical characteristics of objects remain the same"‚ despite their perceptual differences (Berk‚ 2009). In Piaget’s theory on conservation‚ children gradually acquire various conservation abilities‚ such as understanding the conservation of numbers‚ weight‚ and volume to name a few. Piaget asserts that until they successfully acquire these abilities‚ they have no real understanding that quantity remains unchanged despite perceptual changes of the objects

for future generations. In addition‚ energy conservation is important because when nonrenewable energy sources are consumed this impacts the environment. The combustion of oil‚ gas‚ and coal in power stations produces carbon dioxide and contributes to global warming. The conservation of energy is important to the environment‚ future generations‚ every living organism‚ and human being on earth. The nonliving sources that contribute to energy conservation are sunlight‚ land‚ water‚ and precipitation
