Energy: what makes things happen, sentence 16
Each time a ball bounces, a little of its energy turns into heat and sound, so it never bounces back as high.
Who acts: ball, little, Energy · What happens: bounce, turn, not bounce back · To what, where: time, heat
This is a sentence of the lesson «Energy: what makes things happen» of the physics course of Mova's primary school. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (ball, little, Energy), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
