Looks like you have the right idea, but a transfer involves going from one form of energy to the next, so I think you should rephrase your answers in the form of: (starting energy) to (ending energy).

For example, the first one would sound better as: light energy to chemical energy

Oh, thanks. Do you know if the ones i have so far are right? I think these two are chemical, but i may be wrong

Coal to a factory
Factory to power lines

I have no clue about these two

Rubber tree to factory
Factory to ball (manufacture)
