1st and 2nd law of thermodynamics

For a video for the first law of thermodynamics i thought we could video tape water boiling over a stove. I thought that becasue the 1st law states that “energy can be changed from one form to another, but it cannot be created or destroyed.” Which boiling water goes from no steam to steam rising up becasue of the water boiling. A video for the second law i thought we could do something that runs on batteries becasue the second law states that the Potential Energy of the state will always be less than it started like a battery. When you first buy a battery it has alot of power but once you have used up all the energy/power it runs out and you will need to change the battery so the item you are trying to use can work again.
