Nature of Science
100
The transfer of thermal energy from a warmer object to a cooler object.
What is Heat?
100
The Energy an object has because of its position.
What is Potential Energy?
100
Energy that is neither lost nor created, but transformed into another form.
What is Energy transformation?
100
Energy can not be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.
What is The Law of Conservation of energy?
100
The variable that is changed in a scientific experiment.
What is an independent, manipulated or test variable?
200
Heat energy that only travels in fluids.
What is Convection currents?
200
The Energy that results from the motion of objects.
What is Kinetic Energy?
200
Energy that is stored in chemical bonds.
What is Chemical energy?
200
Statement that describes what scientists expect to happen every time under a particular set of conditions.
What is a scientific Law?
200
a variable whose value depends on that of another.
What is a dependent or outcome variable?
300
The transfer of thermal energy from one particle of matter to another by direct contact.
What is conduction?
300
Any substance that is derived from plants, and can be used as fuel.
What is Biomass?
300
A measure of the average kinetic energy of particles in an object.
What is Temperature?
300
An object either remains at rest or continues to move at a constant velocity, unless acted upon by an external force.
What is the Law of Inertia?
300
Proposed explanation made on the basis of limited evidence as a starting point for further experimentation.
What is an hypothesis?
400
The transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves.
What is Radiation?
400
A form of Energy that travels through space.
What is electromagnetic energy?
400
Lightning is a form of this.
What is Electrical energy?
400
In any closed system the amount of mass will remain constant over time. This means that matter can neither be created nor destroyed.
What is The Law of Conservation of Mass?
400
Repeat of a scientist's experiment by a different scientist or group of scientists.
What is replication?
500
The total energy of all the particles in an object.
What is Thermal energy?
500
The force that one surface exerts on another.
What is friction?
500
The sum of potential and kinetic energy.
What is Mechanical Energy?
500
states that any two bodies in the universe attract each other with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
What is Law of Gravity?
500
A well tested explanation for a wide range of observations or experimental results.
