This is the ability to do work or cause change.
What is energy?
100
This is the name for stored energy or energy waiting to be used.
What is potential energy?
100
This is the form of energy that means there is motion of any kind.
What is kinetic energy?

This law states that energy CANNOT be created or destroyed; it changes.
What is the Law of Conservation of Energy?
100
This is the variable that the scientist directly changes.
What is the independent variable?
200
These are the two main forms of energy; one is stored and the other is moving.
What are potential and kinetic?
200
This is the name of specific potential energy that means an object is stretched or compressed.
What is elastic potential energy?
200
This form of energy is best represented by a lightning strike.
What is electrical energy?
200
This form of energy is represented in a wind turbine when this is turned into electrical energy.
What is mechanical energy?
200
This is the variable that changes as a result of what the scientist does.
What is the dependent variable?
300
Energy has the ability to change into other forms. This is known as what.
What is an energy transformation?
300
This is potential energy that deals with an object having the potential to be pulled by gravity.
What is gravitational potential energy?
300
This form of kinetic energy is best represented by a dryer.
What is thermal or heat energy?
300
This happens to energy when it seems to disappear or go away.
What is it changes into a different form of energy?

What is three?
400
This is the type of potential that is stored in bonds between atoms.
What is chemical potential energy?
400
This form of kinetic energy is best represented by an echo in a canyon.
What is sound energy?
400
This word can also mean transformation.
What is conversion?
400
This is the part of the scientific method that allows you to formulate an experiment. It is posed in the form of a question.
