DOUBLE JEOPARDY
The recorded afternoon temperatures for five consecutive days were 68°F, 72°F, 75°F, 70°F, and 65°F.
What was the average temperature for the 5-day period?
Answer: 70°F
Calculation: [68 + 72 + 75 + 70 + 65] = 350 / 5 = 70

While holding his iron machete over a campfire at Camp Crystal Lake, Jason notices the metal handle quickly gets hot. Thermal energy moves through solid metal because vibrating particles pass along their energy when they:
A) Collapse into the flame B) Collide with neighboring particles
C) Combine to form new matter D) Collect inside the hot handle
B) Collide with neighboring particles
Two or more atoms bond together
molecule

PHYSICAL CHALLENGE - 10 Jumping Jacks ( 200 points, all members of team)
A weather station recorded four peak summer temperatures in Death Valley: 112°F, 118°F, 115°F, and 119°F. What was the average peak temperature?
116°F
Calculation: [112 + 118 + 115 + 119] = 464 / 4 = 116
A bowling ball rolls down the lane and crashes straight into the stationary bowling pins, sending them flying in different directions.What type of energy is being transferred from the rolling bowling ball to the pins when they collide?
Answer: Kinetic energy (The moving ball transfers its energy of motion into the pins, causing them to move!)

evidence
PHYSICAL CHALLENGE - Everyone must howl 4x like a werewolf for 200 points.
The werewolf was playing a guitar by plucking a stretched string with his finger. The string begins to vibrate rapidly, producing a loud musical note that travels through the air to your ears.
What specific types of energy are transferred from the plucking of the string to the sound you hear?
___________energy is transferred into ____________energy
Answer: Mechanical energy (from the moving finger) is transferred into sound energy (and a little bit of thermal energy due to friction).

After a long day at Camp Crystal Lake, Jason sits by a crackling campfire and holds a marshmallow on a stick over the hot flames until it turns golden brown and gooey. Which statement correctly describes the energy changes taking place?
A) Chemical energy stored in the wood transforms into thermal energy, which is then transferred to the marshmallow as heat.
B) Thermal energy from the air transforms into chemical energy inside the stick, which moves the marshmallow.
C) Electrical energy in the fire transforms into mechanical energy to melt the marshmallow.
D) Kinetic energy from Jason’s hand transforms into potential energy inside the fire.
A) Chemical energy stored in the wood transforms into thermal energy, which is then transferred to the marshmallow as heat.
