David goes to the store pick out a cup for Ms. Fredricks. There are 3 color options:
- black - white - transparent
To ensure her drinks stay as cold as possible, what color cup should he get Ms. Fredricks? Why?
WHITE - reflects most light and heat energy instead of absorbing it.
__________________________________________
- transparent allows sunlight/heat to pass through - black absorbs the most thermal anergy

The Kinetic Energy of an object is determined by its Mass x Velocity.
What does the mass of an object mean?
What does the velocity of an object mean?
MASS - the size/weight of the object
VELOCITY - the speed of the object

What causes convection currents in the ocean?
The sun directly hits the equator causing the water to become less dense.
As the currents move away from the equator and closer to the poles, the water becomes cooler and more dense, causing the currents to return back down to the equator.
