Ms. Vasquez needs to heat water to make hot chocolate. This is the type of energy that needs to be transferred to the pot to make the water heat up. 

What is heat? 
100

This is the type of energy that a ball rolling down a hill has. 

What is kinetic energy? 
100

True or false? An object with a small mass but fast speeds can have a lot of kinetic energy. 

What is true? 

100

This heat transfer helps distribute heat in the oceans and the atmosphere? 

What is convection?

100

This type of energy is converted to light and heat energy when a lighbulb is turned on. 

What is electrical energy? 

200

This is energy that can travel through space. 

What is radiant energy? 

200

A basketball sitting on a desk has potential energy, until it is knocked off. This is the type of energy it has as it falls to the ground? 

What is kinetic energy?
200

This is the "weight" of something. 

What is mass?

200
This heat transfer causes your feet to warm up when sitting next to a campfire. 

What is radiation?

200

This energy type is what your body uses and converts to heat, mechanical, sound, etc energy. 

What is chemical energy? 

300

This is energy from the movement of electrons. 

What is electric energy? 

300

This is where a rollercoaster has the highest potential energy

What is at the top of the hill? 
300

This is the measurement of how fast an object is moving. 

What is speed?

300

This heat transfer occurs between objects in direct contact. 

What is conduction? 

300

True or false? Electricity cannot be transferred to another type of energy.

What is false?
400

This is energy stored in the bonds between atoms. 

What is chemical energy? 

400

This is energy in motion

What is kinetic energy? 

400

This affects kinetic energy the most. 

What is speed? 

400

This heat transfer occurs in liquids and gases?

What is convection?

400

This energy transfer happens with a windmill generates electricity. 

What is mechanical to electrical energy? 


500

This is energy caused by vibrations or disturbances of matter. 

What is sound energy? 

500

This is stored energy. 

What is potential energy? 

500
Kinetic energy is affected by these two factors. 

What are mass and speed?

500

This heat transfer occurs through space.

What is radiation?
