What is energy?

Energy is the ability to work, including moving objects or making changes

100

Which form of energy is stored until an atom is split?

chemical energy

100

To write if your hypothesis was correct. If not, what you need to do to make it better

Analyze

100

How did the rubber band help the lab experiment?

The rubber band created the potential energy which make the spool move (kinetic energy)

100

What do humans with chemical energy?

Humans store energy in our bodies as chemical energy.  When we use it, it becomes another form of energy.

200

What do we sometimes call nuclear energy?

We sometimes call nuclear energy RADIANT ENERGY

200

Which form of energy is sensed by a mammal's ear?

Sound

200

This means to make a prediction based on research

Hypothesis

200

What is kinetic energy?

Kinetic energy is the ability to something to move

200

What do other organisms (living things) do with chemical energy?

Other organisms store chemical energy in their bodies and use it when they need it.

300

How is energy stored?

Energy is stored in many different forms

300

Plants convert solar energy into _______ energy and store it until it is needed.

a. light                        d. nuclear

b. heat

c. chemical

C. Chemical

300

Writing what you see as you conduct the experiment

Observations

300

What two forms of energy was demonstrated in the "Spool Racer" Lab

Potential and kinetic energy

300

What type of energy does your body use to walk, run, and lift things

mechanical energy

400

What are invisible form of energy? (you must name the three different types in order to get full points)

Invisible forms of energy are electricity, nuclear, and chemical. We can see the things those forms of energy do.

400

Energy can be transferred by ___________

a. pushing on a brick wall         d. sitting in a chair

b. running in place

c. pushing a wheel barrow


C. Pushing the wheel barrow (potential and kinetic energy)

400

To ask an interrogative sentence

Question

400

When the spool moved, that was an example of ________

kinetic energy

400

How can wind and water be used to move things?

Wind and water can move things like boats and balloons on their own.  They can also be used to make electricity.  Then the electricity can be used to make other things, like fans or cars, move.

500

What are the forms of energy? (you must name all seven in order to get all the points)

There are seven forms of energy: light, motion, sound, heat, electricity, nuclear, and chemical.

500

What does radiant energy come from?

Radiant energy comes from the sun

500

What is the scientific method

Question, Hypothesize, Experiment, Observe, Analyze, and Share the results

500

Give an example of kinetic energy and potential energy

Any answer is fine as long as it is an example of moving (kinetic energy) and when energy is stored (potential energy)

500

What are some ways energy can be transformed from one form to another?

Energy can be transformed from one form to another in many ways.  Energy from moving water and air can cause a machine to turn.  These machines can transform the motion energy into electrical energy.
