Electricity
When there is a break in the circuit and the energy cannot flow. All the wires and parts are not connected.
What is an Open Circuit?
When light hits an object and bounces off.
What is REFLECTION?
The energy of motion.
What is Mechanical Energy?
Exert force on something in order to move it away.
What is push?
An attractive force that ____ a metal towards a magnet.
What is a magnetism?
A material that allows energy to flow through it easily.
What is a Conductor?
When light passes from one medium to another and bends as it passes through.
What is Refraction?
Heat energy. Energy that is measured with a thermometer.
What is Thermal Energy?
Exertion of force on something in order to move it towards you.
What is pull?
The blades on the ____ spin (mechanical energy) when the wind blows past which causes the turbine inside to spin producing electrical energy.
What is a windmill?
When there are NO breaks in the circuit and energy CAN flow. All the wires and parts are connected.
What is a Closed Circuit?
When light hits an object and stops.
What is absorb?
Energy produced by vibrations.
What is Sound Energy?
Attraction or Repulsion that happens between electrically charged particles?
What is Magnetism?
What direction does light travel?
A material that does NOT allow energy to flow through it easily.
What is an insulator?
Not able to see through, not transparent.
What is Opaque?
Energy that is stored, or preserved.
What is Potential Energy?
The force that pulls or or attracts two objects to each other. Like a planet drawing things towards it center.
What is Gravity?
When light passes through a ____ the light bends and the white light separates into all the colors of visible light as it exits the ____.
What is a prism?
The turbines spin (mechanical energy) in the ____ when the water flows by it and produces electrical energy.
What is a Hydroelectric Dam?
Allows light, but not definite shapes to pass through.
What is Transparent?
The energy produced by the movement of electrons FROM ONE PLACE TO ANOTHER. (choo-choo! think about our crazy dance move with our arms!)
What is electrical energy?
A force that pushes in the opposite direction of motion to slow or stop an object.
What is friction?
List the four different materials that are attracted to a magnet.
Steel, Iron, Nickel, Cobalt
