Could be on the test
This...is the ability to cause change.
What is...energy
This...is energy in motion.
What is...kinetic energy
As mass increases, Kinetic Energy will do this.
What is...increase
This 8th grade teacher sure knows his history.
Who is Mr. Fry
Which has more of an impact on kinetic energy; mass or velocity?
What is...velocity as mass only doubles kinetic energy, velocity increase will quadruple it.
This...is stored energy.
What is...potential energy
Explain convection when discussing thermal energy transfer.
What is...the transfer of thermal energy through direct contact (ex: if you touch a hot pot)
This 8th grade teacher can help you read and understand what you are reading.
Who is Mr. Martin
True or false? Energy can be destroyed.
What is...False: Energy cannot be destroyed (or created) only transformed or transferred per the Law of Conservation of Energy
An increase in velocity will cause kinetic energy to do this.
What is...increase
Explain convection when discussing thermal energy transfer.
What is...the transfer of thermal energy through the movement of particles from one location to another. Ex: Boiling water: heated water rises and then when it cools at the surface, will cool and become more dense causing it to come back down, get heated again, only to become less dense and rise back up causing a convection current.
This 8th grade teacher has been with us for a short time but sure does help us with numbers.
Who is Ms. Montes (Ms. Ana)
***The Law of Conservation of Energy says this.
What is...energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed or transferred.
***The 4 ways energy can be transferred are these.
What are...
Mechanically: by action of a force
Electrically: by an electrical current
Radiation; by light waves or sound waves
Heating: by conduction, convection, or radiation
Explain radiation when talking about thermal energy transfer.
What is...the emission of energy as waves, particles, or rays.
This 8th grade teacher loves everything science.
Who is Mr. Bennett
***The difference between kinetic energy and potential energy is this.
What is...potential energy is the stored energy in any object or system by virtue of its position or arrangement of parts while kinetic energy is the energy of an object or a system's particles in motion
***The 3 ways thermal energy is transferred are these.
What are conduction, convection, and radiation
***Energy and work are measured in this.
What are...Joules
These two 8th grade teachers teach both 7th and 8th grades.
Who are Mr. Fry and Mr. Bennett
