Juan wants to conduct an experiment to see if light will reflect off different materials. These are two of the steps Juan should take before he conducts the experiment.
What is think of a hypothesis, and/or decide on a process, and/or gather materials?
100
This has mechanical energy.
100
Eating an apple is an example of this kind of energy.
What is chemical energy?
100
Energy from the Sun reaches Earth. This does not demonstrate the Sun's energy changing into another form.
What is light brightening a dark room?
100
This is what you could do to decrease the thermal energy of a metal block.
What is cool it?
200
Gasoline stores chemical energy, and when gasoline is burned as fuel in a car, its chemical energy changes. This is how chemical energy changes and how it makes the car move.
What is chemical energy changes to heat and/or mechanical energy so that the car moves?
200
Microwaves, X-rays, and radio waves are all examples of this kind of energy.
What is electromagnetic energy?
200
This form of energy cooks food in a solar cooker.
What is light energy?
200
Gasoline stores chemical energy. When gasoline is burned as fuel in a car, its chemical energy changes. This is how chemical energy changes and how it makes the car move.
What is chemical energy changes to heat and/or mechanical energy and makes the car move?
200
This material conducts heat the quickest.
What is copper?

Jasmine placed a pencil in a glass of water. Part of the pencil was in the water, and part of it was above the water. This is what her pencil looked like in the glass of water.
What is the pencil looked bent or as if it's in two pieces because of refraction?
300
This type of energy is present in an unlit match.
What is chemical potential?
300
This is the energy of motion.
What is kinetic energy?
300
When a football player kicks a ball, he transfers energy to the ball, and this happens as a result.
What is the kinetic energy of the ball increases?
300
This is what happens to the pitch of a sound when the rate of vibration is changed.
What is it can be raised or lowered?
400
Natalia conducted an experiment to learn more about the kinetic energy of a marble. She rolled a marble down a ramp to see how far it would move a cup at the bottom of the ramp. These are two of the possible reasons Natalia got a different result each time.
What is she started the marble at a different place, and/or pushed the marble a different amount, and/or placed the cup in a slightly different place?
400
A thermometer measures this kind of energy.
What is thermal energy?
400
Sound and light energy are alike in that they both produce this.
What are waves?
400
This is how a larger sound wave will make the sound to human ears.
What is louder?
400
Think of a toaster. What forms of energy or present or occur in the use of the device? 

What is electrical energy and thermal energy

What happens when both balloons are rubbed with a wool cloth with a positive charge? 

What is the balloons REPEL


500
If you imagine a drop of water about to fall down a waterfall, at the top of the waterfall the drop of water has this kind of energy.
What is potential energy?
500
This is stored energy.
What is potential energy?
500
This is what prevents most of the energy from the Sun from being absorbed on Earth.
What are clouds?
