Activity 1 - Home Energy Use
These are examples of home features that affect energy use.
What are devices, appliances and structural features?
This tool uses gravitational potential energy to do its job
What is a hammer
The energy of motion
What is Kinetic Energy
This is a tool used to collect data on Thermal Energy
What is a thermometer
This states that energy cannot be created or destroyed. It states that the total energy is the same after transformation.
What is The Law of Conservation of Energy
These appliances eat up the most energy.
HVAC system, water heaters and clothes dryers.
This word describes the transfer of energy from one object to another
What is Energy Transfer
Rubbing your hands together creates this kind of energy transformation
What is Kinetic Energy to Thermal Energy
This is the level you should read a thermometer at
What is eye level
If Engine A gives of 70% Thermal Energy what is it maximum efficiency
What is 30%
The trade-off involved using single-paned windows instead of double-paned windows.
What is costs less initially (at first)?
The cylinder with the most G.P.E. before being dropped had the energy transformed into the most ________ just before it hits the nail.
What is Kinetic Energy
This is what the first hill in a roller coaster is called
What is the Lift Hill
The components of this system
What is copper shots, the shaker and the person shaking it.
This is the energy type before transformation when using a toaster
What is Electrical Energy
This word means using less total energy to provide the same amount of useful energy.
What is energy efficiency?
This energy is referred to as stored energy
What is Potential Energy
This place on the roller coaster has the maximum Kinetic Energy
What is the bottom of the Lift Hill
This is a relationship in which the change in one factor causes a change to another factor
What is a Causal Relationship
This program started in 1992 as a program for manufacturers to promote energy efficient products that reduce green house gas emissions
What is Energy Star
The locations of the houses we compared in Activity 1.
What is Texas and New York?
The evidence for determining which cylinders have the most energy
What is cylinders with the fewest drops
This is another type of energy that Kinetic Energy can transform into
What is Thermal and Sound Energy
This is the measure of the average Kinetic Energy per molecule of a substance
What is Temperature
Chemical, Nuclear, Elastic, and Electric Energy all have this in common
What is they are all types of Potential Energy
