What is coal, natural gas, and oil
What type of energy transformation occurs in the following scenario: turning on a flashlight. Hint: There are 3 transformations
What is chemical to radiant to thermal
If a 6th grade student eats a pancake for breakfast and then walks to school. What form of energy was the pancake?
What is chemical
Nuclear energy comes form this element.
What is Uranium.
What type of energy transformation occurs in the following scenario: A windmill spinning
What is mechanical to electrical
If you are riding a roller coaster what form of energy increases as you go up the roller coaster?
What is potential/gravitational potential energy
Define the Law of Conservation of Energy
What is energy cannot be created or destroyed?
The hand warmers were an example of this type of energy.
What is chemical, then heat energy.
What type of energy transformation occurs in the following scenario: eating an apple and then going to the gym to work out
What is chemical to mechanical and thermal
If you and a friend are going down two different slides, but the slide your friend is on is 100 ft in the air and the one you are on is 50 feet, which one of you would have more potential energy?
What is your friend
If a force is applied to an object but the object DOES NOT move is work being done?
What is NO?
Energy can be transferred from one object to another. What is an example of energy being transferred?
What is dominoes.
Trever wants his toy train to be able to make it up a hill but he does not know anything about potential and kinetic energy. Explain to Trever what he could do to get his train up the hill. Hint: explain what he would have to do with the potential and kinetic energy
What is create a ramp to increase the potential energy which will convert to more kinetic energy when released giving it enough energy to get up the hill.
You and your brother are racing a toy car and a toy truck down a ramp at your house. Your brother picks the car because he loves to go fast. You predict that the truck will win down the ramp. Explain why your prediction would be right assuming they are going the same speed and there are no other factors or forces at work?
What is the truck has more mass and therefore more kinetic energy
_______________________ is the ability to do work or cause change
What is energy
What is the energy transformation in a windmill?
Kinetic->Electrical and Mechanical
Wind, solar, and geothermal are examples of this energy source that will not run out.
What is renewable energy?
What type of energy transformation occurs when a plant takes in radiant energy?
What is radiant to chemical?
This form of energy results from atoms breaking apart or fusing together
What is nuclear energy?
This is the combined energy of potential and kinetic energy.
What is mechanical energy?
What is the energy transformation of turning on a television?
What is electrical to light and sound and heat
