100
This science term is the ability to do work; make things move or change.
What is energy?
100
This form of energy is the energy of motion.
What is kinetic energy?
or
What is mechanical energy?
100
This is stored energy.
What is potential energy?
100
Most of the light and heat energy we receive comes from this source.
What is the sun?
200
This is the energy that travels in waves and allows us to see.
What is light energy?
200
This kind of energy causes vibrations in matter. These vibrations reach our ears in waves that allow us to hear.
What is sound energy?
200
This is the energy of moving electrons.
What is electrical energy?
200
A mirror does this to light rays so you can see the image in the mirror.
What is reflects the light rays?
300
Temperature is the measure of this kind of energy.
What is thermal (heat) energy?
300
The total of potential and kinetic energy is called this kind of energy.
What is mechanical energy?
300
This type of energy causes matter to change states.
What is thermal energy?
(Thermal energy can change an ice cube, to liquid water, and then to a gas)
300
This is the highness or lowness of sound.
What is pitch?
400
This kind of energy is the energy stored in food. We digest the food for energy.
What is chemical energy?
400
This law of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed.
What is the Law of Conservation of Energy?
400
Lightning is an example of this kind of energy.
What is electrical energy?
400
A ball being thrown across a field demonstrates this type of energy.
What is kinetic (or mechanical) energy?
500
Explain how energy is being changed from one form to another as the rollercoaster car moves through the letters on the track above.
Position A: Car has mostly potential energy at the top of the hill.
Position B: Car is gaining kinetic energy, but losing potential energy based upon its position.
Position C: Car has mostly kinetic energy and is moving quickly.
Position D: Car has lost some kinetic energy, but has gained potential energy based upon its position at the top of the hill.
500
Bats use this type of technique to bounce sound waves off of objects to determine their position.
What is echolocation?
500
These energy transformations are taking place when a battery-powered speaker is used to play music.
What is chemical energy (battery) to electrical energy (wires) to sound energy (speakers)?
500
A person digesting food is an example of this kind of energy.
