TRUE OR FALSE
Nothing creates energy. If something has energy, the energy must have been transferred from something else.
TRUE
What type of energy does a wind-up toy that is wound up but not moving have?
Potential Energy
When we plug our phone into a battery pack why will our phone turn back on.
The battery has stored potential energy that it transfers to the phone.
What is information about the world that is used to go against or support a claim?
evidence
A geologic setting where dense oceanic plate gets shoved beneath thick continental plate - produces volcanoes, earthquakes, etc (example: our Cascades!).
subduction zone
to move from one object/place to another
transfer
Energy can be ___________ from one object to another, and energy can be ______________ from one type to another.
Transferred and Converted
A wind-up toy that is wound up and moving has...
Kinetic Energy and Potential Energy
When you plug your phone into a battery pack, does the energy in the battery pack increase, decrease, or stay the same?
The energy of the battery pack will decrease because the energy is transferring to the phone.
Provide evidence to support the claim:
Solar energy is the best source of energy for the rescue team.
Agree: Solar cells provide energy that can be stored and then transferred.
Disagree: Solar cells only transfer energy when the sun is shining.
