Energy Basics
What type of energy is the energy of motion?
Kinetic energy
What happened to Mila's music halfway through her run?
It stopped playing.
True or False: A phone needs energy to play music
True
What object gave energy to Mila's phone?
The battery pack.
What is a claim?
The answer to the question
What type of energy can be stored and used later?
Potential energy/stored energy
What did Mila connect to her phone?
A portable battery pack.
Mila's music stopped. Did the phone have enough available energy to continue playing music?
No
Complete the sentence:
Energy moved from the ______ to the ______.
Battery pack → phone.
What is evidence?
Information that supports your answer.
True or False: An object can have energy even when it is not moving.
True
Why did Mila's phone begin playing music again?
Energy transferred from the battery pack to the phone.
Which is the BEST evidence that the phone did not have enough energy to keep playing music?
A. Mila ate a banana
B. The music stopped
C. Mila went running
D. She wore headphones
The music stopped
Why did the phone start playing music again?
A. The phone created energy.
B. Energy transferred from the battery pack to the phone.
C. The headphones gave the phone energy.
D. Mila's running charged the phone.
B. Energy transferred from the battery pack to the phone.
Reasoning :
“Based on the evidence, ______.”
Based on the evidence, the phone needed energy because it started playing again after Mila connected the battery pack.”
Mila eats a banana before running. Does the banana contain energy?
Yes. The banana contains stored energy that Mila's body can use
After Mila plugged her phone into the battery pack, did the energy stored in the battery pack increase, decrease, or stay the same?
Decrease
Complete the sentence:
“I know the phone did not have enough energy because ______.”
The music stopped playing.
After giving energy to the phone, did the amount of energy in the battery pack:
A. Increase
B. Decrease
C. Stay the same
B — Decrease.
"This matters because ______.”
…it shows that energy transferred from the battery pack to the phone.”
Explain the energy change when Mila eats food and then runs.
Stored energy from the food is transferred to her body and allows her body to move, producing kinetic energy.
Give a complete scientific explanation:
The battery pack's energy decreased.
What evidence and reasoning support this claim?
Evidence: Mila's phone began playing music after she connected it to the battery pack.
Reasoning: The phone needed energy to operate. Since energy transferred from the battery pack to the phone, the amount of stored energy in the battery pack decreased.
Which is the stronger answer?
A. No.
B. No. My evidence is that the music stopped playing.
B. No. My evidence is that the music stopped playing.
Why did the battery pack's energy decrease?
Because energy transferred from the battery pack to the phone.

Question: Did the battery pack loose some of its stored energy ?
Claim:The battery pack lost some of its stored energy.
Evidence:The phone started playing again after Mila connected the battery pack.
Reasoning: This matters because energy transferred from the battery pack to the phone, so the battery pack had less stored energy.
