True or False: Molecules are always moving.
What is True.

This is the definition of Gravitational Potential Energy.
What is the stored energy in an object based on its height above the surface of the Earth.
100
The definition of kinetic energy.
What is the energy of motion.
100
The definition of thermal energy.
What is the energy in the speed of an object's molecules.
100
This is the University Mr. Allen graduated from.
What is Michigan State University.
200
True or False: Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space.
What is True.
200
Which has more GPE - your head or your feet? You must explain WHY.
What is your head.
200
What happens to molecules when thermal energy is added?
What is the molecules move faster and spread further apart.
200
Which way does thermal energy (heat) ALWAYS move?
What is from the area with more thermal energy (heat) to an area of less thermal energy (heat).
200
This is the major U.S. City Mr. Allen grew up near.
What is Chicago.
300
True or False: Heat is matter.
What is False.
300
When does a roller coaster have 100% Gravitational Potential Energy?
What is when it is at the top of the very first, highest hill.
300
The amount of kinetic energy in an object depends on its _________ and __________.
What is the speed and mass.
300
Why does an bouncing ball eventually stop moving?
What is when the ball falls, it transforms its GPE into KE. When it bounces, it transforms some of its KE into thermal and sound energy, which goes to the air molecules around it and whatever molecules it bounced again. Eventually, it gives all its KE to these other molecules until it has no more KE, which makes it stop moving.
300
This is the state Mr. Allen grew up in.
What is Illinois.
400
Complete this sentence: Atoms and molecules are ________________ to each other.
What is "attracted"
400
Which has more GPE - a ball falling from 4000 feet in the air or a car sitting still on the ground? Explain WHY.
What is the ball.
400
Why do metal bridges have a flexible connection at either end where they connect to the ground?
What is the flexible connection is there to allow the bridge to expand and contract when the bridge's molecules are heated or cooled which makes the molecules move faster/slower, move further apart/get closer together, and make the whole object get bigger or smaller.
400
Why does ice cool down a drink?
What is the drink gives the ice thermal energy because it has more energy than the ice. The ice takes the thermal energy from the drink, which cools it down.
400
This is Mr. Allen's favorite baseball team.
What is The Chicago Cubs.
500
Which has the most space in between the molecules? A solid, a liquid, or a gas?
What is a gas.
500
Which has more GPE - the table near the sink or the table near the front door?
What is neither. Both have the same GPE because they're both the same height above the surface of the Earth.
500
Temperature is really what?
What is a measure of the molecule's kinetic energy.
500
20 degree ice is left in a cooler with 80 degree cans of soda. After an hour, the ice and soda are both 50 degrees. The ice has melted, but the soda is colder. If someone wanted to cool the ice and soda down more, what should be put in the cooler and WHY? More 80 degree cans of soda, more 20 degree ice, or cans of soda that are also 50 degrees?
What is more 20 degree ice.
500
Haha! What is the definition of sound energy?
What is the coordinated movement of molecules.
