Forms of Energy
The first step in the design process
What is identify the problem?
A path through which electricity flows
What is a circuit?
True or false
Energy is can always be created.
False
Energy is not created or destroyed, only changes form.
When the north end of a magnet pulls to a south end of a magnet
What is attraction?
These are limits of your design
For example materials you can use, cost involved, and time frame for completition
What are constraints?
This can turn off the flow of electrons and break the circuit
What is a switch?
When your muscles move, they transform chemical energy into __________________.
What is kinetic energy?
When magnets push away from each other
What is to repel or repulsion?
A principle or standard by which something may be judged or decided.
What is criteria?
This will slow the flow of electrons in a circuit
(lead pencil)
What is a resistor?
These forms of matter have a definite shape and volume.
What is a solid?
The energy that comes from the sun
What is solar energy?
This means to improve your design
What is iteration
Italian physicist who is credited with inventing the electric battery
Who is Volta?
These forms of matter fill the space they are in and take the shape of the container.
What is a gas?
This is what we call thinking of many different ideas to solve the problem
What is brainstorming?
When power goes through a ______it travels long distances to get to your house.
What is a transformer?
When a candle burns, it produces what kind of energy?
What is heat and light?
(thermal and light)
