Energy that the eye sees. An example would be the light from the TV when you turn it on, fireworks or a light bulb
What is light energy
200
Type of rock that forms when heat and pressure is applied.
What is Metamorphic Rock
200
Give an example of a renewable resource.
What is wind, water, solar, trees. Any resource that can be replaced.
200
Name the different characteristics scientists use to classify minerals.
What is Hardness, Luster, Colour, Streak, Transparency.
200
What energy transformations occur when you turn on your computer.
What is electric energy transforms to light and sound energy.
300
Energy that moves. For example, throwing a baseball or pushing a snowball.
What is Mechanical Energy or Kinetic Energy.
300
Type of rock that is formed through weathering and erosion. These rocks are formed on top of existing rocks. sediments. Layers of these materials are deposited in the bottom of rivers, lakes and oceans. Over time these rocks are pushed together to form rocks.
What is sedimentary.
300
A natural resource that will eventually run out.
What is a non-renewable resource.
300
These are composed of the same substance throughout. They would look the same throughout if you cut into them. There are 3000 kinds in the world.
What is a mineral.
300
What energy transformation occur when you fill up a car with gasoline?
What is Chemical energy is stored in the gasoline. When the gasoline is burned by the car's engine, gasoline's chemical energy is transformed to heat energy, which is transformed to mechanical energy. This allows the car to fulfill its main function-to move.
400
Moving particles that make up mater. As the particles move faster, the substance becomes hotter.
What is Heat Energy
400
What are rocks made up of?
What is two or more minerals.
400
Give an example of a resource that will eventually run out.
What is Oil, Coal, Fossil Fuels any resource that cannot be replaced.
400
This is the hardest mineral. Often used at the end of a drill or on the edge of a saw that is used to cut or drill through something very hard.
What is diamond

What energy transformations occur when you eat an apple?
What is chemical energy is stored in your body. This energy is realised as heat and kinetic energy as you digest your food and function throughout the day.
500
Stored energy that is released in a chemical reaction. Example, food, fuel or cars and batteries.
What is chemical Energy
