Forms of Energy
This form of energy comes from the sun and travels in waves.
What is radiant energy?
Used to measure the mass of an object precisely.
What is an electronic scale?
The first step in the Engineering Design Process.
What is frame.
The movement of heat through direct contact.
What is conduction?
The variable that is changed by the experimenter.
What is the independent variable?
The energy stored in the bonds of atoms and molecules.
What is chemical energy?
Measures temperature in a science lab.
What is a temperature probe or thermometer?
This step involves thinking of many possible solutions.
What is "Brainstorm"?
Heat transfer through fluids (liquids or gases) using currents.
What is convection?
The variable that is measured or observed.
What is the dependent variable?
This energy is related to the movement of electrons.
What is electrical energy?
This curved surface of a liquid is read at eye level.
What is a meniscus?
Step where you put your plan into action.
What is "Create"?
Transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves.
What is radiation?
Variables that must be kept the same in an experiment.
What are constants?
This type of energy involves moving objects.
What is kinetic energy?
Measures volume accurately using milliliters.
What is a graduated cylinder?
You check if your solution works during this step.
What is "Test"?
The rule that states energy cannot be created or destroyed.
What is the Law of Conservation of Energy?
A precise tool to measure the effect of an experiment.
What is a graduated cylinder or electronic balance?
Energy stored in an object's position or height.
What is potential energy?
Transfers heat without touching the source directly.
What is a heat lamp?
The final step where you discuss and improve the solution.
What is "Evaluate"?
The type of energy transfer from a campfire to your hands.
What is radiant energy?
Example of a good hypothesis format.
What is: "If [independent variable], then [dependent variable]"?
