Grade 5: Energy Forms

100

Energy that is in motion

Kinetic energy

200

If a skateboarder was at the top of a ramp, they would have this of energy

Potential energy

300

Your body turns fuel into this kind of energy when it is digested

Chemical energy

400

Your smartphone battery charging is getting this form of energy

Electricity or electrical energy

500

This type of energy is created when atoms begin moving faster

Thermal energy

Grade 5: Energy Sources

100

Energy that is formed from moving air

Wind energy

200

Energy that is formed from the sun

Solar energy

300

Energy that comes from the power of falling water

Hydro energy

400

Energy that comes from burning coal, oil, or natural gas

Fossil fuels

500

Energy that is formed from splitting apart uranium atoms

Nuclear energy

Grade 5: Conserving Energy

100

The most common greenhouse gas

Carbon dioxide

200

Fossil fuels, oil, coal, and natural gas are examples of this

Non-renewable energy

300

Hydropower and biomass are examples of this

Renewable energy

400

The substance burned by cars to make fuel

Gasoline

500

This is one of the leading causes of air pollution

Cars or factories

Grade 5: Energy

100

the energy that is used by electronics 

Electrical Energy

200

is the energy that is produced through vibrations 

Sound Energy

300

What is the main type of energy used when a pulley moves an object?

Mechanical Energy

400

The energy that keeps us from floating in the air

Gravitational Energy

500

According to the law of conservation of energy, in theory, a bouncy ball should never stop bouncing. However, we know that it eventually stops. Where does the energy go?

1. Some gets converted into sound energy and escapes into the surroundings.
2. Some gets converted into thermal energy and escapes into the surroundings.
3. Both A and B are correct.

Both A and B are correct

Energy Review

100

the ability to make things move or do work

Energy

200

What does it mean when it says energy forms?

What it is 

Physical State

300

What does it mean by Energy Sources?

Where it comes from

Systems that store or provide energy

400

Energy is not in everything.

1. True
2. False

False -  Law of Conservation of Energy, which states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.

500

At what point in a waterfall do the drops of water contain the most gravitational potential energy?

1. At the top before they start falling
2. When they first begin moving
3. When they are halfway to the bottom
4. When they reach the bottom of the fall

At the top before they start falling - the higher an object is, the more Gravitational potential energy it has.
