100
What would be the purpose of having a bush in the desert?
To provide energy for any animal that consumes a producer.
200
Absorbtion
When light is absorbed by another object and stops it from passing through
200
What type of materials reflect light energy?
What type of materials refract light energy?
Reflect- Shiny materials
Refract- transparent materials
200
Draw a picture of a Parallel circuit.
200
What type of energy does electrical energy turn into to use a TV. Give examples for each.
Electrical energy turns into light and sound energy.
light- the screen produces
sound- the speaker makes noise
200

The bending of light rays as they move from one material into another material.
400
What happens to the light when you shine it at a prism
A prism separates light by refracting the colors at different angles.
400
Why does the 2nd light bulb not glow?
The light bulb is not part of the closed circuit.
400
True or False
Electrical energy can only transfer into one other form of energy at a time.
FALSE
Example: A blow dryer transfers electrical energy into thermal energy and mechanical/motion energy
400
The amount of mass in a known volume of an object or substance
Density
500
Conductor
Anything that allows the flow of electrical energy
ex. Wires, foil, penny
500
If you shine a light from position E where would it reflect off of and Why? 
Position A because light travels in a straight line until it is int his case reflected. The angle of incident will be the same as the angle of reflection.
500
What will happen if the switch is open on the following parallel circuit?

Solution- 2 or more substances mixted together, 1 must be a liquid, not easily seperated, properties change
Mixture- 2 or more substances mixed together, easily seperated, properties do not change
