Types of Energy
Type of energy that describes the energy stored due to the height of an object above the ground.
Gravitational
Describe kinetic energy.
Kinetic Energy is the energy of motion (of a moving object).
Describe what Energy Transformation means.
Energy Transformation is when one type of energy changes into another type of energy.
Hot coffee is stirred with a spoon, the spoon gets hot due to ________________.
Conduction
Who is the youngest?
Oliver
Type of energy that describes a slingshot that is pulled back and ready to fire.
Elastic
When a ball is rolling down a ramp, where does it have the most kinetic energy?
Describe what Energy Transfer means.
Energy Transfer is when energy moves from one object to another object.
Near the ceiling of a room the air is warmer. The warm air rises because of __________.
Convection
Who is the crankiest?
Arthur
Type of energy that describes x-rays, microwaves, and infrared.
Light
When a ball is rolling down a ramp, where does it have the most potential energy?
At the top of the hill when it has the most stored energy. Highest point.
Describe TWO energy transfers when you are bowling. The type of energy is mechanical.
Person to ball, ball to pins.
A huge rock at the state park gets so hot during the day that you can’t sit on it from ________________.
Radiation
Who has gotten an ear infection every winter?
Daisy
Type of energy that describes food.
Chemical
What are the two factors that impact how much kinetic energy an object has?
Speed and Mass

Convection
Who is the best at playing fetch?
Ellie
Type of energy that describes vibrations through a medium.
Sound
What are the two factors that impact how much gravitational potential energy an object has?
Height off the ground and Mass
A scientist running an experiment notices that the amount of energy they ended with in the system is less than the amount of energy they started with. What happened?
The energy was probably transformed into sound and heat and lost.
One end of a copper rod is placed in a flame of a Bunsen burner. Small pieces of wax placed along the rod melt at progressively larger distances from the flame. Heat is transferred through the rod by ______________.
Conduction
Who is the most dramatic? (for example: screams at the door when we say “go outside?”)
Ellie
