What does KE Stand for?

Kinetic energy

100

Draw a symbol for a fast-moving particle

 O)))      O)))

100

draw examples of all three states of matter with particles!

Solid:  O)O)O)O)

Liquid: O))  O))  O))  O))

Gas: O)))               O)))                     O)))

100

What does a does a chemical reaction need to occur?

reactants or energy

100

What is Ms. Poulin's classroom themed after?

Star wars

200

Explain what potential energy is.

Potential energy is the energy due to the distance between particles.

200

Draw particles with high potential energy.

O))              O))              O))

            O))                                 O))

200

What state of matter holds a constant shape.

Solid

200

What is the difference between a chemical change and a physical change?

Physical change usually reversable and no new substance is created ex) chopping wood.

Chemical change is non-reversable, and a new substance is created.  Ex) burning wood

200

What was Ms. Cortez's hair color before it was dyed?

Black

300

What is the equation for thermal energy?

TE= KE + PE

300

Describe particle motion of a solid.

Particles vibrate in place and are close together.

300

What is the phase change called going from gas to liquid?

Condensation

300

What is the law of conservation of mass?

Total mass before the reaction is the same total mass after the reaction.

*Mass is not created, nor destroyed just recycled

300

What is Mr. Harris widely known for?

His dad jokes (sometimes on his shirts)

400
What type of energy does temperature measure

 kinetic energy (how fast particles are moving)

400

Explain how kinetic and potential energy change when you add heat.

Kinetic and potential energy increase when you add heat.

400

When you increase temperature of a gas what happens to the volume?

Volume increases. 
400

What is an exothermic reaction?

Exothermic reaction releases more energy than is used to break bonds

400

What classroom number has two science teachers?

Room 62

500

What is the law of conservation of energy?

Energy is not created nor destroyed just transferred

500

Why can gasses be easily compressed while solids and liquids cannot?

Gasses have particles that are far apart whereas solids and liquids have particles close together. 


You need room to squeeze and compress particles together.

500

What is the difference between boiling and evaporation?

boiling takes place throughout the liquid, turning liquid to gas

Evaporation occurs at the surface of the liquid, turning liquid to gas

500

An ice pack on a sore ankle is what type of reaction?

Endothermic reaction

Energy is absorbed

What teacher is no longer a science teacher but used to teach science here at Wawona?
