What is decrease?
200
The type of energy that depends on mass and position.
What is potential energy?
200
Name the three ways thermal energy can move.
What is radiation, conduction, and convection?
200
An energy source that is replenished continually.
(Give me the vocabulary word, not an example)
What is a renewable resource?
200
Give an example of an inexhaustible resource.
What is wind, solar, tidal, etc.?
200
Stretching out a rubber band increases its _______ potential energy.
What is elastic?
300
The type of energy that depends on the flow of electrons.
What is electrical energy?
300
This is happening to the total amount of disorganized energy in the universe.
What is increasing?
300
An energy source that can be used faster than it can be replaced. (Give me the vocabulary term, not an example.)
What is a nonrenewable resource?

Explain hydroelectric energy and give one advantage and one disadvantage.
Hydroelectric energy is using the kinetic energy of water and turning it into electrical energy. One advantage is that it does not pollute. One disadvantage is that it disrupts some aquatic life, like salmon.
300
Where coal comes from.
What is the molecules of ancient plants?
400
The type of energy that depends on the speed of molecules.
What is thermal energy?
400
The four forms of energy present in a flashlight that is turned on.
What is chemical, electrical, thermal, and radiant?
400
State the Law of Conservation of Energy.
What is energy can never be created or destroyed, only transformed or transferred?
400
Explain nuclear energy and give one advantage and one disadvantage
The atoms of a radioactive material are split and heat is released to boil water. The boiling water creates steam. The steam turns a turbine and the turbine turns a generator, which produces electrical energy. One advantage is that it does not pollute the air. One disadvantage is that is makes radioactive waste.
400
Geothermal energy comes from ________.
What is inside the earth?
500
The type of energy stored in bonds.
What is chemical energy?
500
In order, list the five forms of energy transformations present in a coal burning power plant.
What is chemical, thermal, kinetic, kinetic, and electrical?
500
Name the seven types of energy mentioned in Chapter 14 and give an example of each
What is potential, kinetic, thermal, radiant, nuclear, chemical, and electrical energy?
500
Wind energy, fossil fuel energy, nuclear energy, geothermal energy, hydroelectric energy and solar energy all are used to make electricity. Solar energy is different from the rest. What do all of the other energy sources do that solar energy does not?
What is use kinetic energy to produce electricity?
500
The specific name of the device that transforms radiant energy directly into electrical energy. (Another name for a solar panel)
