The Scientific Method
Jim wants to conduct an experiment to see if light will reflect off different materials. What does Jim have to do before starting his experiment?
What is write a hypothesis?
That type of energy do plants use to make sugar in the photosynthetic process?
Light energy
An apple is an example of this kind of energy.
Chemical energy
This is made at a tannery
What is leather
A light bulb turns this electrical energy into this kind of energy.
light and heat
This is the comparison group in an experiment.
What is the control group?
The sun, a light bulb, and an X-ray all use this type of energy. (Includes all energy on the electromagnetic spectrum)
Radiant energy
This is the type of potential energy found in a compressed spring.
Elastic energy
The galaxy in which our solar system is located
Your body uses this kind of energy from your food and turns it into motion and heat.
Chemical
Jasmine is doing an experiment to find out if plants grow better with rock music, country music, or no music. This is the independent variable in the experiment.
Type of music
This type of energy is caused by vibrations, travels in waves, and is sensed by us through our ears.
Sound
This is the energy of motion.
Kinetic energy
Acorns come from this type of tree.
What is oak
A windmill turns wind into this type of energy.
Electrical
The variable that changes as a result of a change being made in an experiment. The variable being tested.
Dependent variable
A thermometer measures this kind of energy.
Thermal energy
Sound and light energy are alike in that they both produce this.
Waves
The term for a word or phrase which is spelled the same forwards or Backwards
What is a palindrome
A toaster turns this kind of energy into this kind of energy.
Electrical energy into thermal energy
An educated guess as to what will happen during your experiment, is often written using the words "IF" and "THEN."
Hypothesis
If you imagine a drop of water about to fall down a waterfall, at the top of the waterfall the drop of water has this kind of energy.
Gravitational potential energy
This is stored energy.
What is potential energy?
This word often follows blood, mandarin, and agent.
What is orange?
This kind of energy is given off in every energy transfer.
Thermal
