Types of Energy
makes it possible for us to see
Light energy
Name one type of energy used by a flashlight
Light, electrical, chemical
Kinetic energy is stored energy in an object
False
What was the Pendulum lab testing?
How the amount of washers (or weight) on a pendulum affects how long it swings
Is knowing how to tie your shoes an example of a learned or inherited behavior?
Learned
energy stored in an object
potential energy
Name one type of energy used by a toaster
Heat, mechanical, electrical
Chemical energy is a form of potential energy
Yes, because it is energy stored between particles of matter (stored energy)
When did your pendulum have the most amount of potential energy?
When it was being held up before being dropped
True or False:
Melting is a chemical change
False, it is a physical change
energy that explains the temperature of things
heat energy (or thermal)
_________ energy turns into _________ energy when I eat an apple and then ride my bike
Chemical, mechanical/motion/kinetic
Sound energy tells us the temperature of an object
False
When did your pendulum have the most kinetic energy?
When it was released and swung down, before it stopped moving
Sun --> Algae --> Sardines --> Tuna --> Great White Shark
Which organism is the producer?
The algae
the sum of potential and kinetic energy
mechanical energy
_________ energy turns into __________ energy when I plug a lamp cord into the socket and the light turns on
Electrical, Light
True, because if something is hot, it's particles are moving very fast (movement = kinetic)
Does a full or empty water bottle have more potential energy?
Full
Which of these is a chemical change?
Freezing, rusting, or tearing
Rusting
gives things power to work
electrical energy (electricity, electric)
_________ energy turns into ________ energy when a plant uses the Sun to perform photosynthesis and grow
Light, chemical
Energy is lost when I roll a ball and it comes to a stop
False, the energy just transfers to a different form (ex: kinetic to potential)
When did your water bottle have the most potential energy? (Tell me what type of ramp and what fullness of water bottle)
Full water bottle on the 3 book ramp
Sun --> Algae --> Sardines --> Tuna --> Great White Shark
Which organism is the primary consumer?
The sardines
