The car is driving north at 60 miles an hour. This is a description of...
What is motion?
100
This describes how fast an object is moving.
What is speed?
100
This energy is the result of the flow of electrons.
What is electrical energy?
100
When one substance is dissolved into another (like in lemonade).
What is a solution?
100
Rubber, plastic and paper are examples of these materials that electricity does not pass through easily.
What are insulators?
200
A push or a pull
What is a force?
200
This is a way to describe an object's location relative to another object or the background.
What is position?
200
This energy is the result of moving particles. We feel it as the hotness or coldness of a substance.
What is thermal energy?
200
This is a pure substance with only one type of atom.
What is an element?
200
Metal is the best example of this type of material that allows electricity to flow easily.
What is a conductor?
300
This is the unit used to measure the amount of force.
What is a newton?
300
This is the energy of a moving object.
What is kinetic energy?
300
This type of energy travels in transverse waves.
What is radiant or light energy?
300
These are the building blocks of matter.
What are atoms?
300
This type of circuit has different paths for electricity to flow through.
What is a parallel circuit?
400
This is the force that keeps resting objects from moving and slows motion.
What is friction?
400
This is the energy of an object at rest.
What is potential energy?
400
This type of energy is created by the motion of moving objects.
What is mechanical energy (or sound energy)?
400
These two parts of an atom can be found in the nucleus.
What are protons and neutrons?
400
This type of circuit has all the components lined up in a row. It only has one path for electricity to flow through.
What is a series circuit?
500
This is the amount of matter in an object.
What is mass?
500
A skier going down a hill has this type of energy.
What is kinetic energy?
500
This type of electrical energy is caused by the buildup of electrons on the surface of a material.
What is static electricity?
500
This is a molecult composed of more than one type of atom.
What is a compound?
500
This is the part of the atom whose movement generates electricity.
What is an electron?
