Energy
The ability to cause changes in matter
Energy
Particles with a positive charge
Proton
A material that resists the flow of electric charges
Insulator
Energy that is carried as waves in a vibrating manner
Sound Energy
When matter changes, but does not affect the type of matter.
Physical Change
The energy an object has because of its position or condition
Potential Energy
Particles with a negative charge
Electron
A material that readily allows electric charges to pass though it
Conductor
Energy caused by the movement of electric charges
Electrical Energy
The part of an experiment that is change on purpose
Independent Variable
The energy an object has because of its motion
Kinetic Energy
Particles with no charge
Neutron
The path along which electric charges can flow
Circuit
When light energy bounces of an object
Reflect
This type of change results in a change in the identity of the matter.
Chemical Change
How hot or cold an object is
Thermal or Heat Energy
What will happen when when two particles with the same charge meet?
They will repel
When a circuit is not complete, it is called an ________ circuit.
Open
Energy that is stored in matter and that can be released by a chemical reaction
Chemical Energy
What is being measures in an experiment
Dependent Variable
Energy that travels in waves and can be seen
Light Energy
The type of electricity that results from the buildup of electric charges on an object
Static Electricity
A circuit with several different paths for the charges to follow
Parallel Circuit
When light energy enters different materials at an angle (such as traveling through water)
Refract
Things that are held constant during an experiment to make sure it is fair and valid
Controlled Variables
