100
The ability to do work or make something happen.
What is energy?
100
Information that is gathered during an experiment.
What is data?
100
Formulated by Sir Isaac Newton, they describe how objects move in relation to forces acting on them.
What are the Laws of Motion?
100
The amount of matter an object has.
What is mass?
100
A detailed drawing that shows how something is designed.
What is a blueprint?
200
Energy associated with motion.
What is kinetic energy?
200
A prediction about how something works or how two variables are related.
What is a hypothesis?
200
A push or a pull.
What is force?
200
The middle value of a number of measurements.
What is the median?
200
A set pattern, form, or mold.
What is a template?
300
Stored energy that can be released to become other forms of energy.
What is potential energy?
300
To study something by breaking it down into simpler parts.
What is analyze?
300
Resists movement between two objects that are touching.
What is friction?
300
A measurement of the force of gravity on an object.
What is weight?
300
An original model or design.
What is a prototype?
400
This is where the energy was stored when we wrapped it around our vehicle's axle and wound it up.
What is the rubber band?
400
An element in an experiment that can be changed.
What is a variable?
400
Able to move through the air easily.
What is aerodynamic?
400
The mathematical average of a number of measurements.
What is the mean?
400
3 things that make motion go faster.
What are (choose 3): Reducing the friction, adding tires, removing load, increase the force, change the design of the vehicle.
500
This changes the energy of motion into the energy of heat (for example, when we released our vehicles after winding them up).
What is friction?
500
An experiment where one variable is changed and all the others are kept the same.
What is a controlled experiment?
500
The force of friction on a vehicle as it moves through the air.
What is air resistance?
500
The value that occurs most often in a series of measurements.
What is mode?
500
3 things that make motion go slower.
What are (choose 3): Increase friction, remove tires, decrease force, add load, change design of vehicle.
