This man proved that lightning is a form of electricity:

What gives everything the ability to move or stay in motion?
Energy
To conduct electricity, you need this material
Metal
True or False: A power outage is only considered a blackout if the entire city loses power
False: Partial blackouts occur in small areas such as neighborhoods
Name four types of energy
Chemical, thermal, light, electrical, nuclear, solar....
True or False: One form of energy can be converted into two or more types of energy at once
True: example. chemical energy we eat is turned to thermal energy and motion energy in out bodies
True or False: Kinetic energy is always stronger than potential energy
False, kinetic energy will never reach its "potential" energy
Name three ways humans convert energy into electricity:
Windmills, Dams, Fossil Fuels, Nuclear, Solar,....
What is the difference between kinetic and potential energy?
Potential energy is how much energy can possibly be in something, kinetic energy is how much is actually released
Give me an example of an energy conversion, (must be specific, what type converted to what type)
Examples: Hydroenergy(water) converting to electric energy with a dam.
Water/air makes these spin in order to create energy:
Turbines
Why are large dams considered controversial among some people?
They can destroy ecosystems, it is humans changing nature
