Energy cannot be ____________ or ______________.

created,  destroyed

100

Explain the energy conversion that happens while playing the guitar

___________---->___________---> sound energy

chemical potential energy----->kinetic energy------------>sound energy

100

What is refraction?

The bending of light at the boundary of two mediums

100

What is a prism?  You can draw

A transparent glass or plastic object with smooth, flat sides that can refract light

100
What are the three different ways heat travel?

Conduction, Convection, Radiation

200

What is energy?

The ability to do work

200

Explain the energy conversion that occurs when listening to music from a speaker

____________---->______________

electrical energy----->sound energy

200

Why does refraction occur?

The speed of light changes as it enters a different medium

200

What is dispersion?

The breaking up of white light into different colors

200

What is an example of conduction?

touching something warm,  a pot on a stove heating up, a spoon getting warm over a match....

300

What is the change of energy from one form to another called?

energy conversion

300

Explain the energy transfer that occurs when watching a Youtube video on a computer

______---->_________+__________+__________

electrical energy--->light energy+sound energy+heat energy

300

How is a lens different from a window?

A lens is a carefully molded/made piece of glass or plastic that refracts light on purpose to create a different (distorted) image

300

Why does dispersion occur through a prism?

Different colors travel at different speeds-----> different colors refract (bend) at different angles

300

Why is you hand hotter if you put it on top of a fire instead of next to a fire?

Hot air has a lower density so it rises straight up during the process of convection

400
Where are 3 different places we find chemical potential energy?

ex- candles, wood, batteries, food....

400

Explain the energy conversion that takes place in a battery powered alarm clock when it rings

chemical potential energy------>sound energy

400

Why do swimming pools look shallower (not deep) than they actually are?

Light is being refracted as it moves from one medium (water) to another (air)

400

What is the slowest color?

Violet

400

What is an example of radiation heat transfer?

heat from the sun, sitting next to a fire, a heater in your house....

500

Name 6 different kinds of energy

Light energy, heat energy, sound energy, electrical energy, kinetic energy, potential energy

500

Explain the energy conversion that takes place when someone is singing

chemical potential energy---->kinetic energy---------->sound energy

500

Give 4 examples of objects that use lenses 

magnifying glass, microscope, telescope, camera, eyeglasses, 

500

What is the order of colors we see in a rainbow, from fastest to slowest?

Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet

500

Explain how we can see the three different types of heat transfer while boiling a pot of water over a campfire

Conduction- Pot gets hot from being on the fire

Convection- Air above the fire is hot

Radiation- Air next to fire is hot
