Vocabulary 1
a proposed answer to a question about the natural world
What is a claim?
the energy that an object has because it is moving
What is kinetic energy?
Explain what happened during our first experiment with the alligator cords, the batteries, generators, and fans
What is:
-the battery provided energy that transferred through the alligator cords, that were connected to the generator, which was connected to the fan or solar panel, and the energy was converted and transferred into either electrical or light energy
True or False: Both living and nonliving things can have energy..
What is true?

Name and describe the 2 types of Energy Inventions that we read about in Chapter 1, "Energy Inventions"
a. Little Sun Lamp- many people throughout the world live in energy poverty. Many students and families have a hard time cooking, cleaning, and studying at night time because of lack of electricity. The Little Sun Lamp gathers energy from the sun through a solar panel, stores it in a battery, and is able to be used during the night time.
b. Hollow Flashlight- uses the heat from someone's hand touching heat tiles on the flashlight. That energy is transferred into light energy. It does not need batteries.
List 2 disadvantages using the Hollow Flashlight
What are: (answers may vary)

What are...
a. Scientific law
b. Data from research lab
c. Energy producing company
d. business owner in energy harvesting business
