|
Chemical Potential Energy
A chemical reaction releases this type of energy
|
Energy is neither created nor destroyed, it only changes form
What is the Law of Conservation of Energy?
|
|
A possible explanation for an observation that can be tested by scientific investigations.
What is a hypothesis?
|
The ability to cause change or the ability to do work
What is Energy?
|
Kinetic energy
Gravitational Potential Energy
When a box is lifted up off the ground list two types of energy that increased.

What are the two main factors that effect gravitational potential energy?
|
a force that resists the sliding of two surfaces that are touching
What is friction
|
|
A summary of the information gained during the experiment from testing the hypothesis
What is a Conclusion?
|
The transfer of energy that occurs when a force is applied over a distance.
It is transferring energy
What is work and how is it related to energy?
|
Thermal Energy: energy due to the motion of particles that make up an object
Friction always transforms energy into what type of energy? Define this type of energy
|
Speed
Weight/Mass
What are the two main factors that determine the amount of kinetic energy?
|
Sound energy is energy that sound carries
Radiant energy is energy carried by electromagnetic waves Radiant energy can travel through space
What are sound energy and radiant energy? Which one can travel through space?
|
|
Design an experiment, make a model, observe, research and analyze, etc.
Name at least 3 different ways to test an experiment
|
A theory tries to explain why something occurs while a scientific law states that something will occur under certain circumstances
Explain the difference between a scientific theory and a scientific law
|
The microwave is powered by electric energy that it transforms into radiant energy which produces thermal energy in the popcorn kernel causing it to change into popcorn
What are three types of energy involved in making popcorn in the microwave
|
Gravitational, Elastic, Chemical
Name 3 types of potential energy
|
Nuclear energy is energy in the nucleus of an atom while chemical energy is energy in the bonds between atoms.
What is the difference between nuclear energy and chemical energy?
|
|
Be curious/ask questions, make inferences/hypothesis/predictions, test hypothesis, analyze results, draw conclusions, publish results
List the steps of the scientific method
|
Energy that cannot be used which is most often thermal energy because every time energy changes form some thermal energy is always released.
Define Waste Energy and what form of energy it most often takes
|
electric
radiant and thermal
When a light is turned on it is powered by ____________ energy and produces _________ and ___________ energy.
|
It changes form
What happens when energy is used?
|
It uses chemical energy it transformed from chemical potential energy
