        Help!  

Question
Answer
Energy   ability to do work or cause change  
🗑
Thermal energy   Energy that comes from heat. It is produced by the Sun and is needed for life on Earth.  
🗑
flow   the transfer of energy  
🗑
refraction   Bending of light. When light hits and travels through a different medium, the light is bent.  
🗑
Light spectrum   the range of electromagnetic wavelengths that our eyes can see (ROYGBIV)  
🗑
Mechanical energy   the energy an object has due to its position or motion. "Movement" and can be used for things such as turning a wheel, peddling a bike, raising a flag, etc.  
🗑
Electrical circuit   the path an electric current takes  
🗑
Electrical current   The continuous flow of electricity through a conductor  
🗑
Lens   A piece of glass or other transparent material that lets light pass through it  
🗑
Magnify   To make something appear larger than it is with a lens or microscope  
🗑
Light energy   Energy that people can see. Can be produced by the Sun, fire, batteries or the result of a complete electrical circuit  
🗑
Electromagnetism   Magnetism produced by an electric current  
🗑
Mirror   A surface that reflects light.  
🗑
Kaleidoscope   A tube-shaped toy that is rotated to produce designs with reflected light using bits of colored glass at one end of the tube.  
🗑
Sound energy   A form of energy where vibrations travel through solids, liquids and gases and are detected by the organs of hearing.  
🗑
Conductor   A material through which electricity flows  
🗑
Laser   A device that produces an intense beam of light.  
🗑
Telescope   An instrument for viewing distant objects by refracting light rays through a lens  
🗑
Insulator   Material that slows down or stops electric current or heat from flowing  
🗑
Reflection   Light bouncing off of an object. When light hits a surface and bounces back.  
🗑
Illuminate   To brighten with light  
🗑
Electrical energy   Can be achieved through the creation of a complete circuit. This can be seen when anything is plugged into an electric circuit. We depend on this type of energy to power lights, appliances, and some cars.  
🗑
