Term
Definition
Thermal energy   The total kinetic and potential energy of all the particles of an object.  
🗑
Nuclear energy   the potential energy stored in the nucleus of an atom.  
🗑
Energy Transformation   A change from one form of energy to another.  
🗑
Chemical energy   A form of potential energy that is stored in chemical bonds between atoms.  
🗑
Kinetic energy   Energy that an object has due to its motion.  
🗑
Alt energy source   energy such as solar, wind, or nuclear energy, that can replace fossil-fuel sources such as coal, oil, and natural gas.  
🗑
Gravity   The attractive force between objects; the force that moves objects downhill  
🗑
Average speed   The overall rate of speed at which an object moves; calculated by dividing the total distance an object travels by the total time.  
🗑
Balanced forces   Two forces acting in opposite directions.  
🗑
Potential energy   The energy an object has because of its position.  
🗑
Fossil fuels   Coal, oil, or natural gas that forms over millions of years from the remains of ancient organisms; burned to release energy.  
🗑
Conduction   The transfer of thermal energy from one particle of matter to another.  
🗑
Radiation   The transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves.  
🗑
Friction   The force of two surfaces expert on each other when they rub against each other.  
🗑
convection   the transfer of thermal energy by the movement of liquid.  
🗑
Continental Drift   The hypothesis that the continents slowly move across Earth’s surface.  
🗑
Erosion   The process by which water, ice, wind, or gravity moves weathered particles of rock and soil.  
🗑
Organelle   A tiny cell structure that carries out a specific function within the cell.  
🗑
Plant cell   Eukaryota cells, or cells with a membrane-bound nucleus.  
🗑
Animal cell   Eukaryota cells, or cells with a membrane-bound nucleus.  
🗑
Faults   A break in Earth’s crust along which rocks move.  
🗑
Unicellular   A single cell that carries out life.  
🗑
Earthquake   The shaking that results from the movement of rock beneath Earth’s surface.  
🗑
Rock cycle   A series of processes on the surface and inside Earth that slowly changes rocks from one kind to another.  
🗑
Plate tectonics   The theory that pieces of Earth’s lithosphere are in constant motion; driven by convection currents in the mantle.  
🗑
Cell   the smallest unit of life that can replicate independently  
🗑
Mantle   The layer of hot, solid material between Earth’s crust and core.  
🗑
Sedimentary   Rock type that forms when particles from other rocks or the remains of plants and animals are pressed and cemented together.  
🗑
Mitosis   The second stage of the cell cycle during which the cell’s nucleus divides into two new nuclei and one set of DNA is distributed into each daughter cell.  
🗑
Multicellular   Multiple cells that carry out life.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
