Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
ability to do work or cause a change   energy  
🗑
energy due to motion   kinetic energy  
🗑
energy that is not causing any changes now, but could cause changes in the future.   Potential Energy  
🗑
energy that travels through space in the form of light and other types of energy.   electromagnetic radiation  
🗑
the total of all the kinetic and potential energy of the atoms in an object.   thermal energy  
🗑
transfer of thermal energy between objects that are in contact.   conduction  
🗑
the movement of warm liquids or gases to cooler areas.   convection  
🗑
three ways that heat moves   conduction, convection and radiation  
🗑
movement of energy by electromagnetic waves   radiation  
🗑
bends light light rays to make objects look larger. Thickest in the middle.   convex lens  
🗑
thinner in the middle than the edges, It can bend light rays to make an object look smaller.   concave lens  
🗑
bouncing of light or wave from a surface. ex: mirror...light still moves in a straight line.   refelction  
🗑
bending of light or waves as it passes from one material to another. ex: when light enters a prism   refraction  
🗑
sound moves slowest through what materials   areas of dry and cool air.  
🗑
sound waves move fastest through what materials   through hot substances  
🗑
what happens when sound waves in air hit a surface such as a wall or cliff?   some of the waves bounce or reflect back = echo  
🗑
sound is a wave of vibrations that spreads from its source.   sound energy  
🗑
how do sound waves travel   crests and frequency  
🗑
sound is measured through what?   decibels  
🗑
When an object has its greatest potential energy?   stretched rubber band, match box cars positioned on a track, hanging metal ball.  
🗑
When is nuclear energy released?   when a proton is knocked out of an atoms nucleus.  
🗑


   

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.
