Energetic Connection
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| kinetic energy | energy of motion |
| potential energy | stored energy that results from the position or shape of an object |
| reasoning | ties what we already know about the concept to the claim and evidence |
| force | a push or pull exerted on an object in order to change the motion of the object; force has size and direction |
| motion | a change in an object's position |
| variables | factors that can be changed in an experiment |
| balance | a tool used to find the mass of an object |
| gram | a metric unit of measurement used for determining the mass of an object |
| newton | a metric unit used for measuring force |
| spring scale | a tool used to measure the force on an object |
| weight | the force of gravity acting on an object |
| mass | The amount of matter in a substance. |
| conservation of energy | The scientific law that states that energy can never be created or destroyed, only converted into different forms. |
| atom | The smallest part of an element. |
| convection | The heat energy moving from one place to another due to the motion of the warm and cold masses of fluid. |
| heat transfer | The transfer of heat from warmer objects to colder objects due to the motion of molecules. |
| heat energy | The energy associated with the difference in the temperatures between objects. |
| energy transfer | The transfer of the energy of heat and/or motion form one object or system to another. |
| conduction | Transfer of energy through the motion and collision of particles from one substance to another. |
| magnetic potential energy | The form of energy related to the distance between magnetic materials. |
| gravitational potential energy | The potential energy an object has due to its separation or height above the Earth. |
| elastic potential energy | The form of energy an object has when its shape is changed through stretching, compressing, twisting, and bending. |
| data | Observations and facts about concepts that can be used to calculate, reason, and draw conclusions. |
| claim | A clear and concise statement that tells what is learned or concluded from an investigation. |
| evidence | What a person observes, reads, or does, that strengthens a belief that something is true. |
| energy | The ability to do work or cause change. |
