| Water Cycle | The water cycle describes how water moves on, above or just below the surface of the Earth. |
| Joules | Energy is measured in Joules |
| Law of Conservation of Energy | The Law of Conservation of Energy tells us that the amount of energy in the universe is always the same, never lost and never created. |
| Energy Transformations | We can describe the changes in energy that occur in situations. |
| Potential Energy | Potential energy is stored energy that is able to be released |
| Gravitational potential energy | Gravitational potential energy is the force of gravity upon an object. It depends on mass and height above ground |
| gravitational potential energy we use the formula: | GPE = m x g x h |
| Kinetic energy | is the energy of motion. It depends on the mass of an object and the speed at which it is moving. KE = ½ x m x v2 |
| Sound Energy CAUSED BY | Sound is caused by back and forth movements called vibrations |
| Heat Energy | Heat is the transfer of kinetic energy from one substance to another or from a heat |
| is heat same as temperature | Heat is NOT the same as temperature, |
| When temperatures of the same substance are the identical, | a larger volume will have more heat energy than a smaller volume. |
| In liquids and gases, heat travels in ...... | In liquids and gases, heat travels via convection, |
| Chemical Energy | ll chemicals contain energy. It is locked in the bonds holding particles together. |
| exothermic | A reaction is called exothermic if it releases energy during a reaction. |
| is exothermic | if it absorbs energy to make the reaction occur, making the surroundings much colder. |
| Electrical energy | orm of potential energy caused by the movement of charged particles, mainly negative electrons. These create an electric field. |
| electric current | is the rate of flow of electric charge |
| Voltage | power supply is a measure of how much energy is available |
| series circuit. | When there is a single, complete loop within a circuit, |
| parallel circuit | when there are multiple paths for an electric charge to flow. |
| ammeter | a device that measures electric current. |
| voltmeter | much energy is transformed by components in a circuit. |
| force | is a push, a pull or a twist. |
| Contact forces: | These forces can occur when one object is touching another |
| Non-contact forces: | These can alter the shape or motion of an object without touching it. |
| Newtons (N), | after Sir Isaac Newton |
| Gravity | s the force of attraction between any two objects, |
| center of gravity | refers to a point where the weight of an object is |
| Mass | refers to the amount of matter that an object is made up of. It can be measured in grams. It does not change if you leave Earth. |

| center of gravity | refers to a point where the weight of an object is evenly spread around it. This is where the gravitational force is at its greatest. |

| atoms. | ll matter is made up of tiny particles called |
| Protons | are found in the nucleus. They have a positive charge and are much heavier than electrons. |

| covalent compound, | When a compound is two or more non-metal atoms, it is a |
| valence shell. | The outermost shell of an atom |
| ions. | The valence shell is “unstable” unless it contains 8 electrons. An atom may gain or lose electrons to achieve this. |
