Forces & Energy Voca
Forces & Energy Voc.
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| CMELTS energy | C chemical M mechanical E electrical L light T thermal S sound energy |
| mechanical | energy that comes from the motion of objects |
| electrical | energy that comes from the movement of particles in a circuit |
| thermal | heat energy caused by the movement of particles |
| sound | energy caused by the vibration of matter |
| refract | the bending of light as it passes from one medium to another |
| reflect | the bouncing of light energy |
| transmit | when light energy travels through an object |
| absorb | When light hits a material and is taken in (often converted into heat) rather than passing through or bouncing off. Opaque objects often absorb or reflect light. |
| transparent | Transparent materials let almost all light pass through clearly (like glass, air, clean water, clear plastic). |
| translucent | Translucent materials scatter light, allowing only some to pass through, creating blurry images (like frosted glass, waxed paper, tissue paper, thin fabrics). |
| opaque | Blocks light entirely; no light passes through, and you cannot see through it. Examples: Wood, metal, thick cardboard, rock. |
| lens | A curved piece of glass that bends light as it passes through. |
| prism | A tool used to refract or bend light into the colors of the rainbow. |
| circuit | A path in which electricity travels. |
| battery | The source of energy in a circuit. (BTW) |
| parallel circuit | A type of circuit where if one light bulb goes out, the others can remain lit. |
| series circuit | A type of circuit where if one light bulb goes out, they all go out |
| switch | Part of a circuit that can turn it on (closed switch) and off (open switch). |
| complete | A closed circuit that is working. |
| incomplete | A circuit that is open and not working. |
| gravity | A force that attracts objects to each other. |
| friction | Force caused when two object rub against each other and resist motion. |
| hypothesis | A educated guess |
| variable | The part of the experiment that changes |
| question | The 1st step of the scientific method in which the problem is stated |
| research | The 2nd step of the scientific method, background information is collected |
| conclusion | The final step of the scientific method, results are explained and the hypothesis is stated as right or wrong. |
