| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is known as the ability to do work or cause a change? | Energy |
| What is known as energy in motion and energy stored? | Mechanical Energy |
| What is known as energy in motion to an object? | Kinetic Energy |
| What is energy that is not causing any changes? | Potential Energy |
| What are the two types of potential energies that are known as stored energy and may cause changes later? | Gravitational Energy & Elastic Energy |
| What type of potential energy depends on the Earth’s gravity like a person falling or a car rolling down a hill? | Gravitational Energy |
| What type of potential energy is created from a bent or stretched object like a pole bent or a rubber band stretching? | Elastic Energy |
| In sound energy, what is known as the back-and-forth motion of an object? | Vibrations |
| What kind of energy moves through the air as sound waves? | Sound Energy |
| How fast does sound energy travel in the air? | 330 meters per second |
| What is known as the energy that is all around us and that reflects, bends, or pass through objects? | Light |
| What are the two types of light energies? | Transparent & Translucent |
| What is transparent light? | Light that passes through an object |
| What is translucent light? | Light that can’t go through certain types of materials |
| In what direction does light move in? | In a straight line |
| What is known when light reflects or bounces off an object? | Reflection |
| What is known when light bends into new material in an angle different from 90 degrees? | Refraction |
| Light waves can have very long or very short wavelengths, what is it known as? | Electromagnetic Spectrum |
| Atoms are what to all matter in the universe? | Building Blocks |
| What are the three parts to an atom? | Protons, Electrons, & Neutrons |
| What part of the atom balances the structure of the atom? | Positive (protons) and Negative (electrons) charges always balance each other |
| When positive and negative charges of an object don’t balance, the object is charged and develops? | Static Electricity |
| Moving electrical charges flow from atoms and produce electrical energy that is found in 4 areas, WHAT ARE THEY? | Sound, Light, and Heat Energy |
| Energy cannot be "what" into another form? | Made or destroyed, but changed or transformed |
| Electrical energy change into "what" energy to make light bulbs work? | Light Energy |
| Where do many electric devices get their power from power lines? | Electrical Outlets |
| A material through which an electric charge can move easily is called what? | A Conductor |
| What are four types of conductors are made of that allow electrical to flow easily? | Copper, Gold, Silver, and Aluminum |
| What are strong resistors that can stop most electric currents to place or areas in towns or cities? | Insulators |
| Insulators are mainly made of four types of materials, what are does types of materials called? | Rubber, Plastic, Glass, or Dry cotton |
| WHAT ARE THE 4 TYPES OF RENEWABLE RESOURCES? | WIND ENERGY, SOLAR ENERGY, WATER (HYDRO)ENERGY, & THERMAL (GEOTHERMAL) ENERGY |
