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

Term
Definition
energy   the ability to cause changes in matter  
🗑
Law of Conservation of Energy   law that states that the total amount of energy in a system is always the same....energy can't be created or destroyed  
🗑
kinetic energy   the energy of motion....the ability to extract a force on matter that comes into contact with it  
🗑
potential energy   stored energy....energy that is due to the position or condition of an object  
🗑
thermal energy   heat energy...kinetic energy of the moving particles of a substance or object  
🗑
heat   thermal energy that is transferred  
🗑
conduction   energy is passed on due to the collision of particles  
🗑
convection   when a liquid or gas is heated up, it expands, and its density decreases....hot materials rise over cool ones  
🗑
radiation   transfer of energy in waves...thermal is a type  
🗑
Iron, Cobalt, and Nickel   substances in which magnetism can occur  
🗑
domain   a small group of atoms  
🗑
magnet   all of the domains of a substance align in the same direction  
🗑
electricity   the interaction of electric charges...the moving of electrons  
🗑
electric energy   the movement of energy from one place to another...the moving of electrons  
🗑
electric circuits   enable electric currents to travel....must be continuous with no gaps  
🗑
static electricity   charges that are present, but don't flow form one place to another  
🗑
current electricity   the flow of electric charge  
🗑
series circuit   the wires all go in one direction hopping from one resistor to another  
🗑
parallel circuit   the electrons have different paths of wires and don't have to go in one set order  
🗑
electromagnet   a magnet ran by electricity that can be turned on and off  
🗑
chemical energy   a form of potential energy stored in reactants  
🗑
fission   atoms fall apart....some energy is given off (power plants and bombs)  
🗑
fusion   putting atoms together....lots of energy is given off (Sun and big bombs)  
🗑
boiling point of water   212 f or 100 c  
🗑
melting point of water   32 f or 0 c  
🗑


   

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.
