What is Technology? | Satisfies human needs and wants. |
What is Energy? | The ability to do work |
What is Renewable Energy? | Human and animal muscle power |
What is Biomass Energy? | Energy produced from organic substances (Ex. Trees, Wood Chips, Animal Waste, Sewage Plant) |
What is Limited Energy? | Energy that doesn't last forever (Ex. Coal, Petroleum, Nuclear Energy) |
What is Unlimited Energy? | Energy with no limit (Ex. Solar Energy, Wind, Gravity, Geothermal- Energy from below the surface, wave, and tidal) |
What are 4 Types of Energy? | -Potential -Stored -Kinetic -Energy in Motion |
Sources of Energy- What is Solar? | Energy from the sun |
Sources of Energy-What is Gravitational? | Hydroelectric systems make use of the energy in running water to create electricity |
Sources of Energy-What is Geothermal? | Heat from beneath the Earth's Crust |
Sources of Energy-What is Chemical? | Energy from chemical reactions |
Sources of Energy-What is Nuclear? | Uranium atoms split, producing energy that is converted into heat fission, the heat then boils water creating steam. The steam turns a Turbine which spins the shaft of a generator. The generator coil spins and produces magnetic fluid and electricity. |
What are the 6 Problem solving steps in the cycle? | 1. Identify and define the problem 2. Set goals 3. Generate possible solutions and alternative 4. Develop chosen solution 5. Testing and monitoring 6. Is the solution optimal? |
What are the brainstorming tips? | -Get as many ideas as possible -There are no wrong ideas -There is no criticism of any ideas |
What are the 6 simple machines? | -Lever -Inclined Plane -Wedge -Screw -Pulley -Wheel & Axle |
Processing Materials-What is the purpose of Science? | Why something happens |
Processing Materials-What is the purpose of Engineering? | Turning science into something new |
Processing Materials-What is the purpose of Technology? | Making things useful |
Technological Eras- Agriculture Based Society | People lived off the land |
Technological Eras-Industrial Based Society | Industrial Revolution began. Factory system evolved |
Technological Eras-Information Based Society | Many inventions are based on electronics and computers |
Technological Eras-Exponential Growth of Technology | Technology is growing faster today than ever before. Tomorrow it will be even faster than today. |
Where does Electricity come from? | Power plants, Batteries, Wind, Turbines, Generators, Solar Power |
How do you control Electricity? | Plugs, Switches, Fuses, Circuit breakers, Wires, Plastic |
What is an Insulator? | A material whose atoms hold their outer electrons tightly. Resisting the flow of electrical currents through the material |
What are examples of an Insulator? | Wood, Rubber, Glass |
What is a Conductor? | A material whose atoms easily give up their outer electrons. Letting an electrical current flow easily through the material. |
What are examples of Conductors? | Metal, (Copper, Aluminum, Steel) Gold (Gold is best) |
What is AC? | AC is Alternating Current. The flow of electric charge the periodically reverses |
What are some examples of AC? | Light Bulb, House Power |
What is DC? | DC is Direct Current. A movement of electric charge in one direction only. |
What is an example of DC? | Batteries |
