Homework: Using all of the vocabulary below create a comic strip, short story, movie
script, crossword puzzle, vocabulary trading card set, or vocabulary cube set. vocabulary
must be used correctly and underlined.
energy - is the ability to do work
flow – to move or travel smooth in a certain direction
potential energy - stored energy; energy that is waiting to be used
kinetic energy - energy of motion; energy used when something is moving
thermal energy – heat energy
light energy - a type of radiant energy that travels outwardly in straight lines; energy our
eyes can detect
mechanical energy- energy of a motion or movement
electrical energy - energy produced by the movement of electrons that is absorbed or
delivered in an electrical circuit
chemical energy – energy that is stored and released in a chemical reaction
sound energy – Energy produced by vibrations that must have a medium (matter to travel
through)
medium – an intervening substance through which something is achieved
vibrate - rapid movement back and forth
pitch – highness or lowness of sound caused by the speed of vibration
frequency -the number of repetitions in a waveform
