Types of Energy BLACKOUT
Name:Key
1.) What is energy?
Describe where
energy can be found.
Energy is the ability
to do work or cause
change to happen.
Energy can be found
everywherewhether potential or
kinetic.
2.) What is kinetic
energy? Give/draw one
example.
4.) What is electrical
energy? Give/draw
one example.
Electrical energy is
where electrical
charges (excited
electrons) move
through wires and
other conductors.
An example of
electrical energy is a
wall socket.
5.) What is light
energy? Give/draw
one example.
Light energy is
moving photons or
electromagnetic
energy that we can
see. An example
would be the sun’s
light.
8.) What is chemical
potential energy?
Give/draw one
example.
Chemical potential
energy is energy that
is stored in chemical
bonds between
atoms. One
example would be in
the food that we eat.
9.) What is nuclear
energy? Give/draw
one example.
Nuclear energy is
energy found in the
center or nucleus of
an atom. It is
released when we
split the nuclei of
atoms or fuse the
nuclei of atoms. An
example would be a
nuclear power plant.
12.)Describe what the
Law of Conservation
of Energy states.
The Law of
Conservation of
Energy states that
energy cannot be
created or
destroyed. The
energy transforms
from one form to
another. The
amount of energy
you started with is
13.)Explain an example
of L.O.C.O.E. that
we can find in the
world around us.
An example of the
L.O.C.O.E is when a
bowling ball hits
pins and slows
down. The energy is
still present, just
changed. No energy
is created or
destroyed.
Kinetic energy is energy
that is moving energy or
energy that is being
used. An example
would be a person
running.
2.) What is thermal
energy? Give/draw
one example.
Thermal energy is
the movement of
particles that creates
heat. An example of
thermal energy is
rubbing your hands
together.
6.) What is mechanical
energy? Give/draw
one example.
Mechanical energy
is the movement
from one place to
another due to
motion or the
position of an object
due to motion. An
example would be a
bus moving from
stop to stop.
10.) What is
gravitational
potential energy?
Give/draw one
example.
Gravitational
potential energy is
energy due to an
object’s position
above the Earth’s
surface and its
potential to be
pulled by gravity.
An example would
be raindrops.
14.) What happens to
energy if it is neither
created or
destroyed?
Energy is changed
from one form to
another.
3.) What is sound
energy? Give/draw
one example.
Sound energy is
kinetic energy as
vibrations travel
through air and
other objects in the
form of a
compressional wave.
An example of
sound energy is a
microphone.
7.) What is potential
energy? Give/draw
one example.
Potential energy is
stored energy or
energy that has not
been used yet. An
example would be
an acorn hanging
from a tree.
11.) What is elastic
potential energy?
Give/draw one
example.
Elastic potential
energy is the energy
due to stretching or
compression of an
object. An example
is a bow that is
stretched and ready
to release.
16.) All forms of energy
are considered potential.
How is that possible?
All forms of energy could
be considered potential
at one time or another if
the energy is stored or is
not being used.
the amount of
energy you end with.
17.) What is an energy
transformation?
An energy
transformation is a
change in energy forms.
21.) What is an
independent variable?
The independent variable
is the manipulated
variable; it is the one that
the scientist changes.
25.) What is a constant
variable?
A constant are all the
other variables that you
should strive to keep the
same in an experiment.
18.) Describe the
following energy
conversion:
Turning on a lamp/light
The main energy
conversion that happens
is electrical to light
(radiant).
19.) Describe the
following energy
conversion:
Toasting a piece of bread
22.) What is a testable
question? What is the
correct format?
23.) What is a dependent
variable?
A testable question is one
that can be tested through
experimentation. The
correct format most often
used is the “How does this
affect that?” format.
26.) What is an
observation?
An observation is a
statement based on
something you noticed
using your five senses.
What is an inference?
An inference is a
conclusion that you reach
based on an observation.
The main conversion
that happens is electrical
to thermal.
The dependent variable is
the variable that is a result
of the independent. It is
what you measure as a
result of the variable that
you change in an
experiment.
27.) Using the diagram
below, label where the
roller coaster has the
highest amount of
potential energy.
A
20.) Describe the
following energy
conversion:
Hitting a drum
The main conversion is
mechanical to sound.
24.) What is a
hypothesis? How should
a hypothesis be written?
A hypothesis is a
statement about what
you think will be the
result of your
experiment. A
hypothesis should be
written in a “If, then,
because” statement.
28.) Using the diagram
below, label where the
roller coaster has the
highest amount of kinetic
energy.
