Safari Montage - ''The Science of Disney Imagineering: Energy''
Objective: Students will practice note taking skills in order to describe energy at Disney
World.
Directions: Read over the information below. As you watch the movie, fill in the blanks with
the correct information.
Chapter 2: Understanding Energy
1. All m__________________________ in the universe has energy.
2. Energy is the ability to do w______________________ which occurs when an object is moved
over a distance, and called is the transfer of energy.
3. In an animation, a caveman hits a chicken with his club and sends the animal flying through the air;
by doing work, energy was t_____________________________ from the caveman's muscles to his
club and finally to the chicken.
4. When a person jumps on a trampoline, both the person and the trampoline are transferring
e________________________ back and forth; energy is constantly being transferred from one object to
another.
Chapter 3: Mechanical Energy and Conservation of Energy: Mad Tea Party
5. Mechanical energy is energy that an object has due to its m________________________ or
p__________________________.
6. On the Mad Tea Party ride, e________________________ energy is transformed into
mechanical energy that drives motors under the teacups.
7. According to the Law of C____________________________________ of Energy, energy is
neither created nor destroyed, only converted from one form to another.
8. Heat energy, also known as t___________________________ energy, is usually the final result
of the work-energy process.
Chapter 4: Potential and Kinetic Energy: Summit Plummet
9. At the top of the 12-story Summit Plummet at Disney's Blizzard Beach, riders have lots of
p_____________________________ energy, which is stored energy or energy of position;
10. By going down the water slide, riders convert potential energy into k________________________
energy, or energy of motion.
11. As a rider goes down a water slide, potential energy d___________________________ and kinetic
energy increases.
12. At the bottom of Summit Plummet, any remaining kinetic energy is converted into friction, heat
and a large splash; the f___________________________ generates heat that warms the water
slightly.
Chapter 5: Electrical Energy: Test Track
13. At Test Track, electrical energy is transformed into m___________________________ energy in
the motors of the test cars (the motors do work to move wheels, which give the cars kinetic energy;
electrical energy also controls the audio, video and computers in the cars)
14. Riders reach 65 miles per hour at the end of Test Track; the friction brakes that stop the ride turn
some of this kinetic energy into heat, also known as t______________________ energy .
Chapter 6: Renewable Energy: Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage
15. Most energy used worldwide today comes from n_________________________________ sources
that cause pollution and cannot be replenished in a short amount of time; renewable energy causes
less pollution and is constantly being replenished.
16. S______________________ panels are installed on the roofs at many Disney locations, including
Epcot's Universe of Energy pavilion and Disney Studios in Burbank, California.
Chapter 7: Energy: Putting It All Together (52 sec)
17. Expedition Everest a 70-foot-long train that has electric booster wheels which do work and
t___________________________ energy to the train to make the train move.
