Energy transfers and transformations

What is the stored energy of an object or material due to its position.

• potential energy

• mechanical energy

• thermal energy

• chemical energy

NGSS.MS-PS3-2

This is the energy associated wityh the movement of electrons through a wire or circuit.

• electrical

• mechanical

• nuclear

• kinetic

Tags

NGSS.MS-PS2-3

This is the energy of an object due to its motion, position, or condition. It's the combined total of potential and kinetic energy of an object.

• motion energy

• mechanical energy

• nuclear energy

• thermal energy

NGSS.MS-PS3-2

NGSS.MS-PS3-5

The faster an object moves, the more of this type of energy it has.

• moving

• potential

• kinetic

• gravitational

NGSS.MS-PS3-5

This is the energy of an object due to the motion of its atoms and molecules.

• chemical energy

• sound energy

• radiant energy

• thermal energy

Tags

NGSS.MS-PS1-4

This type of energy travels in waves and is able to move through empty space.

• radiation (radiant)

• nuclear

• weaponized

• gerbil

Tags

NGSS.MS-PS4-1

This is the energy of vibrations carried through solids, liquids, or gases. It travels in waves, but cannot move through empty space or a vacuum.

• heat

• sound

• radiant

• formulary

NGSS.MS-PS4-1

NGSS.MS-PS4-2

All energy can change from one of these to another.

• form

• transfer

• transformation

• potato-------

Tags

NGSS.MS-PS3-5

This is the energy produced when an atom splits apart (fission) or when two atoms join to form one atom (*fusion).

• electrical

• atomic

• thermal

• nuclear

Tags

NGSS.HS-PS1-8

Plants use energy from the sun in the process of photosynthesis to manufacture glucose. The energy transformation is:

• radiant to chemical

• thermal to mechanical

• electrical to radiant

• radiant to thermal
