FCAT Science Vocabulary Week 2

What is the meaning of energy transfer?

• transfer of energy through various stages as a result of feeding patterns of a series of

  organisms

• the sum of conditions affecting an organism, including all living and nonliving

  things in an area, such as plants, animals, water, soil, weather, landforms, and air

• a change of energy from one form to another (e.g., mechanical to electrical, solar to

  electrical)

• a procedure that is carried out and repeated under controlled conditions in order to

  discover, demonstrate, or test a hypothesis; includes all components of the scientific

  method
