3.            Conclusion: The data show that our hypothesis was/was not supported, ___.
4.           Further Questions: In working on this lab, I wondered what would happen if we ____.
5.            Replication: Things that might be improved about the lab include ___.
Criteria:                  Your machine MUST accomplish a certain task:                  Store potential energy.
Constraints:                  Your team MUST follow certain restrictions:                  Use ALL the pieces.

Energy: Kinetic and Potential
        Energy is the ability to cause __________.
        Anytime a change occurs, energy is __________ from one object to another.
        Kinetic energy is the energy an object has due to its __________.
        Kinetic energy depends on two factors: SPEED and __________
        Speed: the __________ an object moves, the more kinetic energy it has
        Mass: Kinetic energy __________ as the mass of the object increases. (More mass = more kinetic energy)
        Potential energy is the energy stored in an object because of its __________.
        Potential energy depends on two factors: HEIGHT and __________
        Height: greater height = __________ potential energy
        Mass: __________ mass = more potential energy

The Five Forms of Energy
        Thermal energy is the total __________ energy of the particles in something
All objects have thermal energy that increases as its __________ increases.
        Chemical energy is the energy stored in __________ bonds.
When chemicals bonds are broken apart, __________ is released.
        Radiant Energy: the energy carried by __________
When the light is absorbed by an object, the object can become __________
        __________ energy: The electric current that comes out of batteries and wall sockets
        __________ energy: energy in the nucleus of an atom can be transformed into other forms of energy.

Conduction
        The __________ energy is passing from the wall outlet to the hot plate.
        The hot coils are __________ the crucible, which is touching the wax, melting it.
        The heat from the hot plate is __________ in the air.
        the fire heats __________of the skewer
        eventually the end we are holding will become too hot
        Heat was transferred from the flames to the metal, and then from __________ in the skewer via __________ until it reached your hand.
        Not all objects are good __________ of heat.
        the stick may have caught fire
        wood is a very __________ heat conductor
        Heat can be __________ from one object to another, or from one molecule to another, through the process of conduction.
        As one molecule is heated it begins to __________rapidly.
        As it does so, it passes some of its heat energy to other __________ around it.
        Through this process, all the molecules of an object pass heat from one to another, until they are all hot.

Convection
        Convection is based on the principle that heat __________ and cold __________
        When objects are __________, they rise. When hot objects __________, they sink again.
        The cycle caused by hot items rising, cooling, then sinking, is called __________.
        Convection is important in many areas of our lives: convection from a radiator; convection from an air conditioner; convection in an oven; convection inside the earth (causing volcanoes).

States of Matter
        puddles on the sidewalk: __________
        ice in a glass: __________
        The molecules in a __________ move around, sort of jiggling. They can’t really break out of their form because they have little __________ energy.
        The molecules in a __________ move around, bouncing against each other. They are only limited by taking the shape the container they are in. They have more kinetic energy than a __________.
        The molecules in a __________ move around a lot, bouncing against each other quickly and often. They aren’t limited to the container they are in: they will fill ANY space they can. They have a lot of __________ energy.
        The molecules of a substance can
gain
 or
lose kinetic energy,
causing the molecules to move around more
 or
move around less,
if heat is applied
 or
if heat is removed.

        Liquid to __________: evaporating: Heat is applied: If the molecules of a liquid speed up and move around much more, the substance can become a gas; example: water vapor
        __________ to Gas: sublimation: Heat is applied: If the molecules of a solid speed up VERY QUICKLY, the substance can become a gas; example: dry ice
        Solid to __________: melting; Heat is applied: If the molecules of a solid speed up and move around some more, the substance can become a liquid; example: water from ice.

        __________ to Liquid: condensing; Heat is removed: If the molecules of a gas slow down and move around less, the substance can become a liquid: condensing; example: water from vapor
        Liquid to __________: freezing;  Heat is removed: If the molecules of a liquid slow down and move around less, the substance can become a sold; example: ice from water.
        __________ to Solid: deposition;  Heat is removed: If the molecules of a liquid slow down and move around less VERY QUICKLY, the substance can become a solid: example: snow from water vapor.
