Directions: As you watch the video, please answer the following questions.
---
1. When we do something, like open a door, we use _____________.
✔ Answer: *Energy*
🔍 Explanation: Any action or work requires energy. Opening a door involves moving an object (the door), which uses energy.
2. Energy comes in all different ____________, like sound, heat, and electricity.
✔ Answer: *Forms*
🔍 Explanation: Energy exists in various forms such as kinetic, potential, thermal, chemical, electrical, etc.
3. Energy can be ____________ from one form to another.
✔ Answer: *Converted*
🔍 Explanation: Energy transformation is a key concept — for example, chemical energy in food converts to kinetic energy when we move.
4. When energy is stored, we call it ____________ energy.
✔ Answer: *Potential*
🔍 Explanation: Potential energy is stored energy due to position or state (e.g., a ball held above the ground).
5. When energy is moving, we call it ____________ energy.
✔ Answer: *Kinetic*
🔍 Explanation: Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. A rolling ball has kinetic energy.
6. Mixing baking soda and vinegar causes a cork to pop off because ____________ energy is changed to moving energy.
✔ Answer: *Chemical*
🔍 Explanation: The reaction between baking soda and vinegar releases gas (CO₂), converting stored chemical energy into kinetic energy that pushes the cork out.
7. Energy makes things ____________.
✔ Answer: *Move* (or *work*)
🔍 Explanation: Energy enables movement and doing work. Without energy, nothing changes or moves.
8. The kinetic energy of a swinging bowling ball will never be bigger than its ____________ energy.
✔ Answer: *Potential*
🔍 Explanation: At the highest point of swing, the ball has maximum potential energy and zero kinetic energy. As it swings down, potential turns into kinetic. Maximum kinetic energy equals initial potential energy (ignoring friction).
9. We can use the energy of falling water to make ____________.
✔ Answer: *Electricity*
🔍 Explanation: Hydroelectric power plants use falling water to turn turbines and generate electricity.
10. The ____________ is beaming energy to the earth all day and night.
✔ Answer: *Sun*
🔍 Explanation: The Sun emits light and heat energy continuously, even at night (though not directly visible). It's Earth’s primary energy source.
11. A ____________ converts electrical energy into heat energy.
✔ Answer: *Toaster* (or *heater*, *stove*, *hair dryer*)
🔍 Explanation: Devices like toasters use electrical energy to produce heat through resistance in wires.
12. One of the biggest sources of energy that we use is ____________.
✔ Answer: *Fossil fuels* (or *oil*, *coal*, *natural gas*)
🔍 Explanation: Fossil fuels are major energy sources used globally for electricity, transportation, and industry.
13. We get energy from the ____________ we eat.
✔ Answer: *Food*
🔍 Explanation: Food contains chemical energy that our bodies break down to fuel movement, growth, and life processes.
14. The energy we get from food began as ____________ energy from the sun.
✔ Answer: *Light* (or *solar*)
🔍 Explanation: Plants use sunlight via photosynthesis to create chemical energy in their tissues. We consume those plants (or animals that ate them) to access this energy.
15. Whenever energy is converted from one form to another, a little bit of it ends up as ____________.
✔ Answer: *Heat* (or *thermal energy*)
🔍 Explanation: Due to inefficiencies (like friction or resistance), some energy is always lost as heat during conversions.
