6th Grade Science Fall 23 Cumulative Final Review

Front

What happens to the potential and kinetic energy of a pendulum as it swings from its highest to lowest position?

Back

The potential energy decreases while the kinetic energy increases.

Front

Which action is NOT SAFE in a science lab?

Back

Going to a lab station without permission.

Front

What two factors does gravitational potential energy depend on?

Back

Height and mass.

Front

How is the element classified if it is a good conductor of heat and electricity?

Back

Metal.

Front

Can energy be destroyed?

Back

No.

Front

What is the formula for calculating gravitational potential energy?

Back

Potential Energy = mass × gravity × height.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

The energy of an object due to its motion.

Front

What is the law of conservation of energy?

Back

Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed.

Front

What is the difference between a metal and a nonmetal?

Back

Metals are typically shiny, malleable, and good conductors of heat and electricity, while nonmetals are dull, brittle, and poor conductors.

Front

What is the unit of energy?

Back

Joule (J).
