EOY Bellwork: Forms and Transformations of Energy

Front

What is conduction?

Back

Conduction is the process of heat transfer through direct contact between materials.

Front

What is convection?

Back

Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids (liquids or gases) caused by differences in temperature.

Front

What is radiation?

Back

Radiation is the transfer of heat in the form of electromagnetic waves, such as sunlight.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert radiant energy (sunlight) into chemical energy (glucose) using carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What is chemical energy?

Back

Chemical energy is the energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds, like batteries or food.

Front

What is thermal energy?

Back

Thermal energy is the total kinetic energy of particles in a substance, related to its temperature.

Front

What is an example of energy transformation from chemical to thermal energy?

Back

Burning wood is an example of transforming chemical energy into thermal energy.
