Science Concepts and Energy

Front

What are conductors and insulators of thermal and electrical energy?

Back

Conductors allow thermal and electrical energy to pass through, while insulators resist this flow.

Front

How does electrical energy travel in a closed path?

Back

Electrical energy travels in a closed path, producing light and thermal energy.

Front

What data can be collected to predict patterns of change in seasons?

Back

Data on temperature and length of daylight can be collected to predict seasonal changes.

Front

What patterns can be observed in the Moon's appearance from Earth?

Back

The observable appearance of the Moon changes in a predictable sequence.

Front

What is the water cycle and its relationship with the Sun?

Back

The water cycle involves the continuous movement of water above and on Earth's surface, with the Sun as a major energy source.

Front

How do insulators protect us from electrical hazards?

Back

Insulators prevent the flow of electrical energy, reducing the risk of electric shock and making devices safer to use.

Front

What role does evaporation play in the water cycle?

Back

Evaporation is the process where water changes from liquid to vapor, driven by the Sun's energy, and is a key step in the water cycle.

Front

Why does the Moon appear to change shape throughout the month?

Back

The Moon appears to change shape due to its phases, which result from its position relative to Earth and the Sun.

Front

How does the tilt of Earth's axis affect seasonal changes?

Back

The tilt of Earth's axis causes different parts of the planet to receive varying amounts of sunlight throughout the year, leading to seasonal changes.

Front

What is condensation and how does it fit into the water cycle?

Back

Condensation is the process where water vapor cools and changes back into liquid, forming clouds and contributing to precipitation in the water cycle.
