Unit 1: Harnessing Human Energy Vocabulary (Version 1)

What is the definition of "claim"?

• The ability to make things move or change

• A proposed answer to a question about the natural world

• Information about the natural world that is used to support or go against a claim

• A machine that can convert kinetic energy into electrical energy

What does "convert" mean?

• To move from one object to another or one place to another

• The energy that an object has because it is moving

• To change from one type to another

• A set of interacting parts forming a complex whole

Which term describes the ability to make things move or change?

• Evidence

• Energy

• Model

• Reasoning
