• Electrical

• Magnetic

• Sound

Fill in the blank: Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only ________ into another form of energy.

What is matter?

• Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space.

• Matter is only found in solid form.

• Matter is a type of force.

Which of the following is a property of a solid?

• Not rigid

• Fixed shape

• No fixed volume

• No fixed shape

Which state of matter has no fixed shape but has a fixed volume?

• Solid

• Liquid

• Gas

Which form of energy is stored to be used later, such as in food or batteries?

• Mechanical

• Chemical

• Sound

• Light

Energy can be used to do work by:

• being stored in objects

• causing a change or movement

• remaining unused

• decreasing in amount

What is a force?

• A force is a push or pull on an object.

• A force is a type of energy stored in objects.

• A force is the speed at which an object moves.

• A force is the color of an object.

Forces can be balanced or unbalanced. Balanced force is when the amount of force is equal on both sides and there is no motion. Unbalanced force is when there is a greater force on one side (forces are not equal) and causes motion towards the greater force. Which type of force causes motion towards the greater force?

• Balanced force

• Unbalanced force
