Kid’s Korner – Energy Education is Fun! (http://www.fplsafetyworld.com/?ver=kkblue&utilid=fplforkids&id=16168)
1. Fill in the blanks:
a. There are two types of energy:
i.
__________________ energy or stored energy
ii.
__________________ energy or energy in motion
b. _____________ ____________ and ____________ are examples of kinetic
energy.
c. Potential Energy is stored. Energy can be stored in many ways: a gallon of
__________________ or a barrel of ___________ contains stored energy; a
_____________ in the mountains contains "stored" energy because if it were
released, it would do a lot of "work."
d. Energy can be _________________ from one type to another.
e. When a car being driven up a hill, it is demonstrating ________________
energy or energy in ______________.
f. When it sits on the top of the hill it has _______________, or ______________
energy.
g. If it is then allowed to roll back down the hill the _______________ energy
changes again into _________________ energy.
h. A law of physics says that energy can be neither _________________ nor
_______________, but it can ____________ back and forth between forms.
2. Name the types of energy described below:
a.
____________________________-- the energy of motion that does
the work like the wind turns a windmill
b.
______________________________-- where motion or
rise in temperature is caused by heat like a fire in your fireplace.
c.
____________________________-- the chemical
reaction causing changes; food and fuel both store chemical energy.
d.
____________________________--when motion, light, or
heat is produced by an electrical current.

2. Click on Radiation. Click on “Add Sunlight”. What happens to the temperature inside
the house?
a. Click on examples. Radiation is the transfer of energy by
___________________ waves.
b. Radiation is the only heat transfer that can travel through ______________
________________.
c. The _________________ energy is transferred to Earth by radiation.
d. Name 4 examples of things that give off heat by radiation.
__________________________, ________________________,
__________________________, ________________________
3. Click on the conduction tab. Click on light burner. What happens when the person’s
hand touches the pot? ____________________
a. Conduction is the transfer of heat between objects that are in
__________________ ___________________ with each other.
b. Conduction works better in _________________ than in liquids or gases.
c. Click on examples. _____________________ are excellent conductors.
d. When you touch cool metal objects, they feel even cooler because they are
_______________________ the heat away from your hand.
e. ___________________ (and air) are not good conductors because the atoms
are ________________ _____________.
f. Things with air pockets like Styrofoam make good _________________.
4. Click on convection. Click on light stove.
a. Convection is transfer of heat by movement through a medium like
_______________ or ______________.
b. When a gas or liquid is heated, it _________________, ______________, and
_______________.
c. Click on examples. Give 3 examples of convection.
_______________________, ____________________________, and
_______________________.
