Chapter 4 Reading Activity

Name_______________________________________Date______________Hour______Table_____ Lesson One Directions: Complete the concept map with the correct terms from the word bank. Each word is used only once. Chapter 4 General WORD BANK o chemical energy o mechanical energy o sound energy o electric energy o nuclear energy o thermal energy o radiant energy o gravitational potential energy Name_______________________________________Date______________Hour______Table_____ Lesson Two Directions: Circle the term in parentheses that correctly completes each sentence. 1. The law of conservation of energy says that energy can be (reduced, transformed) from one form to another, but it cannot be created or (destroyed, transferred). 2. An energy (transfer, transformation) occurs when energy moves from one object to another without changing form. 3. When a force acts on an object and the object moves in the direction of the force, a transfer of energy called (direction, work) has occurred. 4. One constant about energy transformations is that some energy will always be transformed into (thermal, radiant) energy. 5. During energy transformations, not all energy transformed is transformed to a(n) (efficient, usable) form of energy. 6. The transformation of electric energy to radiant energy and thermal energy when a flashlight is turned on is an example of energy (inefficiency, transfer). 7. There are no true (closed, recycled) systems because every physical system transfers some energy to the environment. 8. The sound of a bus passing by is an example of an (open, efficient) system because some chemical energy is transformed to sound and other energy is transformed to (thermal, electric) energy and mechanical energy. 9. Work occurs when a basketball player (holds, shoots) a basketball and also occurs when a hockey player (moves, stops) the puck with a hockey stick. 10. A television set projecting color images is an example of a(n) (open, closed) system because some energy is being exchanged within the (electrical system, environment). 11. (Chemical, Thermal) energy held in the muscles of the team’s quarterback changes to (nuclear, mechanical) energy when the quarterback throws the ball. 12. When a hockey stick strikes a hockey puck and sends it toward the goalie, (thermal, mechanical) energy is being transferred from the hockey stick to the (goalie, puck). Name_______________________________________Date______________Hour______Table_____ Lesson Three Directions: All of the sentences below are false. Make the sentences true by writing the word(s) from the word bank that replace the underlined word on the line after each statement. 1. When the temperatures of materials that are in contact are the same, the materials are said to be in thermal convection. ________________________________________________ 2. To change from a solid state to a gas state without passing through the liquid state is to radiate. ________________________________________________ 3. The change of state from a liquid to a gas is called conduction. _________________________________________________ 4. The material that makes up a pot’s handle is a(n) thermal conductor. _________________________________________________ 5. Thermal energy can be transferred by conduction, convection, and vaporization. ________________________________________________ 6. The metal that makes up a pot is a(n) equilibrium. _______________________________________________ Word Bank o conduction o radiation o thermal insulator o convection o sublime o vaporization o equilibrium o temperature o heat o thermal conductor 7. Convection is the transfer of thermal energy by collisions between particles in matter. ________________________________________________ 8. The movement of thermal energy from a warm bottle of water to the cool air in a refrigerator is called temperature. ________________________________________________ 9. The transfer of thermal energy by the movement of particles from one part of a material to another is conduction. ________________________________________________ 10. The measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a material is sublimation. ________________________________________________ Name_______________________________________Date______________Hour______Table_____ Chapter Practice: Circle the best answer for each question.
