Energy and Motion (Kinetic and Potential Energy)

Vocabulary

1) Work – when an object moves a certain distance

2) Energy – ability to do work or cause change

3) Kinetic energy – energy an object has due to its motion (moving energy) (dependent upon mass & speed)

4) Potential Energy – stored energy resulting from position or shape of an object

5) Energy transfer examples (potential to kinetic to surrounding objects)

6) Conservation of energy – energy cannot be lost or destroyed, only transferred

7) Mass – the amount of matter or particles in an object (related to density)

8) Acceleration – the rate at which velocity changes

9) Motion – an objects change in position over time

10) Force – the energy from a physical action like a push or pull

11) Mechanical Energy – the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy. It is the energy associated with the motion and position of an object.

12) Thermometer – an instrument used to measure how cold or hot an object is.

Water Cycle

The water cycle describes how water evaporates from the surface of the earth, rises into the atmosphere, cools and condenses into rain or snow in clouds, and falls again to the surface as precipitation. ... The cycling of water in and out of the atmosphere is a significant aspect of the weather patterns on Earth.

Thermal Energy

Thermal energy is the internal energy of an object due to the kinetic energy of its atoms and/or molecules. The atoms and/or molecules of a hotter object have greater kinetic energy than those of a colder one, in the form of vibrational, rotational, or, in the case of a gas, translational motion.

Science Camp

November 19- 22, 2019

Camp forms were sent home and due by Sept. 4th

Suggestions for payments

Sept. 4 - $125

Oct. 2 - $125

Nov. 6 - $125

or the payment in full of $375 may be made at anytime. Checks payable to Eich. Please give all paperwork and $ to your science teacher.

+Medications are due to the Eich office no later than November 8th.

+ Students either bring a sack lunch on the first day OR turn in the yellow form to have Eich provide a lunch for your child. Yellow forms are due by two weeks before we leave (no later).
