Forms of Energy & Evidence of Transfer — Drills · Grade 6 Science
Chapter: Energy, Heat & Thermal DesignWhat these drills covers
By the end of Forms of Energy & Evidence of Transfer you should be able to:
- I can name the store an object's energy is in and say what it depends on.
- I can give the observable evidence that energy has been transferred.
- I can compare energies in joules across very different situations.
4 questions, multiple choice and written answer, each with a worked explanation.
Vocabulary used: kinetic energy, potential energy, evidence, system boundary, uncertainty.
Problem 1
- An energy form can be identified without describing any process or system.
- Temperature in degrees Celsius is an amount of energy in joules.
- kinetic energy: Energy associated with motion.
- A sample with missing measurements has proved those values are zero.
Answer and explanation
kinetic energy: Energy associated with motion.
Energy associated with motion.
Problem 2
- Repeating any method makes every causal claim true.
- An energy form can be identified without describing any process or system.
- Temperature in degrees Celsius is an amount of energy in joules.
- potential energy: Energy associated with relative position or configuration in an interacting system.
Answer and explanation
potential energy: Energy associated with relative position or configuration in an interacting system.
Energy associated with relative position or configuration in an interacting system.
Problem 3
Answer and explanation
No. Light transfers energy by radiation; battery matter and emitted radiation are different parts of the explanation.
Compare the scientific meaning and reasoning after an independent attempt. A different accurate supported response can be correct; human review is required.
Problem 4
Answer and explanation
The explanation must connect the stages and observable changes, including transfers to surroundings rather than merely naming categories.
