Can my finger start a fire? Section Page: Prediction Question #1 Can electric charge start a fire? Explain your thinking. When two materials rub or come into touch with each other, an electrical charge is produced. It is possible for electrons to practically rub off of one item and on the other when they come into contact. If this were to occur at fast rates, I could see this, possibly causing a spark that could lead to a fire. Page: Questions about sparks and fire Question #2 Brainstorm about energy. What types of energy have you heard of? I have come across several types of energy over the course of my undergraduate studies. I have heard of thermal energy, chemical energy, kinetic and potential energy, mechanical energy, and others. Question #3 What questions do you have about energy? Are there different sub-types of various energy types? How is energy utilized and how is it stored? Page: Energy and the Van de Graaff generator Question #4 What types of energy do you think may have been involved when the Bunsen burner was lit with the spark from the Van de Graaff generator? When the Bunsen burner was ignited by a spark from the Van de Graaff generator, there might have been heat, light, sound, and fire involved. Question #5 Draw an initial model to explain how the spark from the Van de Graaff generator lit the Bunsen burner. Describe your model. Question #6 What questions do you have about why the spark could start the fire? What circumstances would prevent this from happening? Would there be physical or chemical barriers or both? What happens to energy when objects collide? What happens to energy when objects collide? Section Page: Energy and motion Question #1 What factors might affect the amount of kinetic energy an object has? No response Question #2 Write a complete scientific explanation to account for why the heavier ball caused more flour to spread out. Be sure to include the relationship between amount of mass and amount of kinetic energy in your explanation, and include a claim, evidence, and reasoning. No response Question #3 Write a complete scientific explanation to account for why the ball that was moving faster caused more flour to spread out. No response Page: Changes in motion and energy Question #4 Take a snapshot of your data table. No response Question #5 Make an energy graph for a collision method that you tested but have not yet discussed with the class. When making your graph, be sure to decide the following: What to include in the system The relative kinetic energy before and after the collision How to represent the change No response Question #6: No response Page: Collisions with different masses Question #7 Take a snapshot of your data table. No response Question #8 Compare your observations of the collisions of spheres that had different masses with your earlier observations of the collisions of spheres that had the same mass. No response Question #9 Based on your observations so far, do you think the total amount of energy changes when two spheres collide? Justify your answer. No response Question #10: No response Page: Motion and energy simulation Question #11 Take a snapshot of the simulation and add annotations to show the relationship between the mass and kinetic energy of an object. Use your image to describe the relationship between the mass and the kinetic energy of an object. No response Question #12 Take a snapshot of the simulation and add annotations to show the relationship between the speed and kinetic energy of an object. Use your image to describe the relationship between speed and kinetic energy of an object. No response Question #13 What pattern do you notice about the total amount of kinetic energy before and after each collision in the simulation? Justify your answer using evidence from the simulation. No response Page: Conclusion Question #14 When the tennis ball and basketball are bounced together, why does the tennis ball bounce so high and the basketball bounce so low? Be sure to include the ideas of energy transfer and energy conservation that you developed in this activity. No response If moving objects have kinetic energy, do moving atoms have kinetic energy? If moving objects have kinetic energy, do moving atoms have kinetic energy? Section Page: Food coloring and water Question #1 In which temperature water did the food coloring spread the fastest? No response Question #2 In which temperature water did the food coloring spread the slowest? No response Question #3 What might explain why the dye spread at different speeds in the different temperatures of water? No response Page: Simulating diffusion Question #4 What did you notice about the behavior of particles in the simulation that helps dye mix with water? No response Question #5 Write a complete scientific explanation about what causes the speed at which the dye spreads to differ in water of different temperatures. Use your observations as evidence and make sure to include the relationship between the temperature of the water and the motion of the molecules of water and dye. No response Question #6 Which system (cold water, room temperature water, warm water) has atoms with the highest average kinetic energy? Justify your answer. No response If energy cannot go away, why don’t things move forever? If energy cannot go away, why don’t things move forever? Section Page: Pendulum demo Question #1 Observe the pendulum from when it starts until when it stops. Identify any forms of energy you think are related to your observations. No response Question #2 Describe any energy changes that occur as the pendulum swings and slows down. No response Page: Ball drop demo Question #3 Observe the ball that your teacher drops. Identify any forms of energy you think are related to your observations. No response Question #4 What do you think happens at the molecular level when the ball lands on the clay? No response Question #5 How might your answer to the previous question help explain what happens to molecules that make up the ball and the clay when the ball lands on the clay? No response Question #6 How might your answers to the two previous questions help explain what happens to the pendulum’s kinetic energy when the pendulum stops swinging? No response Page: Pendulum and energy Question #7 Notice that the energy can start as one form of energy and change into other forms. Identify at least two examples of this from the simulation. No response Question #8 The energy may have also been associated with one object in the beginning but a different object by the end. Identify at least one example of this in the simulation. No response Question #9 Compare the total energy when the pendulum starts with the total energy when the pendulum stops. What do you notice? No response Question #10 Use evidence from the pendulum demo and this simulation to explain what happens to a pendulum’s kinetic energy as the pendulum comes to a stop. No response Question #11 No response When a bow is used, it is important that an arrow is on the string when the string is released. If the string is pulled back and released without an arrow, the bow will likely get damaged and the archer will likely get hurt. However, if an arrow is used with the bow, releasing the pulled back string makes the arrow fly. Use what you have learned about energy to explain why it is so important to have an arrow on the string. Question #12 Draw a diagram that shows the conversions of energy from one form to another and how energy is transferred when a bow is used to shoot an arrow. No response
