Presentation Transcript

  1. Energy Jeopardy!

  2. Moving objects – like a car

  3. What is mechanical energy?

  4. This process uses sunlight to produce sugars and release oxygen

  5. What is photosynthesis?

  6. Stored Energy

  7. What is potential energy?

  8. The greatest source of energy for the earth

  9. What is the sun?

  10. Most of the energy sources we use today

  11. What are oil, natural gas, and coal?

  12. This form of energy is stored in wood, fossil fuels, and food

  13. What is chemical energy?

  14. This is widely used today for cooking and heating – especially in developing countries

  15. What is biomass?

  16. Everything that is moving

  17. What is kinetic energy?

  18. Wind, water, solar, and biomass are examples of this type of energy

  19. What is renewable energy?

  20. A fossil fuel that is found deep below the earth’s surface and is pumped out.

  21. What is petroleum or oil?

  22. The splitting is called fission, the coming together of atoms is called fusion

  23. What is nuclear energy?

  24. This object uses nuclear fusion to reach temperatures of 15 million degrees centigrade

  25. What is the sun?

  26. Snow on top of a mountain

  27. What is potential energy?

  28. One can refine 20 gallons of gasoline from one barrel of this.

  29. What is petroleum?

  30. A fossil fuel that is lighter than air, burns easily, and has no odor.

  31. What is natural gas?

  32. Visible wavelengths and invisible wavelengths like x-rays.

  33. What is radiant, or light, energy?

  34. Uneven heating of the earth provides this source of energy

  35. What is wind energy?

  36. Legs pumping the pedals of a bike.

  37. What is kinetic energy?

  38. This kind of car has two engines – one is an efficient internal combustion engine, the other is an electric engine.

  39. What is a hybrid?

  40. A black, rock-like mineral.

  41. What is coal?
