Additional Vocabulary words may be added to the vocabulary list. Students are to write down or take home notes to study for quizzes or classroom assessments. Quiz December 3, 2015 (1-15) Quiz December 13, 2015 (16-28) Force- A push or pull that causes an object transfer- Change of energy from one to move, stop, or change direction form to another Friction- a force that works against motion Electricity-a form of energy produced inside Energy- What is needed to do or particles of matter cause change form of energy that travels in waves Light-a Thermal energy- Energy that can be measured and can move through empty space by a thermometer Mechanical energy that travels as 6. Mechanical energy- Energy produced by a waves through the air or water and machine or moving part vibrates the ear drum upon contact 7. Potential energy- Energy that is stored in a or Vibration-to move back and forth system or object circuit-the electric current is topped by 8. Kinetic energy- Energy of motion a break, insulator or open switch 9. Gravity-the force that causes attraction circuit-a complete path of conductors between objects that have mass that an electric current can flow through 11. Direction- A straight path that an object can move of energy-where the energy comes along from 12. Motion- The change in an object's position or Magnetism-a description of with respect to time substances attracted to magnetic force and in comparison with the position of other properties-a characteristic of objects used as reference points matter that can be observed or measured 13. Speed- The rate of change of position (or without changing the matter itself distance traveled) with respect to time; units in which speed is measured are expressed as Coming up in January 2016 distance per time (example: meters per second) Chemical Changes-A change that alters the 14. Acceleration-increasing in speed identity of a substance resulting in a new Refers to an object remaining in the 15. Position- substance or substances with different same spot relative to another object properties Chemical Property-A characteristic that can only be observed or measured when atoms of matter rearrange during a chemical change.
