diagram

2

a plan, sketch, drawing, or outline made to show how something works or to show the way parts are put together

3

force

4

a push or a pull that causes an object to move, stop, or change

direction

5

gravity

6

the force that pulls all things in the universe toward each other; the force

that pulls things down on Earth

7

magnetism

8

a force that pulls iron or steel across a distance; a force that attracts or

repels magnetic material

9

friction

10

a force that resists motion when objects rub against each other

11

motion

12

a change in the position of an object

13

Simple machine

14

a device with few or no moving parts that changes the size or

direction of a force

15

energy

16

the ability to make a change in matter

17

electricity

18

energy that flows through a circuit and can create light, heat,

magnetism, sound, or other effects

19

Electric circuit

20

a closed path where electricity can flow

21

electromagnet

22

a temporary magnet created when electricity passes through wire wrapped around an iron bar

23

Thermal energy

24

heat energy caused by the movement of molecules in an object

25

conduction

26

the direct transfer of heat between objects that touch

27

convection

28

heat moving from one object to another caused by mixing a liquid or

a gas

29

radiation

30

the movement of thermal (heat) energy by electromagnetic waves, such as light waves from the sun

31

Sound energy

32

a change in matter made by vibrating objects

33

vibrate

34

to move back and forth

35

pitch

how high or low a sound is

37

Volume(in relation to sound)

38

the loudness or amount of a sound

39

conductor

40

a material that allows energy to flow through it easily

41

Insulator

42

a material that does not allow energy to flow through it easily

43

Light energy

44

a form of energy that travels in waves and can be seen with our

eyes

45

reflect

46

when light rays bounce off an object

47

refract

48

when light rays bend

49

absorb

50

to take in and hold inside
