Science Vocabulary Light it Up

4. the process by which energy is relocated from one system to another. Energy transfer takes place when energy moves from one place to another. Energy can move from one object to another, like when the energy from your moving foot is transferred to a soccer ball, or energy can change from one form to another.
6. a line or route around an area; an act of moving or turning around; the closed path followed by an electric current
8. are paths for the transmission of electric current. When electric current moves through a circuit, electrical energy in the current is transferred to devices that change it into other forms of energy that can do work, such as providing power to lights, appliances, and other devices.
10. the power or ability to make something work or be active; the amount of such power needed to do something

1. energy that is stored energy; when it's being used, it becomes kinetic energy. Three types of potential energy include: Elastic potential energy, which is the energy stored in something when you push, pull, or force it out of shape: think of rubber bands or springs.
2. the transformation of one form of energy into another form. More specifically, the term energy conversion refers to the process through which energy is changed into forms that are useful to humans. For hundreds of years, humans have used an array of devices and systems for this purpose.
3. transfer of energy from a high-temperature body to a lower-temperature one
5. also known as motion energy: energy resulting from motion
7. energy that comes from vibrations moving through something
9. energy that is a kind of kinetic energy with the ability to make types of light visible to human eyes. Light is defined as a form of electromagnetic radiation emitted by hot objects like lasers, bulbs, and the sun. Light contains photons which are minute packets of energy.
