Across
- 3. A device or process that changes one form of energy into another. For example, a solar panel converts sunlight (solar energy) into electricity.
- 5. The ability to do work or make things happen. It can come in different forms like movement, heat, or light.
- 6. _______ Energy is the energy of movement. Anything that is moving, like a car or a running person, has kinetic energy.
- 8. _______ Energy comes from the sun. It can be used to heat things or make electricity using solar panels.
- 10. _______ Energy: The energy you start with before it gets changed into something else. For example, the sun’s light is input energy for solar panels.
- 11. _______ Energy is energy that is stored in an object has because of its position or state. For example, a ball on top of a hill has potential energy because it can roll down.
Down
- 1. _______ Energy comes from the heat inside the Earth. It can be used to heat buildings or generate electricity.
- 2. _______ Energy is stored in the bonds of chemicals. When those bonds are broken (like in food or batteries), the energy is released and can be used.
- 4. _______ Energy is in the form of heat. The hotter something is, the more thermal energy it has.
- 7. _______ Energy comes from the wind. We can capture this energy with wind turbines to make electricity.
- 9. _______ Energy: The energy that comes out after it has been converted. For example, after a wind turbine turns, the output energy is electricity.
