Studying for Natural Science

Our test for Unit 1 is on Thursday.  You don't need to memorize exactly the words from the text, but you should be able to:

--Name and give examples of the six forms of energy
--Explain the two forms of mechanical energy
--Different energy sources (where does it come from? ex. food, the sun, the wind...)
--Identify and explain some energy transformations (when one form of energy changes into another) Ex: In a fan, electrical energy is transformed into thermal energy.
--Renewable and Non-renewable energy sources (explain and give examples)
--Problems caused by using non-renewable energy sources
--Ways to help protect our planet

A good way to study is to make mind maps like we did in class.

Also, read over the Sci Facts (you don't have to memorize them, but they can help reinforce the concepts.)

Here are all of the posts and links to the games for this unit.

Good luck!
