force or do work.
Forms of energy
2 a) Chemical energy.
b) Gravitational potential energy.
c) Strain energy.
3 a) Chemical energy.
b) Gravitational potential energy.
c) Strain energy.

b) The further the band is pulled back, the further the ball travels.
c) The greater the stored energy in the band, the further the ball travelled. Pulling the band back further
increases its stored energy.
d) They do not seem to be very accurate as they do not show the pattern clearly. The line is wobbly
instead of straight.
e) She could repeat them, taking more care over her measurements.
f) The elastic band broke.
5 It moves.
6 Solids, liquids and gases.
7 Electrical energy is the movement of electrical charges through a conductor. Electromagnetic energy is
electrical energy that travels in the form of electromagnetic waves.
8 Internal energy or thermal energy.
Energy changes
9 It changes from electromagnetic energy in light into stored, chemical energy in the food in the leaf.
10 Heat and sound.
Fuel
11 a) D, C, E, B, A
b) Coal.
c) Oil and methane gas.
d) Tiny plants and animals that lived and died in the upper waters of ancient seas; dead plankton.
12 a) Use the same mass of each fuel, the same mass of water; have the pans the same distance above the
fuels; make sure the air is still around both barbecues; hold the thermometer in the same position in
both pans when taking the temperature.
