REPORT FOR: HANNAH ROBBINS
Unit 2 - Inv. 1: What is happening when a spark occurs? (v2)
Can my finger start a fire?
Can my finger start a fire? Section
Page: Prediction
Question #1
Can electric charge start a fire? Explain your thinking.
When two materials rub or come into touch with each other, an electrical charge is produced. It is
possible for electrons to practically rub off of one item and on the other when they come into
contact. If this were to occur at fast rates, I could see this, possibly causing a spark that could
lead to a fire.
Page: Questions about sparks and fire
Question #2
Brainstorm about energy. What types of energy have you heard of?
I have come across several types of energy over the course of my undergraduate studies. I have
heard of thermal energy, chemical energy, kinetic and potential energy, mechanical energy, and
others.
Question #3
What questions do you have about energy?
Are there different sub-types of various energy types? How is energy utilized and how is it stored?
Page: Energy and the Van de Graaff generator
Question #4
What types of energy do you think may have been involved when the Bunsen burner
was lit with the spark from the Van de Graaff generator?
When the Bunsen burner was ignited by a spark from the Van de Graaff generator, there might
have been heat, light, sound, and fire involved.
Question #5
Draw an initial model to explain how the spark from the Van de Graaff generator lit the
Bunsen burner.
Describe your model.
Question #6
What questions do you have about why the spark could start the fire?
What circumstances would prevent this from happening? Would there be physical or chemical
barriers or both?
What happens to energy when objects collide?
What happens to energy when objects collide? Section
Page: Energy and motion
Question #1
What factors might affect the amount of kinetic energy an object has?
No response
Question #2
Write a complete scientific explanation to account for why the heavier ball caused more
flour to spread out. Be sure to include the relationship between amount of mass and amount of kinetic
energy in your explanation, and include a claim, evidence, and reasoning.
No response
Question #3
Write a complete scientific explanation to account for why the ball that was moving
faster caused more flour to spread out.

Question #5
Make an energy graph for a collision method that you tested but have not yet discussed
with the class. When making your graph, be sure to decide the following:
What to include in the system
The relative kinetic energy before and after the collision
How to represent the change

each collision in the simulation? Justify your answer using evidence from the
simulation.

Question #14
When the tennis ball and basketball are bounced together, why does the tennis ball
bounce so high and the basketball bounce so low? Be sure to include the ideas of energy transfer and energy conservation that you
developed in this activity.

spreads to differ in water of different temperatures. Use your observations as evidence and make sure to include the relationship between
the temperature of the water and the motion of the molecules of water and dye.
No response
Question #6
Which system (cold water, room temperature water, warm water) has atoms with the
highest average kinetic energy? Justify your answer.

Page: Pendulum demo
Question #1
Observe the pendulum from when it starts until when it stops. Identify any forms of
energy you think are related to your observations.
No response
Question #2
Describe any energy changes that occur as the pendulum swings and slows down.
No response
Page: Ball drop demo
Question #3
Observe the ball that your teacher drops. Identify any forms of energy you think are
related to your observations.
No response
Question #4
What do you think happens at the molecular level when the ball lands on the clay?
No response
Question #5
How might your answer to the previous question help explain what happens to
molecules that make up the ball and the clay when the ball lands on the clay?
No response
Question #6
How might your answers to the two previous questions help explain what happens to
the pendulum’s kinetic energy when the pendulum stops swinging?
No response
Page: Pendulum and energy
Question #7
Notice that the energy can start as one form of energy and change into other forms.
Identify at least two examples of this from the simulation.
No response
Question #8
The energy may have also been associated with one object in the beginning but a
different object by the end. Identify at least one example of this in the simulation.
No response
Question #9
Compare the total energy when the pendulum starts with the total energy when the
pendulum stops. What do you notice?
No response
Question #10
Use evidence from the pendulum demo and this simulation to explain what happens to
a pendulum’s kinetic energy as the pendulum comes to a stop.
No response
Question #11
No response
When a bow is used, it is important that an arrow is on the string when
the string is released. If the string is pulled back and released without
an arrow, the bow will likely get damaged and the archer will likely get
hurt. However, if an arrow is used with the bow, releasing the pulled
back string makes the arrow fly. Use what you have learned about
energy to explain why it is so important to have an arrow on the string.
Question #12
Draw a diagram that shows the conversions of energy from one form to another and
how energy is transferred when a bow is used to shoot an arrow.

I am currently in Anatomy and Physiology 101. We are in the Chemistry section of our lab book, and I came across a question I wasn't too sure about. The question is; "Do metals donate or accept electrons? What do they become after they donate/accept electrons?" For this question I put that metals both accept and donate elcetrons, and after this they become Ions. Is this correct?
