5th - Science Unit 3 Lesson 4 Flashcards
A flow of electricity through a conductor.
Electric current
A loop formed when electric current passes through an unbroken path of conductors.
Circuit
Energy that comes from the movement of charged particles.
Electrical energy
The sum of potential energy and kinetic energy
Mechanical energy
A dark area produced when an object blocks the passage of light.
Shadow
Energy from the Sun that shines on Earth.
Solar radiation
Energy due to the motion of particles in matter.
Thermal energy
Energy from the Sun that is used by plants to make food.
Solar radiation
