Science Revision Quiz 2 Term 3 - Answer Key.docx
1. Match each word with its corresponding meaning. Write the letter in the given blank.
a. Heat __f___ When energy moves from one place to another or changes from one
form to another.
b. Cell ___d____ The energy that our eyes can see.
d. Light __a_____ Energy that flows from a hotter object to a cooler object.
i. A circuit ___c____ It is used to control the flow of electric current in a circuit.

4. Fill in the table below so that Sally can identify the variables to conduct a fair test.
5. ____T_______ When we turn the switch on, the circuit is closed.
6. ____T_______ When we turn the switch off, the circuit is open.

Part 2- Application:

The left circuit is complete, so when the switch is closed, the electric current can flow all the
way through. This will make the lamps light up.
The right circuit has an open wire that is not connected, so the circuit is incomplete. That
means the current cannot flow, and the lamps will not light up.

B. Circle the energy found in each of the following
Heat Heat
Heat
Light Heat Light
Light
Sound Light Sound
Sound
Sound (Heat is acceptable)
C. Since all matter contains energy, energy is found everywhere around us.
Can you name two types of energy and give one example for each?
5
D. The picture shows a boy playing drums.
Energy is needed to _____move______________ the sticks. When the sticks hit the drums,
there will be ____sound_________________. If you hit the drums harder, there is
________more_____________ energy transferred, and the sound will be
____________louder_________.

E. The picture below shows a kettle filled with water placed over a stove.
Tick the two correct answers.
a. All the energy from the fire is transferred to the water.
b. Energy is transferred from the cooler object to the hotter object.
d. Some energy from the fire is transferred to the surrounding environment as light.
7
F. The picture below shows a person playing baseball. Tick the statements that are correct.
d. Some energy is transferred to the surrounding environment as sound when the bat
hits the ball.
G. Use the following components: a cell, a lamp, a switch, and connecting wires.
1. Draw two circuits:
● Circuit A: A closed circuit with one cell,
one lamp, and a tuned-on switch.
8
● Circuit B: A circuit with one cell, two
lamps, and a tuned off switch.
3. What do you think will happen to the lamps in Circuit B when the switch is closed?
(Think about whether the lamps will light up or not and why.)
When the switch in Circuit B is closed, the lamps will light up because the circuit becomes
complete. However, since there is only one cell and two lamps, the brightness of each lamp
4. What do you think will happen if we add one more lamp to Circuit B after closing the
switch? Will the brightness of the lamps change?
If we add one more lamp to Circuit B, the brightness of all the lamps will decrease. This is
because the same amount of energy from the single cell will have to be shared between more
lamps, so each gets less energy.
5. What do you think will happen if we add one more cell to Circuit B after closing the switch?
How might the lamps behave?
If we add another cell, the lamps will get more energy. This will make the lamps brighter
because there is more power available to push the current through the circuit.

H. Circle the statement that does NOT explain what happens to the energy from the moving
Explanation:
Energy cannot disappear. It can only be transformed or transferred to other objects or the
surroundings. The other statements correctly describe how energy behaves.
Part 3- Reasoning:
A. Ali wanted to test how the strength of a push affects how far and fast a car moves. He
used two toy cars of the same size and shape. He gave the first car a gentle push and the
second one a strong push. Which car do you think went further and faster? Explain your
The second car went further and faster because it got more energy from the stronger
push. More energy makes things move faster and travel a longer distance. This is a fair
test because both cars were the same size and shape, and the only thing that changed
B. Complete the following activity to test how changing different components in a circuit
affects the brightness of the lamp(s) This is the control Set-up.

1. Identify and record the variable that is changed for each circuit compared to the control
circuit and describe what happens to the lamp

Two more cells were Brighter
2. Sarah uses one big lamp and one small lamp to build circuit A. She says that it is a fair test
because the number of lamps used is still two. Is she correct? Justify your answer.
C. Saeed is helping his father build a wooden shelf. He uses a hammer to push nails into the
wood. His sister, who has recently been studying energy transfer, watches and says:
“The energy starts in the nail and then moves to the hammer and finally goes to Ali’s
arm.”
1. Do you agree with Saeed’s sister’s explanation?
