Directions: Use the word bank above to match with the correct definition below. Place the correct letter of the correct term in the blank beside its definition.

_____ 1. The sum of the kinetic and potential energy of the molecules of a substance.

_____ 2. Energy formed from the movement of electrons. For example, lightning and electricity.

_____ 3. An energy source that cannot be replaced or grown back. For example, coal, oil, and natural gas. _____ 4. An energy source formed over millions of years from the decayed remains of ancient plants and animals.

_____ 5. Temperature scale with 100 degrees between the freezing and boiling point of water.

_____ 6. Temperature scale with 180 degrees between the freezing and boiling point of water.

_____ 7. The average kinetic energy of the particles of a substance.

_____ 8. Energy that is obtained by harnessing the rise and fall of ocean tides.

_____ 9. Energy of motion.

_____ 10. An instrument used to measure temperature.

_____ 11. The belief that the sun’s rays are getting trapped inside the atmosphere by a layer of pollution, mainly carbon dioxide. This layer acts as a shield and does not allow heat to escape, and therefore causes the Earth’s temperature to increasingly rise.

_____ 12. A substance that conducts heat.

_____ 13. Energy stored in the nucleus of an atom.

_____ 14. Stored energy.

_____ 15. Thermal energy transferred because of a difference in temperature.

_____ 16. The warming of the Earth.

_____ 17. Contaminated particles in the air that trap in the Earth’s heat.

_____ 18. A material through which heat does not easily flow.

_____ 19. The main contributor to the greenhouse effect.

_____ 20. The type of energy that comes from the sun’s rays. Directions: Compare the following set of terms by filling in the Venn Diagram. You must list at least THREE items for each circle.

Global Warming Climate Change

Directions: Circle the term that best completes the statement.

1. Mercury thermometers work because mercury (expands, contracts, condenses) when it is warmed.

2. Down in a down jacket is a good insulator because it (is a solid, is light weight, contains many air spaces).

3. The most common greenhouse gas is (carbon dioxide, hydrochloric acid, carbon monoxide).

4. The molecules of boiling water move at a (fast, slow, even) rate.

5. Burning (wood, biomass- plant materials, fossil fuels) adds greenhouse gases to the atmosphere.

6. An example of a renewable energy source is (coal, hydroelectric power, fossil fuels).

7. The greenhouse effect is a cycle that explains how the Earth’s heat gets trapped inside the atmosphere. The cycle begins at the (sun, atmosphere, moon).

8. If the Earth is like a greenhouse, carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere act like the (plants, sun, glass). Directions: Answer the following questions on the lines provided.

1. Why are the basements of houses often cooler than the rest of the house in warm weather? ______

______

2. If you were a believer in global warming, how would you explain the fact that the Earth’s temperature is rising? ______

______

3. What are several environmental problems that are happening as a direct result of the

Earth’s rising temperatures?

______
