Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 4.6 Energy Transfer by Sound, Light, Heat and Electric Currents skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Design challenge: A model must show energy transferred by sound, light, heat, or electric current. Which model would best match this event: a heated metal rod warms at the far end? Read all answer choices carefully before deciding.

AA model with no source, receiver, or observable change

BA model that changes several unrelated variables at once

CA model that says energy disappears after the first step

DA model that shows thermal energy transfers by conduction through the rod

Solution & Explanation:A useful model identifies the energy source, the transfer path, and the observable result.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Design challenge: A model must show energy transferred by sound, light, heat, or electric current. Which model would best match this event: a guitar string vibrates after being plucked? Read all answer choices carefully before deciding.

AA model with no source, receiver, or observable change

BA model that changes several unrelated variables at once

CA model that shows motion energy changes to sound energy

DA model that says energy disappears after the first step

Solution & Explanation:A useful model identifies the energy source, the transfer path, and the observable result.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Design challenge: A model must show energy transferred by sound, light, heat, or electric current. Which model would best match this event: a solar panel lights a small bulb? Read all answer choices carefully before deciding.

AA model with no source, receiver, or observable change

BA model that shows light energy transfers to the panel and becomes electrical energy

CA model that changes several unrelated variables at once

DA model that says energy disappears after the first step

Solution & Explanation:A useful model identifies the energy source, the transfer path, and the observable result.
