1. where are two places you can gather evidence?

a.________b.________

1. what two parts of a scientific argument does the reasoning connect?

a.________b.________
4 - 6) this is a diagram of a person going skydiving. label the diagram 1,2, and 3 with either kinetic energy (k.e.) or potential energy (p.e.) or both (ke/pe).
7 - 15 match the type of energy with the brief description.
________mechanical
a. light
________solar
b. audio
________chemical
c. stretched
________gravitational
d. heat
________elastic
e. atomic
________sound
f. bonds
________nuclear
g. waves
________thermal
h. height
________radiant
i. motion

Explanation:

1. A scientific argument typically starts with a claim, which is a statement being proposed, and evidence, which supports the claim.
2. Evidence can be gathered from experiments, which are controlled tests, and observations, which are noting of facts or events.
3. Reasoning connects the evidence to the claim, explaining how the evidence supports the claim.

4 - 6. When the skydiver is in the plane (4), they have potential energy due to height. Just before jumping (5), they still mainly have potential energy. While falling (6), they have both kinetic energy (due to motion) and potential energy (due to remaining height).
7 - 15. Mechanical energy is related to motion (i), solar energy comes from the sun (related to light - a), chemical energy is in bonds (f), gravitational energy depends on height (h), elastic energy is in stretched objects (c), sound energy is in waves (g), nuclear energy is atomic (e), thermal energy is heat (d), radiant energy includes light (a).
