Following completion of the simulation, write a 260- to 350-word response to the following:
- Briefly describe what you did during the simulation.
- What did you observe?
- What do your observations teach you about the storage and transfer of energy between objects and their environments?
- What additional questions do you have about the storage and transfer of energy?
In your response, include some of the new vocabulary introduced in this week’s readings, such as:
- Energy
- Kinetic energy
- Potential energy
- Chemical energy
- Endothermic
- Exothermic
- Heating
- Temperature
- First law of thermodynamics
- Second law of thermodynamics
