For questions 1 to 8 chose the correct word from the brackets to make each sentence correct.
1. (Wood / wind/ electricity) is a fuel
2. When a fuel is burned (food/ temperature / energy) is released
3. (Coal / wood) is a fossil fuel.
4. Fossil fuels were made (hundreds/ thousands/ millions) of years ago.
5. Energy is measured in (metres / joules / newtons)
6. Humans get their energy from food such as (sugar / spice / salt)
7. Temperature is measured using a (thermistor / thermometer/ joulemeter)
8. Fossil fuels were formed from the remains of (living things/ rocks/ sea water)

Use the temperatures in the box to answer questions 9 to 11.

9. What is the temperature of boiling water ?
10. What is the temperature of a healthy person?
37 °C 0 °C 100 °C
11. What is the temperature of freezing water?
-50°C 10°C

12. What are the three fossil fuels?

For the next 3 questions, choose from the box three energy sources that are renewable.
13. ______________.
14. ______________. wind oil coal solar uranium
15. ______________. waves natural gas

16. Explain why fossil fuels are also called “non-renewable” energy sources.

17. We get all of our energy from the

Sun by different ways. Look
carefully at this picture and
carefully describe two different
ways that the energy from the sun
can be used to heat our homes.

18. Describe how coal was formed

millions of years ago.
The picture shows part of an experiment you might have done to compare the energy content in
different foods. The next questions are all about this experiment.

19. Why was it important to have the same amount

of water in the boiling tube each time a different
food was burnt?

20. How would you find out which food gave out the
most heat energy? (Choose from the list
below) Would you use the one that:
A burned most quickly?
B produced the biggest flame?
C burned for the longest time?
D gave the highest temperature rise of the
water?

The table below shows how much energy there is in 100 g portions of various foods.
Food Energy in 100 g (kJ)
bacon 2000
bread 1000
sugar 1600
Cornflakes 1000
carrot 90
butter 3000
most energy if you ate it?
21. Which food would give the
22. How much energy would 300g of Cornflakes give you?
23. How much energy would you get if you ate 100g of bacon and 200g of bread?

Match up the alternative energy sources with their descriptions in the boxes
24.Solar power A. The energy in Uranium atoms B. Plants are allowed to rot and
25.Hydroelectric power can be used in a reactor the gas given off can be burnt

26.Wind power
C. Hot rocks under the D. Dams are built across rivers to E. The rise
27.Tidal power generate electricity
ground are used to heat and fall of
28.Biomass energy water the sea is
29.Geothermal power G. Large fans are used to generate
used to
F. Energy from the Sun generate
30.Nuclear power electricity from the wind
is used to heat up water electricity
