3–4 line answers

  • Types of motion: Rectilinear (car), Circular (clock hands), Periodic (pendulum).
  • Force effects: Changes speed, direction, or shape of an object.
  • Energy: The ability to do work. Types: kinetic and potential.
  • Lever: A bar on a fulcrum used to lift loads easily.
  • Hearing: Sound enters the ear, vibrates the eardrum, brain understands it.
  • Magnet uses: Fridge doors, speakers, compasses.
  • Universe objects: Planets, moons, stars, galaxies.

Draw and Label (Choose one)
