Question

★ part 2 → matter and energy in the biolite answer the questions below, then fill in the table. you will use this information in assi 1. classify the following components of the biolite as matter or as energy. a. heat from the fire: ____________ b. the wood that is burned: __________ c. orange/yellow from the flame: __________ d. the food: ____________ 2. compare and contrast matter and energy (you can look it up if you need to). 3. in the biolite demonstration, list the “things” made of matter. 4. in the biolite demonstration, what evidence of energy was there? what evidence of chemical reactions did you observe?

Explanation:

1. a. Heat is a form of energy transferred from a hotter to a colder body.

• b. Wood is made of atoms and molecules, so it is matter.
• c. The orange - yellow light from the flame is a form of electromagnetic energy.
• d. Food is composed of matter such as proteins, carbohydrates etc.

1. Matter has mass and occupies space. Energy is the ability to do work and can exist in various forms like heat, light, etc.
2. In the BioLite demonstration, things made of matter include the wood, the food, and any other physical objects present.
3. Evidence of energy includes heat from the fire, light from the flame.
4. Evidence of chemical reactions can be the change in the wood (burning), production of heat and light which are signs of chemical energy being released.
