VOCABULARY:

1. A fuel is any substance that releases

energy when it burns.

Fuel
Fossil Fuel

2. Some common fuels are wood, oil,

gasoline, natural gas, and coal.

3. Fuels have potential energy, which turns into kinetic

energy. The type of kinetic energy that is released
when the fuel is burned is thermal energy.
4. A chemical change in matter is needed for fuel to
release thermal energy.
5. Some fuels we use today are known as fossil fuels.
6. Fossil fuels were formed when the remains of plants
and animals were buried quickly during the Genesis
Flood.
7. Fossil fuels include coal, crude oil, and natural gas.
8. Fossil fuels are known as nonrenewable.
9. Nonrenewable resources are resources that are being
used faster than they are forming.
10. Wood is a renewable resource.
11. A renewable resource is a resource that can be

12. A resource is any available supply or thing needed to

live and work.
13. Some ways that fuel is used is for warmth, for cooking,
for drying clothes, for heating water, for generating
electricity, for manufacturing, for transportation.
14. The type of fuels that can produce the high
temperature needed to melt iron ore are fossil fuels.
15. The kind of fuel that is often used for transportation
purposes are fuels made from crude oil.
16. Thermal energy is often produced when energy
changes from one form to another.
17. Byproduct means a waste product or something
unwanted.
18. An example of a byproduct is heat given off by a light
bulb, heat from an engine or another machine, heat given off
by the human body.
19. If a machine produces too much byproduct the
machine could become damaged
20. Fluid in a radiator and a fan helps remove excess heat
from a car engine.
21. Another type of machine that uses a fan to remove
excess heat is a computer.

22. Sweat is a cooling system that God created for our

bodies.
