Here are some key terms and concepts that are commonly taught in science classes for students in grades 8
Force: A push or pull that can cause a change in the motion or shape of an object.
Energy: The ability to do work or cause change. There are many different forms of energy, including kinetic energy (the energy of motion) and potential energy (stored energy).
Work: The transfer of energy from one object to another, or the application of a force over a distance.
Power: The rate at which work is done or energy is transferred. It is calculated by dividing the amount of work done by the time it takes to do the work.
Heat: The energy that is transferred from one body to another as a result of a difference in temperature.
