# Energy Flow in Technological Systems: Hangman

This hangman game reviews key vocabulary from the Science 10 unit on energy conservation and conversion in mechanical and technological systems ([Topic](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/43858)). Students apply concepts of potential and kinetic energy, scalar quantities, and displacement when analyzing one-dimensional motion ([Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/43861)), and use efficiency to describe how much useful energy a device or system produces compared to the total energy input ([Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/43862)).

## How to play

- There are 4 words to guess, one per round. Each blank stands for one letter.
- Guess one letter at a time. If it is in the word, write it in every blank where it belongs; if not, write it in the wrong-guess spaces.
- You have 6 wrong guesses per round. Use the clue when you are stuck. The answer key gives all 4 words.

## Puzzles

### Round 1 (12 letters)

`D _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _`

Clue: A vector quantity showing the change in position of an object

Wrong guesses: ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___

### Round 2 (10 letters)

`E _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _`

Clue: A measure comparing useful output work to the total energy put into a device

Wrong guesses: ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___

### Round 3 (6 letters)

`S _ _ _ _ _`

Clue: A quantity that has magnitude only, with no direction

Wrong guesses: ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___

### Round 4 (9 letters)

`P _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _`

Clue: Energy stored due to an object's position or condition

Wrong guesses: ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___

## Answer key

- Round 1: **DISPLACEMENT**
- Round 2: **EFFICIENCY**
- Round 3: **SCALAR**
- Round 4: **POTENTIAL**
