Energy Response HW

Brad told his friend,
See that truck driving by? It is powered by sunlight.
Brad's friend said,
No it isn't, it's powered by gasoline.
Brad replied,
I know it burns gasoline but I still say it is powered by sunlight.

Explain why Brad said the truck was powered by sunlight.
Use the following key words: chemical energy, converted, fossil fuel, solar energy

  1. Yes because everything is moved with the sun and sun is solar energy solar energy make things happen or change as same as other types of energy for example chemical energy and more

  2. Yes because the sunlight makes the foselfules that make the oil that hall make gasoline to make the truck move.

  3. The truck needs the Sun. Because, about 40-65 million of years ago there was animals. What made the animals live? We'll if an animal was carnivore how would they survive? The carnivores eat other animals expecially herbivores. But how did the herbivores survive? They eat plants, so that is how they survive. But what made the plants survive? Solar energy, the energy from the Sun. In all those years the animals and plants died and then they converted into fossil fuels. And more millions of years passed and the fossil fuels piled up and they got burned. After all that time passed the fossil fuels converted into oil then the oil converted into gasoline. And what makes the truck/car move? Gasoline because of the chemical energy inside it. So that's why the truck needs the Sun to have motion.

  4. Yes, because the energy from the sun made the fossil fuels and then made oil millions of years later and people use the oil for gasoline.

  5. Yes because the solar energy can be converted into fossil fuels. And fossil fuels have chemical energy.

  6. yes because soaler enargy makes plants grow that gives us chemical enargy food that feeds anmals that die that create fossil fuals that get converted to gasline

  7. Yes because all energy comes from the sun. Solar energy is given to plants and animals that converte into fossil fuel in million of years. When fossil fuel (oil/gas) is burned it is produced a chemical energy that converted them into gasoline.

  8. Yes the solar energy goes is converted into fossil fuel . The fossil fuel has the chemical energy that makes the truck move.

  9. I think the answer is that oil is made from fossil fuel. Fossil fuel is made of animals that died many years ago. What did those animals eat they eat plants and the sun helped the plants grow . But when the animals died the bones go into the ground. After many years the bones tern coal and oil that is only two of the things it terns into. But oil is the one that makes the gasoline. So Brad was right.

  10. yes because solar energy can be converted into fossil fuels .And fossil fuels has chemical energy.and that makes the cars move

  11. The truck needs sun to move because the truck needs gasoline and the gasoline is made from oil. Oil comes from fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are what is left of animals and plants that lived a long time ago and those animals and plants needed the sun to survive.

  12. Beacause when a animal dies the sun will hit the animal and the animal will go down to the bottom of the floor and it beacomes oil and the oil will turn in to gassoline

  13. Yes because the soaler energy is one of the surses you use to get the gasoine. Because A long time ago animals that use to live that ate plants witch is called Herbivores and the herbivores ar like a source of food for the carnivores (meateaters). Witch is called chemical energy and then they all died and turned into fossil's witch is called fossil fuel witch is made into oil and the oil is in the gasoline.

  14. yes because the truck has solar energy on he top and I runs

  15. Yes, because gasoline is made from oil, and oil can be made out of fossil fuels deep underground and fossil fuels are the remains of animals that live long ago, and there food was processed with the suns help and the animals need that food to survive. That is why I said yes.

  16. Yes because the sun makes energy and energy from the sun is made of fossil fuels and that makes gasoline and that makes trucks move

  17. Brad said it was powered by sunlight because the gasoline has fuel, and the fuel is made by fossil uel wich is the fossils of the animals that lived before, like herbivores, because the hervivorse ate plants that got sunlight to grow, then when the hervivors died, they becaume fossil fuels and then the fossil fuels becaume fuel for the gasoline to make the truck run.

  18. Yes,trucks can be powered by solar energy.Dead animals are put in ground and after many years they are converted in fossil fuels and then in chemical energy used to move cars.

  19. Brad thought the truck was powered by the sun. Because solar energy is converted in the electricity. That electricity is put in to the car so the car is powered by sunlight.
