It's been a few days. Let's see if Mr. Mac still has what it takes to **SRE** this:
 * Monday **

1. Jenny measures the outside temperature as 16 degrees Celsius (°C), 61 degrees Fahrenheit (°F). She observes precipitation falling from the clouds in a solid form. What type of precipitation is Jenny most likely observing?

A.) Hail B.) Rain C.) Sleet D.) Snow

But, the question is, Do you remember how to **SRE** a question? 2. Jada discovered an old airplane kit in her closet. It had a rubber band that was attached to a propeller. When she turned the propeller, the rubber band became twisted and tight. When Jada released the plane, it flew about 75 meters. What type of energy was probably used to power the airplane?

A.) chemical B.) electrical C.) mechanical D.) solar

Let's check out the moon @http://lunaf.com/english/live-data/moon-phase/ Here's a cool way to look at the moon for the entire year! http://lossofthenight.blogspot.com/2013/11/moon-phase-calendar-for-2014.html

My turn to SRE a question: 1. Lee and Jason are investigating how light behaves when it hits various materials. They shine a flashlight at a mirror, a textbook, and a piece of clear plastic wrap. They drew diagrams with arrows to show how the light behaved in their investigation.
 * Tuesday**

What is TRUE about how light behaves with ALL THREE materials?

A.) Light travels in a straight line. B.) Light is bent by all of the materials. C.) Light is blocked by all of the materials. D.) Light travels through all of the materials.

Your turn to SRE this: 2. Yesterday, Jada discovered an old airplane kit in her closet. It had a rubber band that was attached to a propeller. When she turned the propeller 8 times, the rubber band became twisted and tight. When Jada released the plane, it flew about 75 meters. The second time she turned the propeller 5 times. When she released the plane, it flew about 65 meters. The third time she turned the propeller 10 times. When she released the plane this time, it flew about 85 meters. She began to notice a pattern.

If Jada wanted to turn this idea into an experiment, what could her testable question be?

A.) Should I repeat this three times and see if my pattern is valid? B.) If I twist the rubber band as tight as I can, will the plane fly farther? C.) How does the number of turns of the rubber band affect the distance the plane flies? D.) If I tape pennies on the wing of the plane will that change how the plane flies?

My turn to **SRE** a question: 1. The class investigated electric circuits using batteries, wires, and bulbs. The chemical energy in the battery transformed into electrical energy in the wires. What types of energy did the electrical energy transform into as it moved through the circuit?
 * Wednesday**

A.) Energy of motion and sound energy B.) Energy of motion and light energy C.) Sound energy and heat energy D.) Light energy and heat energy

Your turn to **SRE** a question: 2. After doing an investigation in class, Mya wants to show her family how electrically-charged objects can affect other objects. She blows up a balloon and rubs it on her shirt.

Which of the following will MOST LIKELY happen when Judy puts the electrically-charged balloon near other objects?

A.) It will attract a small magnet. B.) It will repel a small magnet. C.) It will attract a small piece of paper. D.) It will repel a small piece of paper.

My turn to SRE a question: 1. On New Years Eve, Mikal and his family went to the Jacksonville Landing to watch the fireworks display. The fireworks store chemical energy. When they are set off, they give off other forms of energy. What are those forms of energy?
 * Thursday**

A.) Radiant, mechanical, and sound energy B.) Sound, electrical, and thermal energy C.) Thermal, radiant, and sound energy D.) Mechanical, thermal, and electrical energy

Your turn to **SRE** a Video question: media type="custom" key="24799836" 2. Wind power is a technology that relies on a renewable energy resource. Wind power changes energy from the Wind into a form of energy that can be used to light our homes and run household appliances.

What form of energy must Wind energy be changed into in order to run household appliances?

A.) Chemical energy B.) Electrical energy C.) Radiant energy D.) Thermal energy

It's my turn to **SRE** a video question: media type="custom" key="24799880" 1. In many electrical power plants, non-renewable fossil fuels like coal and oil are burned to boil water and generate steam. This steam is then used to help spin turbines that generate electricity. What type of energy is given off by the fossil fuels and used to boil the water?
 * Friday**

A.) Radiant energy <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Aphont,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.5;">B.) Chemical energy <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Aphont,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.5;">C.) Thermal energy <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Aphont,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.5;">D.) Sound energy

Your turn to **SRE** a question: 2. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Aphont,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.5;">Christine is getting ready for school on a cold day in February. She wants to make sure her hair is completely dry before she leaves her house. She plugs her hair dryer into the wall outlet and turns it on.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Aphont,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Which of the following describes one of the steps involved in using energy to dry Jennifer's hair?

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Aphont,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.5;">A.) Thermal energy is changed into mechanical energy, which makes the motor in the hair dryer move. B.) <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Aphont,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.5;">Electrical energy is changed into heat energy, which makes the motor in the hair dryer move. C.) <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Aphont,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.5;">Mechanical energy is changed into heat energy, which makes the motor in the hair dryer move. D.) E<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Aphont,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.5;">lectrical energy is changed into mechanical energy, which makes the motor in the hair dryer move.
