Forces
This internal force happens when an object is squeezed or pushed together.
Compression
This is the term for the living things in an ecosystem.
Biotic Factors
This is the star at the center of our solar system.
These are the three states of matter.
Solid, Liquid, Gas
These energy resources can naturally be replaced over time.
Renewable resources
This property allows materials like clay or playdough to permanently change shape.
Plasticity
This process allows plants to make glucose using sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide.
Photosynthesis
This robotic vehicle can move across the surface of planets and analyze rocks and soil.
A rover
This phase change happens when a liquid turns into a gas.
Evaporation
This renewable energy source uses moving air to generate electricity.
wind energy
This force resists movement between rubbing surfaces.
Friction
This greenhouse gas is released when fossil fuels are burned and traps heat in Earth’s atmosphere.
Carbon Dioxide
This force keeps planets orbiting the Sun.
Gravity
This is the temperature at which water freezes on the Celsius scale.
0°C?
This type of energy resource cannot be replaced quickly once it is used up.
Nonrenewable Resources
This internal force twists an object.
Torsion
This type of consumer eats both plants and animals.
Omnivore
This planet is known for its spectacular ring system.
Saturn
This process explains why liquids in a thermometer rise when heated.
Thermal Expansion
This energy source is burned for heat and light and is directly usable.
Wood
According to Newton’s Third Law, every action has this.
An equal and opposite reaction
This type of consumer eats dead plants, animals, and waste and returns nutrients back to the soil.
Decomposers
Name TWO tools scientists use to explore space.
Why are expansion joints important in bridges?
They allow materials to expand and contract with temperature changes without causing damage.
Name TWO energy sources that require processing before they can be used.
