Name that Sphere!
The sphere that contains living organisms.
What is the Biosphere?
Water lilies clean the water they live in.
What are the Hydrosphere and Biosphere?
A model that shows how energy and matter flows throughout an ecosystem.
What is a food web (or food chain)?
This occurs when two substances are combined but no new substance is created and the changes can be "undone" (for example, dissolving salt in water): A) physical change, B) chemical change, C) metaphysical change, or D) gravitational change
What is A) physical change?
What is the position of the sun in the sky?
This layer means "rock sphere".
What is the Geosphere?
In places where there is more water vapor in the air, temperatures are higher.
What are the Atmosphere and the Hydrosphere?
An organism that makes its own food using energy from the sun.
What is a producer?
This occurs when a new substance is made and the change cannot be "undone" (for example, combining baking soda and vinegar to create a gas): A) physical change, B) chemical change, C) metaphysical change, D) gravitational change
What is B) chemical change?
This is the time of day when your shadow is the shortest.
What is noon (12:00 pm)?
This sphere contains all of the water on Earth.
What is the Hydrosphere?
Heat causes rock to expand. If rocks are exposed to high heat over a long period of time, they begin to crumble.
What are the Atmosphere and the Geosphere?
The process by which plants use energy from the sun to make their own "food".
What is photosynthesis?
One way that salt can be removed from ocean water.
What is evaporation
This is why we have different seasons.
What is the Earth's orbit (or revolution) around the sun?
This sphere is the body of gases surrounding our planet.
What is the Atmosphere?
A source of air pollution comes from cows releasing methane into the air.
What are the Biosphere and Atmosphere?
An organism that gets energy it needs from other organisms.
This is where the "missing mass" goes when you combine baking soda and vinegar (hint: the mass isn't actually missing even though the number on the scale goes down...)
What is in the form of the new gas created?
This is what causes night and day.
What is the Earth's rotation on its axis?
Clouds are a part of these two spheres.
What are the Atmosphere and Hydrosphere?
A hurricane that hasn't made landfall yet.
What are the Hydrosphere and the Atmosphere?
An organism that gets energy from breaking down dead matter.
What is a decomposer?
These are the 3 phases of matter.
What are solid, liquid, and gas?
This is what causes us to see different constellations in the night sky throughout the year.
