Light and Matter
This type of wave allows us to see the world around us.
Light
This type of energy is transferred from a warmer to a cooler object.
Heat
This describes the day to day conditions of the atmosphere.
Weather
A natural event that can cause damage to people, property, or the environment is called:
This is the basic unit of life.
Cell
This occurs when light bounces off a surface such as a mirror.
Reflection
In this state of matter, particles move the fastest.
Gas
This process changes liquid water into water vapor.
Evaporation
This weather hazard is measured using the EF scale.
Tornado
This scientist first observed and named cells.
Robert Hooke
A material that allows most light to pass through clearly is called:
Transparent
This type of heat transfer occurs when heat moves through direct contact.
Conduction
This process forms clouds when water vapor cools.
Condensation
Scientists use this tool to detect and measure earthquakes
Seismograph
An organism made of only one cell is described by this term.
This happens when light bends as it passes from one material to another.
Refraction
This type of heat transfer occurs when warm fluids rise and cool fluids sink.
Convection
The instrument used to measure air pressure.
Barometer
People cannot stop natural hazards but they can do this to reduce their effects.
Prepare or mitigate
This organelle is known as the control center of the cell.
Nucleus
A student shines a flashlight through a clear window. Most of the light passes through the glass. This property of the glass is called this.
Transmission
This type of heat transfer allows energy from the Sun to reach Earth.
Radiation
These two forces drive the movement of water through Earth's water cycle.
Sun's energy and gravity
Knowing a hazard may happen in the future is called:
Prediction
Cell, tissue, organ, organ system, and organism are examples of this biological hierarchy.
