Light & Matter
How do we see objects?
Light bounces off the objects and travels to our eyes.
water that falls from the air to Earth's surface.
Precipitation
Kinetic enegy is
the energy of movement or motion.
The process where minerals dissolved in water fill the spaces between sediment particles, gluing them together.The process where minerals dissolved in water fill the spaces between sediment particles, gluing them together.
Cementation
The control center of the cell. It is the largest organelle in the cell and it contains most of the DNA of the cell.
Nucleus
Something that cannot be easily explained.
convection
the process by which a gas changes into a liquid.
Condensation
When heat is transferred through contact between 2 items it is called
conduction
Molten rock beneath the Earth's surface.
Magma
Another organelle inside the nucleus which is responsible for making ribosomes.
Nucleolus
a mirror that only has one reflective side i.e. it can be seen through on one side but the other side only reflects.
one-way mirror
the mixture of gases that surround a planet.
Atmosphere
The water droplets that form on the outside of a cup of ice water are there because of a process called
condensation
Molten rock that reaches the Earth's surface through a volcanic eruption.
Lava
Contains the genetic information for cells to grow, live, perform their functions, and reproduce.
what is DNA
How a one-way mirror is made.
A layer of one-way mirror film is put on a layer of glass.
the process by which a liquid changes into a gas.
Evaporation
Particles of a hot liquid move faster because
they have more kinetic energy than particles of a colder liquid.
The process where land is raised due to tectonic forces.
uplift
Receives the small proteins from the ER and assembles them into larger, more complex proteins. Then, it either stores the large proteins or packages them for shipping to a specific part of a cell.
Golgi Apparatus
Which part of the eye is the opening which lets in light?
pupil
Earth's surface into the atmosphere and back again.
Water cycle
The ice cup from our unit warms up over time because
the higher kinetic energy of the particles of the warmer air around the cup is transferred to the colder particles of the cup when the particles of the air collide with the cup.
A fracture in the Earth's crust where tectonic plates meet.
Fault
A gel-like substance that fills the inside of a cell.
