Light & Matter
How does light travel?
in a straight line
Why does the mass of a closed cup system not change over time?
Because nothing can get in our out of the system.
Water cycle
the process in which water continuously moves from Earth's surface into the atmosphere and back again.
Igneous Rock
Rock formed from cooled magma or lava.
what is the cell that Structure: Circles of cells spaced far apart, but touching each other; Function: Strong but lightweight support for the weight and structure of the body
bone tissue
Reflects
What happens when light bounces off something.
Where do the water droplets that form on the outside of a glass of ice water come from?
They come from the water vapor in the air around the glass.
Atmosphere
the mixture of gases that surround a planet.
Metamorphic rock
Rock that has been changed by heat and pressure.
supports an organism's body, protects its internal structures, and allows the body to move
Skeletal System
What happens when light hits a regular mirror?
Most of the light reflects or bounces off.
The fancy cup was double-walled and the regular cup was single-walled.
The fancy cup was double-walled and the regular cup was single-walled.
Evaporation
the process by which a liquid changes into a gas.
Weathering
The process of breaking down rocks into smaller pieces by wind, water, ice, or plants.
collects and responds to information from inside and outside of the body, sends instructions to the rest of the body about what to do
Nervous System
What happens when light hits a one-way mirror?
Some light goes through and some light reflects.
What has to happen in order for evaporation to take place?
Molecules of liquid water have to gain enough energy to break free and go up into the air as water vapor.
Precipitation
water that falls from the air to Earth's surface.
Erosion
The process of transporting weathered rock particles by wind or water.
A change in the internal or external environment that causes the nervous system to react.
Stimulus
What happened when we looked through our box models
There was a reflection on the light side and we could see through on the dark side.
When we did our investigations we found that cups with lids on them
Stayed cold or hot longer than the cups without lids on them.
Runoff
water that does not soak into the ground and that flows across Earth's surface.
Deposition
The process of sediment settling down and accumulating in a new location.
Eyelid reflex when something is coming towards your face very quickly; Pushing food through your digestive system
