Life Science
What is photosynthesis?
This force keeps planets in orbit around the Sun.
What is gravity?
What is potential energy?
This is the smallest unit of matter.
What is an atom?
These are the three main types of rock.
What are igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic?
The process by which living things make energy (and release carbon dioxide and water).
What is cellular respiration?
This is the path an object takes as it moves around another object in space.
What is orbit?
This causes an object to move.
What is an unbalanced force? (force = a push or a pull)
This type of change forms a new substance.
What is a chemical change?
This process breaks down rocks into smaller pieces or sediment.
The organelle where all genetic information is stored.
What is the nucleus?
This phase occurs when the Moon is completely illuminated as seen from Earth.
What is a full moon?
This happens when energy is transferred through vibrations in matter.
What is sound?
This subatomic particle has a negative charge.
What is an electron?
This layer of Earth is made of molten rock and moves slowly via convection currents.
What is the mantle?
Name at least two organelles that are only found in plant cells and not animal cells.
What are chloroplasts, cell wall, and/or central vacuole.
What is planet/star, solar system, galaxy, universe
This force opposes/resists motion.
What is friction?
This substance is made of two or more elements chemically combined.
What is a compound?
These boundaries occur where tectonic plates move away from each other.
What are divergent boundaries?
These are the levels of organization of living things (from simplest to most complex).
What are cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, organism?
This is the visible surface of the Sun.
What is the photosphere?
The speed of an object that traveled 20 meters in 2 seconds. You must say the correct units to get the points. (hint: speed = distance/time)
What is 10m/s?
This scale measures how acidic or basic a substance is.
What is the pH scale?
This process moves sediment from one place to another.
What is erosion?
