Infrared Radiation
What are the three phases of deglutition listed in the Anatomy & Physiology slideshow?
Oral, pharyngeal, and esophageal
In Solar system, according to Kepler's Second Law, at what point in its orbit does a planet move fastest?
Perihelion
According to the Chemistry slideshow, ionic compounds consist of these two types of elements, while covalent compounds contain only nonmetals.
Metal & a Nonmetal
In Hovercarft, what law states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, explaining why pushing air backward drives the hovercraft forward?
Newton's Third Law
This animal has three hearts and blue blood, but somehow still isn't an alien.
Octopus
What are the three phases of deglutition listed in the Anatomy & Physiology slideshow?
Sentinel surveillance
In Remote Sensing, what type of resolution measures how long it takes a sensor to re-image the same geographic location?
Temporal resolution
In Thermodynamics, this phase change occurs when a substance goes directly from a solid to a gas.
Sublimation
In Boomilever, what type of force acts on the bottom members of a Boomilever, pushing them toward the wall and making them vulnerable to buckling?
Compression
If you somehow had a bathtub big enough, this planet could theoretically float in water because its average density is lower than water's.
Saturn
According to the Botany slideshow, what are the three stages of the Calvin cycle?
Carbon fixation, reduction of PGA into G3P, and regeneration of RuBP from G3P
In Meteorology, what type of thunderstorm is the strongest and longest-lasting, contains a rotating mesocyclone, and is most likely to produce tornadoes and hail?

In Disease Detectives, in a case-control study, this measurement compares the odds of exposure among sick people with the odds of exposure among healthy people.
Odds Ratio
In Remote Sensing, what type of scanner captures an entire row of data at once using a long line of sensors, unlike a scanner that sweeps back and forth?
Pushbroom scanner
According to the Thermodynamics slideshow's explanation of Gibbs, increasing the number of these possible arrangements of a system results in greater entropy.
Microstates
