What matters
This is the study of the world around us.
Science
The first step of the engineering process starts with this.
The problem
A method different scientists use to conduct their work.
The Scientific Method
What is the process of creating and building structures, products and systems by using math and science?
Engineering
This simple machine makes lifting things easier. It is a bar or a rod that tilts on a pivot called a fulcrum. A force is applied to one end of the lever and the other end a load is lifted.
Lever
The branch of science that deals with the study of the universe and all the rules that explain how it works. It is the study of how matter, forces, energy all interact.
Physics
After an engineer figures out the requirements needed to solve a problem, they usually build a smaller or simpler working model of their idea.
Prototype
A guess that a scientist will make based on what they already know or based on data initially collected and is the first step of the scientific method.
Hypothesis
A push or a pull.
Force
This simple machine reduces friction and makes moving things easier.
Wheel and axel
The three states of matter.
Solid, liquid, and gaseous state
What makes work easier?
A simple machine
This is a distant force that acts on us all the time. It prevents us from floating up into the air.
Gravity
Name 3 types of energy.
What is light, heat, sound, magnetic, and electrical, chemical, potential, kinetic, and nuclear energy.
A seesaw is an example of a . . .
First class lever
Matter is made up of very small particles. These particles are called what?
Atoms
Anything that takes up space and has mass. It is all around you.
Matter
This is a contact force that holds back the movement of sliding objects and can be found where two objects come into contact with one another.
Friction
What can help you get work done with less force over a greater distance?
Inclined plane
A wheelbarrow is an example of a . . .
Second class lever
Forces cannot happen without this type of thing.
Energy
What is the ability to do work?
Energy
When a force is applied to an object and causes the object to move.
Work
Energy cannot be created or destroyed, It can only be changed from one form to another. What is this law called?
Law of conservation of energy
A fishing rod is an example of a . . .
Third class lever
