This part of the fractions identifies the amount of the parts we are talking about.

Numberator

100

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The statement means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. The size of the forces on the first object equals the size of the force on the second object.

Newton's Third Law

100

This refers to a physical phenomenon produced by the motion of electric charge, resulting in attractive and repulsive forces between objects.

Magnetism

100

This German-born theoretical physicist developed the theory of relativity, one of the two pillars of modern physics.  His photograph is one of the most recognized faces.

Albert Einstein

100

In 1928 Alexander Fleming, a Scottish scientists, accidentally discovered this medicine still used today to treat infections such as strep throat.

Penicillin

200

This is the smallest multiple of 2 or more denominators.

LDC

200

An object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force. It may be seen as a statement about inertia, that objects will remain in their state of motion unless a force acts to change the motion.

Newton's First Law - The Law of Inertia

200

This refers to the ability to do work.

Energy

200

This English theoretical physicist, cosmologist, and author, was director of research at the Centre for Theoretical Cosmology at the University of Cambridge England at the time of his death in March 2018.

Stephen Hawking

200

In the 1800s Marie Skłodowska Curie was a Polish and naturalized-French physicist and chemist who conducted pioneering research on radioactivity. While her discovery ultimately led to her death, her research helps doctors diagnose injuries.  Name her discovery.

X-Ray

300

When a fraction is in simplest terms, this is the GCF of the numerator and denominator.

1

300

Force = Mass x Acceleration

Newton's Second Law

300

This refers to vibrations that travel through the air or another medium and can be heard when they reach a person's or animal's ear. 

Sound

300

This mathematician (know for the electric car named after him) was a Serbian-American inventor, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, and futurist who is best known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current electricity supply system.

Nikola Tesla

300

Louis Pasteur investigated with diseases research. He found that he could make a weak form of a disease that would cause people to become immune to the stronger form of the disease. His discovery is called ______.

Vaccinations

1/2   x   1/3   =

1/6

400

This refers to the speed of something in a given directions.

Velosity

400

The two terms that refer to the top and bottom of a sound wave.

peak and trough

400

This Italian astronomer, physicist and engineer, sometimes described as a polymath. He has been called the "father of observational astronomy", the "father of modern physics", the "father of the scientific method", and the "father of modern science".  He put in prison for his claims that the Earth is not the center of the universe.

Galileo Galilei

400

In 1953, Crick and Watson were able to put together an accurate model of the _____ structure. The model used a twisting "double helix" shape. This model would help scientists throughout the world in learning more about genetics.

DNA
