A complex contraption that performs a simple task, such as pouring a glass of lemonade.
What is the Rube Goldberg Machine?
The time it takes you to process information and take action.
What is reaction time?
Changes energy from one form to another.
What is a Generator?
The process by which earth’s surface is broken down into smaller pieces.
What is weathering?
When one object runs into another, energy is transferred.
What is energy transfer?
Ways that living things can detect what is happening around them.
What are your senses?
Store energy and change it from one form to another.
What are Batteries?
After pieces of the Earth are broken down through weathering, those pieces are moved through this process. It’s the process of moving things from one place to another.
What is Erosion?
When one object runs into another.
What is collision?
Made up of our head, spinal cord and a network of nerves. It tells us how to act and react to things.
What is the Nervous System?
Converts energy of sunlight into electrical energy.
What is Solar Cell?
After pieces of the Earth are carried by erosion they are deposited somewhere else. Deposition means to deposit things somewhere else.
What is Deposition?
When two objects touch each other.
What is contact?
Found on our tongue and help us taste.
What are taste buds?
