Thermal Energy
What is true about conduction?
Conduction is the transfer of energy as heat between particles as they collide within a substance.
Is is Ms. Campbell or McCampbell?
Ms. Campbell
A student uses a microscope to observe an organism with cells that contain a nucleus and many chloroplasts.
Based on the observations, the student claims the organism is a plant cell.
The organism has many chloroplasts
The Pacific White-Sided Dolphin uses echolocation through a series of clicks to locate food as it swims.
This is an example of which wave behavior?
A. reflection
B. absorption
C. refraction
D. transmission
Why are computer models of hurricanes important tools for meteorologists?
They use data from many sources to simulate the path and predict the intensity of the storm.
A student leaves a bowl of ice cream on a table, where it turns to a liquid. The student places the liquid ice
cream back into the freezer overnight.
How do the motion of the particles in the ice cream change when it is placed in the freezer?
The particles slow down and move closer together
6th grade Honor's Day is when?
5/29/25
A student claims that onions are not living things. The student places a small section of onion root on a microscope slide to view it at a higher magnification. Using the microscope, the student is able to see details of the onion root that are not visible to the naked eye.
Based on the microscope slide, which statement disproves the student's claim?
A. Onion cells use energy.
B. Onions respond to stimuli.
C. Onions engage in movement.
D. Onion roots are made up of cells
A student is exploring how color filters work. She shines a flashlight with white light through a red color filter. What
color light appear, and what is the best explanation for what happened?
The light will appear red. The color filter transmitted only the red frequency of light.
Arrange a sequence of particle diagrams representing decreasing kinetic energy of particles.

How many notebook checks will we have by the end of this school year?
8 notebook checks
A person riding a bicycle wants to move the bicycle forward. She moves her legs up and down on the bicycle's pedals. Then the rider wants to stop the bicycle. She stops pedaling and the bicycle slows. She takes one of her feet off a pedal and puts her foot on the ground to stop the bicycle and stay upright.
Which of these best identifies a pathway of signals in the rider's body, as described in this scenario?
Nervous system --> musculoskeletal system --> nervous system -->musculoskeletal system
Which layer of rock is the oldest?
layer 1,2,3, or 4? #1 is the top layer
Layer 4 is the oldest.
Which of the following best explains how frontal boundaries can lead to severe storms?
A. Cold air flows down the side of a mountain away from the ocean.
B. Cold air remains over the ocean for an extended period of time.
C. Warm air is forced up rapidly by a cold air mass.
D. Warm air rises slowly over a cold air mass.
As the water is heated, the cooler, denser water at the surface pushed the warmer water to the top. What do the arrows in the drawing most likely represent?
Convection currents
Boots on the what?... You and your group must sing the song for the points.
Let Me Hear You!!!
Which of the following best describes how the muscular system works with the digestive system?
A. They work together to pump blood throughout the body.
B. They work together for support and movement of the body.
C. They work together to pull and push air into and out of the body.
D. They work together to chemically and mechanically break down food.
DAILY Double!
Two Oldest Must play Rock, Paper, Scissors. Winner will then answer the groups next question alone.
Why does a convection current form over the equatorial region?
A. Equatorial areas receive more direct sunlight. This causes warm air to rise at the equator. When this warm air moves away from the equator, it begins to cool and sink.
B. Equatorial areas receive more direct sunlight. This causes cool air to rise at the equator. When this cool air moves away from the equator, it begins to warm and rise.
C. Equatorial areas receive more indirect sunlight. This causes cool air to rise at the equator. When this cool air moves away from the equator, it begins to warm and rise.
D. Equatorial areas receive more indirect sunlight. This causes warm air to rise at the equator. When this warm air moves away from the equator, it begins to cool and rise.
Leo lives in the desert, where outdoor temperatures can vary greatly from morning to night. Early one morning. Leo notices that his bicycle tire is flat, so he pumps air into both tires until they feel hard when he squeezes. He then goes for a ride, although it is cold outside (-3.9oC). Later that afternoon, Leo takes another ride with his friend, Juan. The day is now much warmer (38oC). Part of the way through this ride Leo hears a loud pop and sees that one of his tires has gone flat.
Part 2 What effects did Leo’s actions in Part 1 have on the pressure and volume of the tire? Identify if each factor increased or decreased. Select one choice in each column.
Pressure- Increased
Volume- Increased
How many school days are in a year?
190 days
Which system controls the movement of heart muscle cells via signals from nerve cells?
Nervous System
Which would provide evidence of seafloor spreading?
A. higher levels of salinity in the ocean water
B. stronger currents at the surface of the ocean
C. greater reproduction levels for organisms at the bottom of the ocean
D. the age of rocks closer to the divergent boundary are younger than rocks further away from the boundary
Which of the following provides evidence for the energy that causes evaporation?
A. Water droplets fall to the surface due to gravity.
B. Water vapor cools and loses energy, forming liquid droplets.
C. Water molecules come together to form a crystalline structure.
D. Water molecules move apart and vibrate quickly, forming water vapor.
