Théorie Cinétique
Particles in this state of matter have enough kinetic energy to break their fixed bonds and slide past one another, allowing them to take the shape of their container while maintaining a constant volume.
What is a liquid?
Working hard for your circulatory system, these specialized, donut-shaped cells lack a nucleus so they can pack in as much oxygen-carrying hemoglobin as possible.
What are red blood cells?
This term describes the amount of force applied perpendicular to the surface of an object per unit area
What is pressure?
If you want to start a club for students who share the same first name, you'll only be sending out invitations to these two pairs of students
Who are Lucy & Lucy, and Ethan & Ethan?
These two cats belong to Mlle Delahunt.
Who are Banjo and Junie?
If you take a tightly sealed plastic water bottle out of a hot car and put it into a cold fridge, the bottle will cave inward because the air particles inside are doing this.
What is slowing down and colliding less often? (or taking up less space)
These long, branch-like cells are the primary building blocks of the nervous system, using rapid electrical signals to send messages between your brain and the rest of your body.
What are neurons (or nerve cells)?
Named after a famous French mathematician, this is the standard unit used to measure fluid pressure.
What is the Pascal?
The most common beginning letter for last names in 806; this letter starts 6 of the 806 students' last names!
"M" (MacFarlane, MacLellan, MacLeod, McKim, McNulty, and Murphy)?
This is Mlle Delahunt's boyfriend, Todd's job (hint: it is important to their male cat's origin story)
What is a plumber?
When you spray a can of shaving cream, the foam expands to fill your hand. The millions of tiny air pockets trapped inside the bubbles are made of a substance in this state.
What is a gas?
This vital organ system depends on specialized cells called macrophages and T-cells to hunt down, recognize, and destroy dangerous bacteria and viruses before they can make you sick.
What is the immune system?
To find the force exerted on a piston with a surface area of 0.5 square meters sitting under a constant system pressure of 4,000 Pascals, you must perform this mathematical operation on those two numbers.
What is multiplication?
Pass the tartan! These are the last names of all the students whose last names begin with the traditional Gaelic "Mac" or "Mc".
Who are Isla (MacFarlane), Rowen (MacLellan), Lucy (MacLeod), George (McKim), & Taylor (McNulty)?
These are the two countries besides Canada where Mlle Delahunt has lived.
What are France & China?
If you compress a gas by pushing down the plunger of a sealed syringe, this is what happens to the actual size of the individual gas particles themselves.
What is nothing (they stay the same size—only the empty space between them shrinks)?
When your body systems detect a physical injury or infection, mast cells release a chemical called histamine, triggering this healthy but uncomfortable defense system response marked by redness, heat, and swelling.
What is inflammation (or the inflammatory response)?
Because the oil used in hydraulic systems possesses this mechanical property, it can hold a heavy load rigidly in a precise position, unlike the air used in pneumatic systems.
What is incompressibility (or being incompressible)?
This student boasts the longest full name on the roster at 27 total letters.
Who is Garrett Andrew Astley Robinson?
What are Dalhousie University and Mount Saint Vincent University?
A popcorn kernel pops because a tiny drop of liquid water trapped inside gets heated up, causing its particles to move incredibly fast and collide violently until they burst the shell. During this process, the water is changing into this state.
What is a gas (or water vapor/steam)?
Derived from the ancient Greek word for bone, this 5-letter prefix is found at the beginning of medical terms arthritis, and blast.
What is osteo-?
This is why Pascal's law allows someone to press on a small plunger and lift a large car.
What is the property of an enclosed fluid to distribute pressure equally on all surfaces, multiplying the output force by whatever ratio the larger piston's area is to the smaller plunger's area?
It's the ultimate chameleon on the roster: a name that appears three separate times across three different students, shifting its position within their full names
What is James?
James, Molly Isabel Dickison (Last name)
Berger, Henry James (Middle name)
Purdy, Hudson James (Middle name)
This is the name of one of Mlle Delahunt's immediate family members.
Who is Nancy, David or Kevin?
