Properties Of Matter
This property tells us if an object will sink or float.
What is relative density?
A push or pull is called this.
What is Force?
Energy from the Sun is called this.
What is Light or What is Solar Energy?
The planet we live on.
What is Earth?
The breaking down of rock into smaller pieces.
What is weathering?
This resource is found underground and is made from ancient plant material.
What is coal?
Nonliving parts of an ecosystem like water and sunlight.
What are abiotic Factors?
Webbed feet and thick fur are examples of this type of adaptation.
What are a structural adaptation?
A metal paper clip is attracted to this force.
What is magnetism?
This force slows things down when they rub together.
What is friction?
Energy that is stored in food and fuel.
What is chemical Energy?
Earth spins on this invisible line, causing day and night.
What is an AXIS?
The movement of sediment from one place to another
What is Erosion?
These resources can be replaced naturally in a short time.
What are renewable resources?
All the living things in an environment.
What are biotic Factors?
This behavior is inherited and not learned.
What is an instinct?
This method can be used to find the volume of an irregular object.
What is water displacement?
When forces are equal, the object’s motion will do this.
What stay the same (no CHange)?
When a toaster turns electrical energy into heat, this is happening.
What is energy transformation?
This object reflects the Sun's light and goes through phases.
What is the moon?
This landform is formed by water cutting through rock over millions of years.
What is a canyon
The practice of using resources wisely to make them last longer.
What is conservation?
This type of relationship helps organisms meet their needs in an ecosystem.
What is interdependence?
A bear hibernating in the winter is an example of this kind of adaptation.
What is a behavioral adaptation?
This type of mixture cannot be easily separated and often involves dissolving.
What is a solution?
A ramp is used to reduce this force when moving objects upward.
What is gravity?
A guitar string makes sound because it does this.
What is vertibraes?
Earth’s rotation takes this many hours.
What is 24 hours?
More specifically: Earth rotates once in about 24 hours with respect to the Sun, but once every 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4 seconds with respect to other distant stars (see below). Earth's rotation is slowing slightly with time; thus, a day was shorter in the past. This is due to the tidal effects the Moon has on Earth's rotation.
A glacier creates this U-shaped landform through erosion.
What is a U-Shaped Valley
This energy resource comes from the remains of ancient sea organisms.
What are oil and Natural Gas?
A group of the same species living in the same place.
What is a population?
These are behaviors learned from experience or other organisms.
What are learned behaviors?
These two properties can be used to classify matter besides physical state: one is how much space it takes up, the other is how much matter it has.
What are volume and Mass?
When a soccer ball is kicked and changes direction, this kind of force was applied.
What is an unbalanced force?
These are the 6 main forms of energy taught in 5th grade.
What are mechanical, electrical, light, thermal, sound, and chemical?
The pattern of the Moon’s phases is called this.
What is the Lunar Cycle?
These are the three main processes that shape Earth's surface over time.
What is weathering, erosion, and deposition?
Trees, sunlight, and wind are examples of these types of resources.
What are renwable resources?
This is a job or role an organism plays in an ecosystem.
What is a niche?
This adaptation allows organisms to better survive and reproduce in their environment.
What is an adapations for survival?
