True or False:
The more mass an object has, the more force is needed to move it. ___________
TRUE
Matter is made up of tiny particles called ______________________.
Atoms or Molecules.
A large, rotating storm system that forms over warm ocean water is called a ______________________.
Hurricane
True or False:
Energy can be created and destroyed. ___________
False.
The four major Earth systems are the geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and ______________________.

Give one real-life example of Newton’s Third Law (“For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction”):
Example: Kicking a ball at a wall, the ball will bounce off the wall and head back in your direction.
What happens to the particles of a substance when it is heated?
Particles move faster and spread apart when heated.
Example: Placing an ice cube on a hot stove, the ice cube will melt.
What is the main difference between weather and climate?
Weather = Day-to-day conditions such as sunny, rainy, windy, etc.
Climate = Average temperatures over a certain time.
Example: In the summer, the climate is usually hot. That is the average summer climate temperature.
Give one example of energy transfer in everyday life.
Examples may vary:
A toaster changes electrical energy to heat energy.
A ball falling converts potential energy to kinetic energy.
Solar panels convert light energy to electrical energy.
