you matter <3
Name an item that is less dense than water
Substances such as; oil, cork, cardboard
What are the 3 processes that slowly change land to create landforms, sedimentary rock, and fossil fuels?
What is weathering, erosion, and deposition
What will happen if a switch is closed in a circuit
the light bulb will turn on
What are biotic factors?
What are living and once-living things?
This is one trip around the sun. The closer the planet the faster the trip. The Earth takes 365 days to do this.
an orbit
Name an item that is more dense than water
Items such as; coins, paper clip, washer
the process of sediments being moved away
What is Erosion?
What is how does light travel?
what is in a straight line
what would be the best way to separate sugar and water
W/C: Last week there was less than an inch of precipitation near Matzke Elementary.
what is weather?
A material that allows heat or electrical energy to pass through it easily (definition, not example)
Conductor (+50 if you can name an example)
made from decomposing plants and animals over millions of years
What are Fossil fuels?
when heat is added to a liquid and changes into a gas
what is Evaporation
What an object does when it is more dense than water
it sinks
if I want to see the sunrise in the morning, what direction should I face?
what is the east?
Light rays bouncing off a smooth, shiny surface is called
what is Reflection
This fossil fuel is only made from dead plants and formed in a swamp
What is coal?
How you would separate a mixture of sand and iron filings.
what is use a magnet
This is the process called when leaves on trees use sunlight for energy?
What is Photosynthesis?
this causes day and night on Earth
Earth rotating on its axis
They prevent or stop energy from passing through easily.
What is an Insulator?
the two steps where pressure and heat "glue" layers of sediments together to form sedimentary rock
what is compaction and cementation
long term weather patterns (need at least 30 years of data)
What is climate?
This structure helps a plant reach sunlight by climbing up an object or another organism
How long does it take for Earth to orbit the sun?
365 days
An open circuit means the light will be
off
What made a V-shape valley?
Moving water in a river
What is the bending of light when it travels from one medium to another?
what is refraction
give an example of a biotic factor interacting with an abiotic factor
(: answers vary!
this causes the sun to appear to move across the sky from the East to West
The earth is spinning on its axis making it look like the Sun is moving (Earth's rotation)
a path that one object takes around another object
What is an orbit?
How a canyon is made
What is a river cutting and moving sediment(weathering and erosion)
When something, usually a solid is added to a liquid and it "disappears"
What is a solution/soluble/dissolves
What is soil?
Where the sun appears to be located at noon
what is directly above the Earth
a clear triangular object that bends light and breaks it into its colors.
What is a prism
A U-shape valley is made by?
The movement of a glacier over a valley
what process(es) form sand dunes?
erosion and deposition (+50 bonus if you name the agent of change that caused these processes)
When an ant is digging in dirt--what type of interaction is this?
what is a biotic factor interacting with an abiotic factor?
This provides the energy for the water cycle to keep going and going.
what is the sun
What is the difference between a mixture and a solution?
answers vary; solutions involve a solid that dissolves in a liquid
this landform is made by the buildup of sediments when a river empties into a larger body of water(such as the ocean)
what is a delta?
these are made when light hits an object or surface, and isn't able to bounce or pass through it
what are shadows?
these break down dead organisms
What are decomposers?
how water changes state during condensation
When a gas(water vapor) cools and changes back to a liquid
