a fork falls to the ground. what is the force that moves the fork to the floor?
what is gravity?
The breaking of sediments
what is weathering?
What an object does when it is more dense than water
it sinks

M V E M J S U N
natural body that revolves in an orbit around a star
What is a planet?
the process of sediments being moved away
What is Erosion?
when a liquid is heated and changes to a gas
what is Evaporation
W/C: Last week there was less than an inch of precipitation near Matzke Elementary.
what is weather?
What does a carnivore eat?
other consumers(meat)
They prevent or stop energy from passing through easily.
What is an Insulator?
An open circuit means the light will be
off
these are made when light hits an object or surface, and isn't able to bounce or pass through it
what are shadows?
this causes day and night on Earth
Earth rotating on its axis

365 days
giant mass of burning hydrogen and helium at middle of solar system
What is the sun/star?
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
give an example of a living thing interacting with a nonliving thing
(: answers vary!
what does a herbivore eat?
what are producers
Name an item that is less dense than water
Substances such as; oil, cork, cardboard
This is the process called when leaves on trees use sunlight for energy?
What is Photosynthesis?
When something, usually a solid is added to a liquid and it "disappears". Some examples include salt water, kool-aid and soda, not to mention lemon aide.
What is a solution
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)
this scientific tool is used to measure the force of an object in newtons
what is a spring scale?
long term weather patterns
What is climate?
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?
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 something the moon and sun have in common that the Earth doesn't
no seasons, no life, no weather
the two steps where pressure and heat "glue" layers of sediments together to form sedimentary rock
what is compaction and cementation
a path that one object takes around another object
What is an orbit?
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 made a V-shape valley?
Moving water in a river
made from decomposing plants and animals over millions of years
What are Fossil fuels?
Name an item that is more dense than water
Items such as; coins, paper clip, washer
this force causes an object to slow down as it passes on a surface
what is friction?
This fossil fuel is only made from dead plants and formed in a swamp
What is coal?
this is the function of tendrils on a plant
what is to reach for sunlight
How many days does it take for the lunar (moon) cycle?
28 days(about a month)
