Developing theories using many lines of evidence and explaining natural events are two practices of this.

What is how people use science?

100

The measurement of 45N in the image below represents this.

What is the magnitude (size) of the force.

100

The diagram below shows this.


What are magnets that are attracted to each other?

100

The evaporation of water and the growth of green plants are two processes involved in this.

What is the flow of solar energy through the Earth system?

100

This characteristic is related to potential energy but not kinetic energy.

What is an object's height?

200

The variable in an experiment that is measured.

What is the dependent (or responding) variable?

200

The type of force that requires contact. 

Normal force.

200

This type of force acts between charged particles.

What is an electrical force?

200

Clouds are made up of tiny droplets of water. They exist as part of these two spheres in the Earth system. 

What are the atmosphere and the hydrosphere?

200

This word describes the energy of the rubber band in the photo.

What is elastic?

300

New technology, telescopes that can detect distant galaxies, microscopes that can see inside of cells, etc.

What are examples of how engineering affects science?

300

The graph below shows a car's velocity over time.

This time period shows the greatest acceleration for the car. 

What is between 0 and 1 second?

This table lists some characteristics of two planets.

              Earth                  Venus

Mass       5.97 x 1024kg      4.87 x 1024kg

Gravity    9.8 m/s2             8.9 m/s2

Diameter 12,756 km           12,104 km

This is the reason why an object weighs less on Venus than on Earth.


What is the lower gravitational force on Venus?

300

The layer in this model that represents the coolest part of the geosphere.


What is layer A?

300

A student drops a rubber ball onto a surface. Assume that this is a closed system. The ball bounces, but each successive bounce is shorter than the one before it. Eventually, the ball comes to a stop.

This provides evidence that supports the idea that energy is conserved in this closed system. 

What is the ball makes a sound with each bounce, suggesting that some kinetic energy transformed into sound?

400

The main benefit of the type of model shown below.

 

What is showing a pattern for determining the side lengths of a triangle?

400

The way speed and velocity are alike.

What is that they both describe a rate of motion?

400

The diagram below shows a ball that is dropped and allowed to bounce.

These two sections show the ball's velocity increasing.

What are sections A and C?

400

The model below shows a common annual pattern of sandy beaches affected by water.

These are two types of changes to Earth's surface illustrated in the model above.

What are the erosion of sand from the beach during winter and the deposition of sand onto the beach during summer?
400

The energy transfer shown below.


What is the bat losing kinetic energy and the ball gaining kinetic energy?

500

A triple beam balance or an electrical balance.

What are tools that could be used to measure mass?

500

The rope in the photo begins at rest. The students on the right apply a force of 100N to the right. The students on the left apply a force of 100N to the left.

This is the most likely effect of the forces being applied to the rope. 

What is the rope will not move?

500

The chart below shows the gravitational force between each pair of objects.

This pair is experiencing the least gravitational force.

What is the person and the tennis ball?

500

The image shows a delta near Apalachicola, Florida.

The process that likely caused the formation of this delta is this. 

What is the deposition of sediment at the mouth of a river?

500
