100

 a testable statement that relies on information gathered from observation

Hypothesis

100

A push or pull that changes the speed or direction of an object. 

Force

100

The ability to do work

Energy

100

Water that falls back to Earth as rain, snow, sleet, or hall

Precipitation

100
Scientific attempt to make accurate predictions of future weather and weather patterns

Weather Forecasting

200

a variable in an experiment that the scientist observes for change or reaction.

Independent Variable

200

The direction and distance from a starting point to an ending point

Displacement

200

Processed by an object because of its motion or energy of position (not in motion)

Mechanical Energy

200

Layer of Earths atmosphere that transitions into space

Exosphere

200

Genetic material that codes for traits

DNA

300

a systematically organized way of learning about or examining the natural world

Science

300

Friction force that acts to prevent objects that are touching from sliding past one another

Static Friction

300

Movement of energy from one source to another source

Energy Transfer

300

Occurs when water absorbs enough energy to turn into a gas

Evaporation

300

Provide support and protection; anchors muscles for movement

Skeletal System

400

Used to display categorical data, represents changes in numerical data 

Line Graph

400
Force that acts between any two masses

Gravity

400

Mechanical energy of motion 

Kinetic Energy

400

Layer of Earths atmosphere that is home to organisms, contains the majority of gases and is where weather occur

Troposphere

400
Genetic make up of a trait (RR, Rr or rr)

Genotype

500

Uses prior knowledge to figure something out or to develop a hypothesis

Inference

500
The overall force acting on an object after all the forces have been added or subtracted.

Net Force

500
Energy transfer in form of waves (ex: microwaves, radio waves: energy from the sun)

Electromagnetic Transfer

500

Scientists who study weather and predict its patterns

Meteorologist

500

Bundles of genetic information; contain many genes

Chromosomes
