Need for Speed
Acceleration force that pulls objects towards the center of the Earth
Gravity
This states that matter cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction
Law of Conservation of Mass
Smallest unit of an element that retains the properties of that element
An Atom
Basic building blocks of all living things
Cells
In the water cycle this is the specific process that turns liquid water into gas/vapor due to heat from the sun
Evaporation
What is the speed of a truck that traveled 240 mi in 3.1 hours
77.4 mi/hr
This law states that for every action there is an equal/opposite reaction
Newtons third law of motion
Total number of protons and neutrons in an atom
Mass Number/Atomic Mass
This process allows plants to create their own food using sunlight, carbon dioxide and water.

Speed is a scalar quantity; velocity is a vector. What do each of those descriptions mean?
Daily Double
Speed only includes a number; velocity is speed with a direction

This is the negatively charged particle found in the cloud of an atom
Electron
This organelle provides energy for the specific daily functions of the cell
Mitochondria
While weather breaks down rocks into smaller pieces, this process is responisble for carrying those pieces away via wind, water, or ice

Erosion
Define Speed
Speed is how far an object travels in a certain amount of time
When at the dinner table, your sibling takes the table cloth and pulls it out from under the dishes. He claims he's magic, is that true? Or is it science? How does science apply here?
Its a part of newtons first law, objects at rest stay at rest.
Describe the charge of each subatomic particle

Proton - Positive
Neutron - Neutral
Electron - Negative
There are a few main differences between a plant and animal cell; please name me two of them.
Plants have a cell wall and chloroplast
These circular movements in the earths mantle are caused by hot magma rising and cool magma sinking which moves the tectonic pplates
Convection currents
13284 J
This property of matter describes an objects tendency to resist any change in its state of motion

Inertia
Draw and appropriately label each part of the following element: Oxygen
8 protons
8 electrons
8 neutrons
2 electron shells
This is the "ladder" looking structure that stores genetic information within the nucleolus
DNA
This type of rock is formed when layers of sand, mud and pebbles are pressed together over a long period, they are also often where fossils are found
