Atomic Foundations
This is the name for the center of an atom.
Nucleus
This is the attractive force that pulls objects toward each other, like a planet pulling on a moon.
Gravity
This is the type of wave that can travel through a vacuum. Examples are light and radio waves.
Electromagnetic Waves
These are the parts of our DNA that control our traits.
Genes
If you loop copper wire around a piece of ferromagnetic material, and run current through the wire, you create this.
Electromagnet, will also accept Magnetic Field
Cannot accept simply "Magnet"
These tiny particles move around the outside of the atom.
Electrons
If you move two magnets further away from each other, what happens to the magnetic force between them?
It gets weaker.
This is the term for how many waves pass a point in a given amount of time. It is measured in Hz.
Frequency
This is the term for when animals with better traits survive and reproduce more often in their environment.
Adaptation or Natural Selection
How can scientists tell evolution/adaptation happens/happened using data from nature?
The fossil record OR observing similar animals in different environments.
Proton = Positive
Neutron = Neutral
Electron = Negative
For every action or force (push), there is an equal and __________ reaction.
Opposite
This is when waves bounce off of something, like light bouncing off a mirror.
Reflection
This is when humans choose to breed animals or plants with traits that are useful to humans.
Artificial Selection or Selective Breeding
The three specific things you can do to make an electromagnet stronger. Assume it already has a ferromagnetic core.
More Coils, More Current, Coils Closer Together
If the atomic mass is 9 and the atomic number is 4, how many protons does the atom have?
Whether an object is moving or standing still, it depends on what?
The Reference Point or the Observer
This is the distance from the crest of one wave to the crest of the very next wave.
Wavelength
Fitness
What happens when you have moving magnets near copper, or moving copper near magnets?
An electric current is induced in the copper. Bonus 100 if you ALSO said the current creates a magnetic field in the copper, bonus 200 if you said that magnetic field makes the copper move relative to the magnet.
When two atoms fuse inside of a star, these two things are created.
Heavier Atoms and Energy
To change how an object moves, it depends on two things: the amount of force you use and what other thing?
Mass
(If you said "weight" I'll give you 400)
Digital
Name three gene related technologies humans use to benefit humanity in some way.
Cloning, Selective Breeding, Gene Therapy, Genetic Engineering, DNA Fingerprinting, Comparisons.
The essential steps for a fossil to be created and discovered.
Burial, Water, Reveal
