Energy
What is the ability to make things move and change?
A push or a pull is known as this
What is a force?
The imaginary line horizontally around the middle of the Earth.
What is the equator?
This term describes a species that has no members still living.
What is extinct?
This molecule carries genetic information and has a double helix
What is DNA?
The type of energy that an object has when its moving
What is kinetic energy?
Newton's Law that states an object at rest remains at rest until a force is acted upon it.
What is Newton's 1st Law?
It takes this long for the moon to revolve completely around the Earth.
What is 29 days or about a month?
This technique involves moving DNA from one organism to another to change its traits.
What is Genetic Engineering?
The energy stored in an object due to its elevated position, like the top of a steep ramp.
What is gravitational potential energy?
Energy that is stored due to an object's position or shape
What is potential energy?
This is the formula used to calculate speed.
What is distance divided by time?
It takes this long for the Earth to complete on full rotation.
What is 24 hours?
All modern dog breeds are descendants of wolves, created through this process.
What is Selective Breeding or Artificial Selection?
This occurs when Earth moves directly between the Sun and the Moon
What is a lunar eclipse?
As a roller coaster goes down the first drop, potential energy turns into this type of energy.
What is kinetic energy?
This is the force that goes against the motion of an object, like applying breaks on a car to slow it down
What is friction?
This causes the Seasons on Earth
What is Earth's Tilt?
Organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring, passing on favorable traits.
What is Natural Selection?
This law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
What is Newton's 3rd Law?
When an object stops moving due to friction, its kinetic energy is transferred into this type of energy.
What is thermal energy?
A person pulls on a cart to the right with 10N, and a second person pulls to the left with 4N, this is the net force.
What is 6N to the right?
This term describes the moon phase when the illuminated portion is decreasing in size.
What is waning?
Any kind of inherited trait that improves an organism's chances of survival and reproduction in a given environment.
What is adaptation?
The phases of the moon that causes Spring Tides, or Highest tides.
