Fossil Fuels/ Sedimentary Rock
Which Fossil Fuel is made of only plants?
Coal
What do you call a circuit with a broken or incomplete path?
Open Circuit
What do you call it when light bends?
Refraction
What does a spring scale measure? (Hint: this is measured in newtons)
Force
A student is pulling a 50g block up a ramp using a spring scale. If the student adds a second block to the scale, which of the following are they most likely testing?
How mass affects force
This fossil fuel is also called petroleum
oil
What do you call a circuit that is complete and working?
Closed Circuit
What do you call it when light bounces off a smooth, shiny surface?
Reflection
What is gravity?
The force that pulls you down towards the center of the Earth
A student is pulling a 50g block up a ramp with a spring scale. If the student changes the material on the surface of the ramp, which of the following are they most likely testing?
Friction
This fossil fuel is found under the ocean, and we use it to cook with (blue flame)
Natural Gas
In a series circuit if one light bulb goes out what happens to the rest of the lights?
They all go out.
What is it called when light goes through something?
Transmit
What is friction
A force that slows down or stops motion when two objects rub together.
A student is performing an investigation using a wood block and a spring scale. The student drags the wood block across the table and records the measurement. Next, the student repeats the investigation using different surfaces under the block. What is the student most likely testing?
Friction
This process sticks layered sediment together like glue or cement
cementation
In a parallel circuit if one light bulb goes out what happens to the rest of the lights?
They will still be lit as long as they have a complete path.
Why do spoons appear bent underwater?
Refraction
What are the four magnetic metals?
Steel, Iron, Nickel, Cobalt
A student uses a spring scale to pull a 100g book across a table. If they add a 50g box of marbles on top of the book what are they most likely testing?
How mass affects force
After sediment is deposited in layers the PRESSURE smashes them together. What is this process called?
compaction
Anytime you see a question with a picture of a circuit what should you do with your pencil?
Trace the circuit. If you find any cuts or openings the path wont work.
What do you call it when light cannot go through an object and it is soaked up or stopped?
Absorbed
A student pushes a stack of books down a ramp. The ramp is made of rough wood and took 10 seconds for the books to slide down. How could the student make the books slide down the ramp faster?
reduce friction with a different material
A group of students were designing a tabletop bumper car model to test the effects of different forces. They used several of the same toy cars to represent the bumper cars and a cardboard box to represent the bumper car arena. They used a rubber mat, a plastic folder, and paper towel to line the bottom of the box.
