ATOMS
What are the three subatomic particles?
Protons, neutrons, and electrons
What is the formula to calculate speed?
Speed = Distance / Time
What is the center of our Solar System?
The Sun
What causes the tides on Earth?
The Moon and the Sun
What causes the different seasons on Earth?
Earth’s tilt and revolution around the Sun.
What are valence electrons?
Electrons that are in an atom's outermost shell
If you are travelling to Disney World which is 800 miles away and your plane flies at 400 mph, how long will it take?
2 hours
True or False: The universe has no edge, end, or boundary. It continues for infinity.

If the tides and waves on Earth are higher and lower than average, would the Moon/Sun be closer or further away?
Closer
If the Northern hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun, what season would the Southern hemisphere be in?
Summer
What do elements in the same group on the periodic table have in common?
They have the same number of valence electrons
What are the two measuring metrics used in outer space?
Astronomical unit (AU) and Light-Year
What is the theory that caused all the motion and expansion in the universe?
The Big Bang Theory
If the Sun and the Moon were on the same side of the Earth, would that cause high tides or low tides?
High tides, because both gravity sources will be pulling in the same direction.
Why are summers hotter than winters?
The Earth is facing the Sun more often, giving the Earth longer to warm up and shorter to cool down.
What does it mean when an atom has a negative charge?
There is more electrons than protons
Why can you jump higher on the Moon than you can on Earth?
There is less gravity on the Moon
What is geocentric theory?
The belief that the Earth was the center of the universe and that the Sun orbited the Earth.
What type of tides are areas of the Earth where there is not a bulge?
Low tide
If we are experiencing 100 degree weather, what do we know about the tilt of the Earth?
It is tilted toward the Sun
What elements are stars mostly made of?
Helium and hydrogen
One astronomical unit is equivalent to……?
The distances between the Earth and the Moon, 150,000 KM
Early astronomers thought the Earth was the center of the universe, what is that belief called?
Geocentric Theory
If there are extremely high tides in an area, how are the tides that are perpendicular to that location on Earth?
Extremely low tides
If the Earth is not tilted toward or away from the Sun, what is that called?
Equinox
