This type of matter is one of the few ones that can exist as a solid, a liquid, and a gas here on Earth.

What is water?

100

Fire's one example, but the more of this type of energy an object has, the higher its temperature.

What is heat?

100

When you bring in two opposite charges, this is the type of force that exists between them.

What is attraction?

100

The prediction you make before you start an experiment.

What is the hypothesis?

100

A major component of emissions, this molecular gas is largely responsible for the greenhouse effect.

What is carbon dioxide?

200

The measurement of the amount of space an object takes up (in 3-D!)

What is volume?

200

Depending on the albedo of a material, this type of energy is either absorbed or reflected back to whence it came.

What is light?

200

When you rub a balloon on your head, this phenomena will push or pull different objects toward the balloon.

What is static electricity?

200

Big changes are coming! In an experiment, these are the changes you make between each trial, and you only should be changing one of these at a time.

What is an independent variable?

200

These types of diagrams can be positive or negative, depending on whether it regulates over time or continues to spiral out of control.

What is a feedback loop?

300

Defined as how much "stuff" is crammed into a given space, this property determines if objects will sink or float in water.

What is density?

300

Rather than moving around freely, this type of motion still generates energy, but the particles only move back and forth in place.

What is vibration?

300

This type of force exists between objects even when they're far apart from each other.

What is a distance force?

300

If two things are related, but don't necessarily cause each other.

What is correlation?

300

This is a type of underwater wall that has been suggested to prevent warm water from reaching a glacier.

What is a berm?

400

Home sweet home! The home of the protons and the neutrons in the atom.

What is the nucleus?

400

This type of energy is the reason behind temperature, and it's determined by the speed of particles.

What is kinetic energy?

400

The energy stored in this place can be increased by either increasing the charges on the two objects, or if the objects are moved further apart.

What is the electric field?

400

When multiple experts look over your research and give it critiques.

What is peer review?

400

When you put a magnet near a laser in this device, it bends! This device is the reason why we know electrons exist.

What is a cathode ray tube?

500

An atom that either gains or loses an electron, it's the reason why we see lightning arc across the sky.

What is an ion?

500

This property of matter determines the amount of heat transfer between two objects, and it's especially observed when there's a big difference between the objects

What is mass?

500

This equation relates charge and distance to the force experienced between two objects. Fun fact: A variant of this can also be used to describe gravity!

What is Coulomb's Law?

500

In making an argument, you make your claim, you back it up with evidence, and this third category ties them together.

What is justification?

500

This term describes how the volume of water changes when ice melts either on land or in sea (it's the difference between Greenland melting and Antarctica melting).

What is displacement?
