This is the order of the colors of visible light from highest frequency to lowest frequency.
What is violet (purple), indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red?
100
This type of electricity, by definition, is stuck in one place instead of constantly moving.
What is static electricity?
100
This movement back and forth of molecules allows for sound to move from one location to the next.
What are vibrations?
100
This is the amount of time it takes the Earth to rotate fully one time on its axis.
What is 24 hours?
100
This is the process of rocks breaking down due to wind and water.
What is weathering?
200
This is a tool, often made of glass or clear plastic, that is used to split up white light into different colors.
What is a prism?
200
These are the 4 main parts of a circuit.
What are a power source, a wire, a resistor, and a switch?
200
This state of matter allows for sound to travel the fastest because the molecules are closest together.
What is solid?
200
This is the number of days it takes for the Earth to do one full revolution of its orbit around the sun.
What is 365 days?
200
This is when soil is washed away due to rain or wind.
What is erosion?
300
This is the scientific term for light bending as it passes through different materials.
What is refraction?
300
In a simple circuit diagram, this symbol represents what part of the circuit?
What is a battery?
300
In musical terms, this is what we call different frequencies of sound.
What are pitches?
300
This is the order of the planets, starting with the planet closest to the sun.
What are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune?
300
This is what occurs when a large piece of land suddenly breaks away from its original position and slides downhill, in many cases due to erosion.
What is a landslide?
400
When most objects, such as metals, take in significant amounts of heat they start to get bigger, otherwise known as this term.
What is expansion?
400
This type of circuit allows for the current to travel in only one path.
What is a series circuit?
400
These are the units used to measure sound intensity or loudness.
What are decibels?
400
These are the strongest tides of the year that occur when the Sun and moon are in alignment.
What are spring tides?
400
This type of soil particle is largest in size. They feel coarse, gritty and rough, like little stones.
What is sand?
500
These are the three main types of heat transfer.
What are conduction, convection, and radiation?
500
This is one of the benefits of parallel circuits over series circuits.
What is if one bulb/resistor breaks, the rest of the circuit can still work?
500
This is the range of human hearing frequencies (you need to include units)!
What are 20 - 20,000 Hz?
500
This is the number of days in a typical lunar cycle.
What are 28 days?
500
This type of soil particle is the smallest in size. They often clump together and prevent water from leaking through.
What is clay?
