An educated guess, or possible answer to a scientific question.
What is a Hypothesis?
100
This is the system of units that most countries use for scientific measurement.
What is the metric system?
100
This is a short but wide container that is used to measure liquids.
What is a beaker?
100
This is the layer that forms the Earth's outer skin.
What is the crust?
100
This is one of two main elements that are found in the core of the earth.
What is Nickel or Iron?
200
A way of solving a problem that uses a systematic approach.
What is the scientific method?
200
This is a tool that scientists would use to measure the length, width or height of an object.
What is a ruler or meter stick?
200
This is used to measure temperature.
What is a thermometer?
200
This is the type of rock that makes up most of our oceanic crust.
What is Basalt?
200
This is the name of the "supercontinent" that Alfred Wegener hypothesized to have existed.
What is Pangaea?
300
Measurements that are recorded during a scientific experiment.
What is data?
300
This tall but narrow container is used to measure liquid.
What is a graduated cylinder?
300
This tool is used to clean out test tubes and other laboratory equipment.
What is a test tube?
300
This is the type of rock that makes up most of our continental crust.
What is Granite?
300
This is one type of evidence that Alfred Wegener used to support his theory of continental drift.
What is fossil evidence, land features, and evidence from climate?
400
In this part of the scientific method, you state whether or not your hypothesis was supported.
What is the Conclusion?
400
The unit we use to label liquid measurements.
What is a liter?
400
This is the unit that is used when length, width and height are measured?
What is a meter?
400
This is the hot layer of rock that lies below the crust.
What is the Mantle?
400
This is the heat transfer that is caused by movement in a liquid. It is the process that moves hot magma within the mantle of our earth. It is the cause of the movement of our tectonic plates.
What is Convection?
500
This is information that scientists collect with their eyes and ears. They help with forming hypotheses and also with data collection during experiments.
What are observations?
500
This is used to measure the mass of an object (which is often confused with weight).
What is a Triple Beam Balance Scale?
500
Chemical reactions can be observed in this piece of laboratory equipment.
What is a test tube.
500
This is the uppermost layer of the mantle.
What is the lithosphere?
500
This layer of the mantle is like road tar softened by heat. It is still rigid, but not completely hard. It is the closest layer of the mantle to the core.
