Light
What is reflection
When light bounces off an object
Thermal energy is another word for
heat
What season do hail storms normally occur in?
Spring/summer
True or false convection currents cause tectonic plates to move
true
cells
What is it called when light goes through an object?
transmission
how fast molecules are moving/colliding with one another
what time of day do hail storms normally occur?
Afternoon/evening
What type of boundary occurs when two plates collide?
convergent boundary
True or false: Non living things are made of cells
False
what is refraction
When an object bends light going through it
Why does insulation keep drinks cold?
It prevents the transfer of thermal energy to the liquid
What happens to the humidity AND temp when a hail storm approaches?
humidity increases
temp decreases
what type of boundary is causing Africa to split apart?
Divergent boundary/rift valley
What part of the microscope holds your slides?
The stage
True or false: We see things upside down but our brain correct this
true
What happens when molecules lose heat
they slow down
they get colder
what happens to temperature as altitude increases?
it decreases
what THREE things can form/happen at a convergent boundary?
mountains/volcanoes form
subduction
earthquakes
Unicellular organisms (organisms made of one cell) are called....
Protists
Why can't we see anything in a dark room
because no light is reflecting off objects into our eyes
the space between the walls slows the transfer of thermal energy/acts as insulation
describe what a convection current is
when warm air rises because molecules become less dense. They cool, become more dense and sink
Describe how the Himalayan mountains are formed
the Indian plate collided with the Eurasian plate causing the crust to buckle and form mountains
What are the two pieces of glass called that make a microscope slide
Cover glass
Slide glass
