300
Your snowman from yesterday is looking skinnier today. Explain what happened in terms of energy.
What is: The molecules in the snow gained energy from the sun causing the snowman to begin melting turning from a solid to a liquid.
300
This question is best suited for the rock candy investigation.
What is How does the width of the sugar crystals change over time?
400
Copper has an atomic mass of 64 and an atomic number of 29. How many neutrons does it have?
What is 35.
400
An atom of Sodium and an atom of Chlorine make this molecule.
What is salt.
400
Your popsicle is now a gooey mess because you took too long to eat it. Explain what the molecules were doing.
What is: The molecules began to move faster and farther apart, turning from a solid into a liquid.
400
It is sunny out today. Explain why the radiometer is quickly spinning.
What is: The air molecules are gaining energy from the sun, causing them to move quickly next to the black panel. The molecules near the white panel begin to move as the white color repels, creating an air current in the radiometer.
400
Based on the data table, Lana and Martin concluded the following.
What is As time increases, the average width of sugar crystals increases.
500
This element is radioactive, colorless, and odorless. Houses build today require a detector for this element.
What is Radon.
500
This element can cause neurological damage if touched directly to skin. It also helped coin the term "mad hatter" in the 18th and 19th centuries.
What is Mercury.
500
Mrs. Douglas continues to forget about her coffee in the back microwave. Explain why she has to continue to heat it up.
What is: The molecules in the coffee lose energy and begin to move slower and closer together, causing the coffee to cool down. She has to heat the coffee in order to drink it hot.
500
Energy is measured using this type of unit.
What is Joules.
