What you do to make sure you are taking advantage of what engineers before you have already done.

What is research?

100

300 miles? Not bad!

What is the distance an EV can go on one charge?
100

The process of creating solar energy is most common to this naturally occurring process.

What is photosynthesis?

100

Another word for upward force.

What is thrust?
100

You often can't see them, but these are what make sound possible.

What are vibrations? (or waves of air/water particles moving into our ears)

200

When you're ready to make something.

What is create?

200

This shows that slowing down doesn't have to be a waste.

What is regenerative braking?

200

These use the sun's heat to boil water into steam that spins a turbine in order to run a generator which produces electricity.

What are solar thermal electric power plants?

200

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

What is Newton's 3rd Law of motion?

200

These become impossible for us to hear as our ears age.

What are higher frequencies?

300

What you do after you've tried out a design.

What is improve?

300

Well, they have fewer parts to break down, they are quieter, they are more efficient, and they don't create any direct emissions...and more!

What are the benefits of EVs, as opposed to ICE vehicles?

300

Efficiently and affordably storing energy from this source is its primary drawback, currently.

What is the sun/solar?

300

The structure of a rocket with multiple sources of thrust, which may activate at the same time or successively.

What is staging?

300
Higher rates of heart disease, premature mortality, and cognitive impairment in children are just a few of the symptoms of this common reality.

What is noise pollution?

400

Brainstorming different solutions. 

What is imagine?

400

This prevents electrical current from flowing in two directions, restricting its flow to one desired direction.

What is a diode?

400

Generation, Transmission, and Distribution are the three steps of this structure?

What is the power grid structure?

400

The people, items, or probe that you want to arrive, intact, in space.

What is the payload?

400

This term describes the time difference and overcorrection that occurs when demand increases within a supply chain.

What is the bullwhip effect?

500

Before you do anything else. 

What is ask?

500

These move from the anode to the cathode, and vice versa, depending on whether the eponymous variety of battery is being charged or discharged. 

What are lithium ions?

500

This one semi-conductor is what makes solar panels functional.

What is silicon? 
500

This weighs about the same as one cubic meter of air.

What is a pineapple?

500

These three water treatment processes leave us with water than only needs to be disinfected before it's ready for us to drink. 

What are coagulation, clarification, and filtration?
