300

This is what happens to energy when it changes from one form to another.

→ What is energy transformation?

300

These form when magma erupts through the Earth's surface.

→ What are volcanoes?

300

This process helps organisms survive in their environments over time.

→ What is adaptation?

300

This happens when a substance spreads evenly into a liquid.
→ What is dissolving?

→ What is dissolving?

300

This step comes after identifying the problem and before building a prototype. It involves thinking of many possible ways to solve the problem.

→ What is brainstorming solutions?

600

This is the energy something has because of its motion.

→ What is kinetic energy?

600

This sudden movement of Earth's crust can cause shaking.
→ What is an earthquake?

→ What is an earthquake?

600

This is a behavior that is not inherited.

800

This is the energy in a wound up rubber band.

→ What is potential Energy

800

This type of erosion is caused by a river.
→ What is river erosion?

These attributes help animals meet basic needs and survive.

→ What are physical traits?

800

This is what happens to the mass of water after evaporation in an open container.

→ What is it that decreases?

800

This is what engineers do after testing to improve a design.

→ What is redesign?

1000

his law says energy cannot be created or destroyed.

→ What is the law of conservation of energy?

1000

This is a large landform made by tectonic plate collisions.

→ What is a mountain range?

1000

This is the passing of traits from parents to offspring.

→ What is heredity?

1000

This change creates a new substance with new properties.

→ What is a chemical change?
