In a generator, in order for energy to transfer and move in a wire what must be happening
What is the magnets must be spinning
200
This part of the CER recites specific values from multiple sources of data such as facts, figures, and graphs
What is evidence
200
According to this data, beaks are larger in years where the climate is ________.
What is a dry year
200
This term describes the need or want of some resource--like how much energy we need or how much water we need
What is demand
200
This term refers to energy associated with motion of matter
What is kinetic energy
200
What part of a CER is the following statement an example of:
"Jellyfish populations have increased in numbers over the last 50 years."
What is the claim
300
This part of the CER is where you explain using science vocabulary and concepts--the why and the how.
What is the reasoning
300
How would you describe the correlation between these two variables?
What is a positive correlation
300
This term describes a switch that buildings have that is triggered to convert a circuit to open when power levels become unsafe.
What is a circuit breaker switch
300
This term describes forces that cause matter to change because the forces are not equal
What are unbalanced forces
300
This term refers to the ability to trust or count on a consistent performance from an energy source
What is relaibility
400
Which part of a CER is the following statement an example of?
"We see jellyfish populations appear larger in year 2020 compared to previous years. In 1985, jellyfish populations were at least half as large as they are now."
What is evidence
400
If the distance between swabs was 25 cm, what would we expect the distance of the ring from HCl swab to be?
What is ~10 cm. Accept any number between 8.1 and 12.2
400
This term refers change in the pathway of electricity when a new route has developed (from a fallen tree or something else) where ALL the energy will take that path...usually results in a larger scale power outage instead of just a couple houses.
What is a short circuit
400
This term refers to the change in an object caused by a force. It can be bending, squeezing, breaking, etc.
What is deformation
400
This term refers to how many atoms or mass an object has for a given space/volume
What is density.
500
Which part of the CER is the following statement an example of:
"Jellyfish populations are increasing because they are more resistant to changes in the ocean as a result of climate change. They can withstand little to no oxygen, a range of heat, and live on almost no food since they are mostly made of water."
What is reasoning
500
If we have the temperature at 45 degrees, what would you expect the enzyme activity to be?
Between 70-60 is accepted.
500
This term is used to describe the ability of a power plant to increase or decrease the supply of power in a short period of time based on demand
What is dispatchability or dispatchable
500
This term describes matter that is made of different things, different composition, like the mantle of the Earth
What is heterogenous
500
This process occurs in Earth's mantle and causes plate motion. It is the process of hot matter rising because it is less dense and has more energy while cold matter is more dense and sinks and pushes hot matter up.
What is convection
