Matter and Its Properties
The three states of matter
What are solid, liquid, and gas?
This is the process that plants use to make their own food
What is photosynthesis?
In a series of rock layers, the oldest layers of rock will be found here:
Where is at the bottom?
These are the three different types of rock in the rock cycle.
What are igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary?
This organelle directs the activities of the cell, and contains the organism's DNA.
What is the nucleus?
This is the title of the most recent Beyonce album
What is Cowboy Carter?
The signs that a chemical reaction has occurred
What are a gas is formed, color change, temperature change, precipitate formed, new substance produced
These are the three things that are necessary for photosynthesis to occur
This event, which created a rock layer called the KT boundary, wiped out the dinosaurs approximately 65 million years ago.
What is the asteroid impact in Yucatan, Mexico?
What are melting, cooling, and crystallization?
This method of heat transfer is why the handle of a pan is hot when you touch it.
What is conduction?
These are the birds, usually kept on farms, that Mr. K has living in his backyard.
What are chickens?
This property of matter is the temperature at which it changes from a solid to a liquid
What is melting point?
These are the products of photosynthesis
What are glucose and oxygen
This is the outer layer of the Earth, which is made up of rocky tectonic plates.
What is the crust?
This is how metamorphic rocks form.
What is other rocks being transformed by intense heat and pressure?
This method of heat transfer is why hot fluid rises and cool fluid sinks. (It also takes place in Earth's mantle!)
What is convection?
The former title of Momentum Academy
This property of matter is the temperature at which it changes from a liquid to a gas
What is boiling point?
This is the function of the roots in a plant
What is to take in water
This is the thickest layer of the Earth, which contains convection currents and is made of magma.
What is the mantle?
This is why you cannot find a fossil in a metamorphic rock.
This is the most common greenhouse gas in the atmosphere, released when humans burn fossil fuels
What is carbon dioxide?
Who is Ms. Dittmer?
When the temperature of a substance increases, this is what happens to the speed and spacing of its particles
What is increase
This is the chemical reaction that ALL organisms do to release energy from their food.
(Hint: it is the opposite reaction to photosynthesis)
What is cellular respiration?
This natural disaster is caused by an earthquake happening under the water.
What is a Tsunami?
This is the process by which rock is broken down into sediments
What is weathering?
This is the smallest planet in our solar system
What is Mercury?
Mr. K has lived in these three other states besides Missouri. (Name at least one to get the points!)
What are Minnesota, Vermont, and California
The smallest unit of matter
What is an atom
Cellular respiration takes place in this organelle, often called the "powerhouse" of the cell
This is the type of plate boundary that is most likely to produce large earthquakes because plates are sliding past each other and getting stuck.
What is a transform boundary?
This is the process of moving sediments by wind, water, ice, or other means.
What is erosion?
This is the fifth planet from the sun.
What is Jupiter?
You must break it in order to use it...
What is an egg or glowstick?
The particles that make up atoms
What are protons, neutrons, and electrons?
Photosynthesis takes place in this large green organelle which contains the pigment chlorophyll.
What is the chloroplast?
These super hot areas of magma can burn holes in the center of plates and cause chains of volcanoes over time, such as the Hawaiian Islands.
What are hot spots?
What is larger?
This is one of the characteristics of life.
What are growth and development, reproduction, made of cells, homeostasis, complex chemistry, and response to environment?
This detective was portrayed by Mariska Hargitay on Law and Order: Special Victims Unit
Who is Detective Olivia Benson?
