Biology
What is flora and fauna?
Flora = plants
Fauna = animals
What are the Earth's layers in order from innermost layer to outermost?
Inner Core
Outer Core
Mantle
Crust
What are contact forces and provide 3 examples
Contact forces are a push or pull on an object that occur when the objects are touching. Contact forces occur when objects are touching.
Examples:
Frictional, Tension, Normal, Air resistance, Applied Spring
What is a sequential explanation?
A sequential explanation explains a thing/phenomenon in the order that the events occur.
What are pyrophytes?
Plants that have adapted to survive fires
How many major tectonic plates are there?
16 Plates
What experiment is used to show the force of gravity?
The cavendish experiment
What are temporal and causal conjunctions?
They are joining words that relate to time and cause of something.
What size is a Kangaroo baby?
What is the smallest major tectonic plate?
Juan de Fuca Plate
What is an unbalanced force?
An unbalanced force is when force on one side of an object is greater than the force on the other side of an object.
What are the 3 tenses in writing, and what tense should explanations be written in?
Explanations should be written in Present tense.
What are Monotremes and Marsupials?

1. Juan de Fuca plate
2. Scotia plate
3. Cocos plate
4. Caribbean plate
5. Nazca plate
6. Arabian plate
7. Philippine plate

10. African plate
11. Australian plate
12. Eurasian plate
13. Pacific plate
14. Antarctic plate
15. South American plate

What are non-contact forces and the 3 types?
Non-contact forces occur when an object is pushed or pulled by another object without the object’s touching.
An object is within another objects FIELD.
Electrical, Magnetic, Gravitational.
What is the structure of an explanation?
Title
Introduction
Body paragraphs
Conclusion
What are the 5 adaptations that most pyrophyte's have to survive fires?
1. Germination - Spreading seeds
2. Bark - Thick bark
3. Height - Very tall to keep important parts away from fire
4. Regrowth - Regrowing parts underground away from fire
5. Flowers - Some plants only flower after a fire
How do tectonic plates move?
Heat from the core causes a convection current within the mantle that pushes and pulls on the tectonic plates from underneath.
Draw 3 diagrams that show the forces acting upon our bottle rockets:
Stationary
Flying up
Falling down
1st Diagram - Arrow up (Force Normal)
- Arrow down (Force Gravity)
2nd Diagram - Arrow up (Larger or with two points) (Force applied)
- Arrow down (Smaller) (Force Gravity) (Force Air Resistance)
3rd Diagram - Arrow down (Larger)(Force Gravity)
- (OPTIONAL) Arrow up (Smaller) (Force Air resistance)
What are all the key elements needed when writing an explanation?
- Introduction
- Technical vocabulary
- Paragraphs w/topic sentences
- Present tense
- Causal and temporal conjunctions
- Visuals/Diagrams
