Matter and Energy
What is used in measuring mass and what unit of measurement is used?
A balance is used to measure mass. The unit of measurement is grams.
What is reflection, refraction, and absorption?
Reflection bounces the light waves off the surface. Refraction bends the light waves as they pass through one medium to another. Absorption stops or soaks the light in the object.
What are Fossil Fuels found on Earth? Hint: FFCON
Coal, Oil/Petroleum, Natural Gas
A circuit that allows electricity to pass through is called?
Closed or complete circuit
What are renewable resources? Give me an example.
Resources that can be replaced easily. Examples- wind, water, plants
What property describes the ability of an object to sink or float?
Relative Density
What are the Forms of Energy?
Chemical, Mechanical, Electrical, Light, Thermal, Sound
This is formed by water weathering rock and eroding sediments.
Canyon or V-Shaped Valley
What is needed for a circuit to be complete?
battery, wires, a load (light bulb, motor, buzzer). A switch is optional
What are examples of soluble matter?
Salt, Sugar, honey, lemon juice, coffee
What is SINC?
Steel, Iron, Nickel, and Cobalt.
When energy changes from one for to another such as in a fan, what is that change of energy called?
Transformation
What is formed by water depositing at the mouth of a river forming a triangle?
Delta
What is friction?
Force that works against motion.
What are fossil fuel formed from?
From dead organisms that underwent heat and pressure for millions of years.
What is the difference between a mixture and a solution?
The difference is that a mixture can be separated easily and maintain their physical properties.
What are the two types of forces?
Push and Pull
What are the steps in Sedimentary Rock Formation? Hint WEDCOCE
Weathering, Erosion, Deposition, Compaction, Cementation
A spring scale is used to measure what and what is the unit of measurement?
It measures force and the unit is a newton.
Where are fossil fuels formed?
Coal is formed under swampy areas and oil and natural gas under the ocean floor.
What are conductors and insulators?
Conductors allow energy to pass or flow. Insulators stop or slow energy from passing through.
What are balanced and unbalanced forces?
Balanced forces do not cause motion and unbalanced forces cause motion.
What are the steps of the water cycle starting with the sun heating up the water?
Evaporation, Condensation, Precipitation, Run-off, and Accumulation
What are the Weathering Agents?
Wind, Water, Ice, and Gravity
What are the alternative fuels? Hint: Will Smith Has Gummy Bears
Wind, Solar, Hydroelectric, Geothermal, Biomass
