Protons and neutrons are found in this part of the atom.
What is the nucleus?
100
This is formed when two or more different substances are blended physically without losing their identifying characteristics. Examples include salt and pepper, trail mix, and Lucky Charms.
What is a mixture?
100
A type of science that focuses on the study of matter at the level of atoms.
What is nanotechnology?
100
A famous scientist who used a kite to figure out that lightning was a natural form of electricity.
Who is Benjamin Franklin?
200
A phase of matter in which atoms move rapidly and spread out as far as possible.
What is a gas?
200
These particles orbit the nucleus of an atom.
What are electrons?
200
This is a type of mixture that is formed when one substance is dissolved in another. Examples include Kool-Aid and salt water.
What is a solution?
200
1) An object that allows electricity to pass through it, such as a metal.
2) An object that does NOT allow electricity to pass through it, such as rubber.
1) What is a conductor?
2) What is an insulator?
200
A type of circuit that has more than one pathway. If one light goes out, the other lights on the circuit will stay lit.
What is a parallel circuit?
300
A phase of matter in which atoms move quicker and spread further apart.
What is a liquid?
300
A phase of matter with definite volume and definite shape.
What is a solid?
300
Made up very tiny particles called atoms. All atoms inside are alike. Examples include gold and helium.
What is an element?
300
1) The reaction between like charges
2) The reaction between opposite charges
1) What is repel?
2) What is attract?
300
1) This type of circuit allows electricity to flow.
2) This type of circuit does not allow electricity to flow.
What is a closed circuit?
What is an open circuit?
400
A phase of matter in which atoms are packed tightly together and move very slowly.
What is a solid.
400
A phase of matter with definite volume but NO definite shape.
What is a liquid?
400
Formed when two or more elements are combined or joined together. An example is water.
What is a compound?
400
1) Stored energy
2) Motion energy
1) What is potential energy?
2) What is kinetic energy?
400
Occurs as a result of unbalanced atoms when extra electrons from a negatively charged object "jump" to a positively charged object. You may see a spark or feel a shock.
What is static electricity?
500
This causes matter to change from one phase to another.
What is temperature?
500
A phase of matter without definite volume or shape.
What is a gas?
500
The smallest part of a compound that has all of the same properties of that compound.
What is a molecule?
500
1) Positively charged particles
2) Negatively charged particles
3) Particles with no charge
1) What are protons?
2) What are electrons?
3) What are neutrons?
500
A non-permanent magnet created by wrapping a wire around certain iron-bearing materials, such as a nail. This was discovered by Michael Faraday.
