Atmospheric
Changes in this means changes in temperature.
What is "Temperature"
Page 467, Figure 13.1
This section is sometimes missing in the student workbook leading to mass confusion and the teacher asking students to use a different note taking section.
What is "The Hypothesis Section"
Lab pages, some of you labs.
This is what gases in the air around you are always exerting.
What is "Atmospheric Pressure"?
Page 472, bottom section.
This device is designed to measure atmospheric pressure.
What is "A Barometer"?
Page 476, figure 13.5

Mountain climbers usually need to take these with them to survive climbs to high altititudes.
What are "Oxygen Tanks"?
Page 467, first paragraph
This was placed inside the aluminum cans while heating them to push out atmospheric gases and created a low atmospheric pressure inside the can.
What is "Water (heated until it became steam"?
Page 474, Procedure
With too little of this in the atmosphere, plants would starve and die.
What is "Carbon Dioxide"?
Page 472, 13.1 'On your own'
This liquid was commonly used in creating barometers due to how easy it was to work with and was much denser than water.
What is "Mercury"?
Page 476, third paragraph.
This is the planet furthest from the sun (according to the Apologia MS Physical Science course though this is still a contentious point of disagreement!)
What is "Neptune (but should be Pluto!)"?
Page 488, Figure 13.15 (and the teacher's opinion)
This molecule makes up the highest percentage in the content of air at 78.084%
What is "Nitrogen"?
Page 468, Figure 13.2
In lab 13.2, what was the effect the ice cold water had on the aluminum can after the can had been heated on the stove and placed upside down (open end) into the water?
What is "It collapsed/It imploded/It rapidly depressurized"?
Page 470, Materials
Greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane are often said to cause this effect on the Earth's atmosphere.
What is "Global Warming / Climate Change"
Page 472, first paragraph.
This is the abbreviated term used for the measurement of pressure in barometers.
What is "mmHg"?
Page 476, third paragraph.
The Juno space probe was sent into the red spot on Jupiter to measure this.
What is "Water Vapor"?
Page 489, third paragraph.
These two gases are necessary for all life to exist on planet Earth.
What are "Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide"
Page 469, first paragraph.
This component of many labs in the MS Physical Science class is usually made of Latex, a type of natural rubber that is biodegradable.
What are "Balloons"?
Lab pages, 1/3 of all labs
This is the atmospheric pressure found at sea level (across most of the Earth's surface)?
What is "14.7 pounds (per square inch)"?
Page 473, think about it.
An atmospheric pressure of 0.9 atm indicates the air pressure is this much at sea level.
What is "90% (of average sea level)"?
Page 477, first paragraph.
This it he name of the last Mars exploration rover launched in 2012.
What is "The Curiosity Rover"?
Page 490, first paragraph.
Carbon Dioxide, along with other gases in the atmosphere such as water vapor, methane and ozone, traps this in the Earth's atmosphere.
What is "Infrared Light"
Page 469, last paragraph.
Lab 13.3 focused on the movement of molecules by changes this variable.
What is "Heat"?
Page 483, figure 13.11
This is the reason why most objects and living creatures do not collapse from the pressure exerted by the atmosphere.
What is "Pressure inside equals pressure outside"?
Page 473, second paragraph.
This term describes the changes in energy between the layers of the Earth's atmosphere.
