Balance
What is the tool used to measure mass?
200
grams
What is the unit of measurement for mass?
200
How much mass is in a given volume.
What is density?
200
Violet
What color has the shortest wavelength?
200
The rising of warm air and the sinking of cool air that creates weather.
What is convection?
300
Graduated cylinder
What is the tool used to measure volume?
300
Kelvin and degrees Celsius
What are the units used to measure temperature?
300
When the pressure is held constant, an increase in temperature results in an increase in volume.
What is Charles' Law?
300
Gamma Rays
What EM wave has the shortest wavelength?
300
The transfer of heat energy from one molecule to another.
What is conduction?
400
Barometer
What is the tool used to measure air pressure?
400
Cubic meters and liters
What are the units used to measure volume?
400
When volume is held constant and there is an increase in pressure, there will be an increase in temperature.
What is Pressure-Temperature Law?
400
The table reflects red wavelengths and absorbs orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet wavelengths.
How does a red table get its color?
400
When the air gets warmed by the surface it is above.
What is radiation?
500
What is the name of the "tool" used to measure areas of equal pressure on a weather map?
Isobars
500
Kilopascal and millibars
What are the units used to measure pressure?
500
If temperature is held constant and the volume decreases, pressure will increase.
What is Boyle's Law?
500
Wave frequency and energy decreases.
What happens to an electromagnetic waves frequency and energy when the wavelength gets longer?
500
It protects us from harmful radiation.
