100

The variables that stay the same across all groups in an experiment

Controlled variables or constants

100
All of the elements are arranged on this and organized in a way that properties are grouped together 

Periodic Table

100

The energy of motion

Kinetic energy

100

The process of energy being transferred through empty space (Ex. from the sun to Earth or from a campfire)

Radiation

100

The cause of day and night on Earth

Rotation of Earth

200

The type of variable that we change in order to see its affect. There is only one of them changed per experimental setup

Independent variable

200

The 3 main categories of elements on the periodic table

Metals

Nonmetals

Metalloids

200

At the top of a hill, before a ball is released it has the maximum amount of what type of energy

Potential energy

200

When you flip a light switch there is a transfer between these 2 types of energy

Electrical to radiant/light

200

The 2 contributing factors that cause Earth the experience seasons

Earth's revolution around the sun AND Earth's tilt

300
When data is graphed and the line is increasing from left to right, the data graphed has what type of relationship?

Positive 

300

The positively charged particles in the nucleus of each atoms

Proton

300
The term that describes and object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion

Inertia (Newton's 1st law)

300

The process of heat transfer that depends on density of liquid or gas to create a current or cycle

Convection

300

The large slabs of Earth's crust that shift and move to create the continents, earthquakes and volcanoes

Tectonic plates
400
When collecting data it is best to do multiple trials, what do we calculate to get an overall representation of all the trials done?

Find the average or mean

400

Elements are arranged by the number of protons they have which determines their what?

Atomic Number

400

The closer 2 objects are together, the stronger this force becomes

Gravitational force (or magnetic force if the objects are magnetically attracted to one another)

400

What happens to the amount of kinetic energy in an object as its speed increases?

It also increases

400

What is the reason that we observe different phases of the moon?

The moon revolves around Earth so the sunlight is reflected at different angles
500

When graphing data collected, this type of variable is plotted along the horizontal (x) axis

Independent Variable

500

The elements in the far right column don't bond with anyone because of their full electron shell, we call them

Noble Gases

500

Name 2 ways we can decrease the force needed to move an object

Name 2 of the following:

Wheels

Pulley

Inclined plane/ramp

Lever

500

The law that states that energy cannot be created or destroyed

Law of Conservation of Energy
