Weather/Climate
These are the main steps of the water cycle.
What is: Evaporation, Transpiration, Condensation, Precipitation, Runoff?
Made up of none or one moving parts. They make work easier and require less force. The six are: pulley, screw, wheel & axel, lever, inclined plane, and wedge.
What are simple machines?
Law of Conservation states that: energy cannot be (1)________ nor (2)________, only transformed.
(1) created
(2) destroyed
In relation to body composition, what are the 2 main groups of animals?
Vertebrates (spine) and Invertebrates (no spine)
In relation to body composition, what are the 2 main groups of plants?
Vascular (tall plants with tubes: roots, stems, xylem, phloem) and Non-vascular (short plants without tubes, absorb nutrients and transport them cell by cell)
Warm/cold global currents, distance from water, elevation, topography influence _______.
Climate
How do you know work was done?
The load/object moved distance from its original point.
Stored energy in an object based on its position (this energy increases as height from the ground increases) and its shape.
What is potential energy?
Name 2 examples of mollusks.
Octopus, snail, clam, etc.
Photosynthesis takes place in which structure of a plant cell?
Chloroplast
Climate is the overall (1)_____ of temperature and precipitation of a large area. Weather is the (2)________ conditions of a smaller area.
(2) day-to-day
What do you increase to make a lever more effective?
Its length on the side of effort.
Source (ex. battery), wire, transformer (ex. lightbulb)
What are the 3 components of an electrical circuit?
If hibernation/dormancy is the response to stimuli like low food supply and/or cold weather, what happens before and during hibernation?
Animals will eat extra food before. During hibernation/dormancy, their heart rate slows down and they are inactive.
DAILY DOUBLE
What is the main difference between plants and fungi?
Fungi are heterotrophic (cannot make their own food). Can't do photosynthesis. They are decomposers - feed off decaying matter.
(1) This pressure system brings stormy weather.
(2) This pressure system brings fair/nice weather.
(1) What is a low pressure system?
(2) What is a high pressure system?
Name 3 examples of levers?
What are the 3 types of energy when you use a radio? ***in order***
1. Electrical (if plug-in); Chemical (if uses a battery)
2. Mechanical (to turn on)
3. Sound (music)
Name 2 defense mechanisms and 2 special structures.
Mechanisms: ejection, mimicry, camouflage, smells
Structures: quills on a porcupine, fangs on a snake, claws on a bear, poison on frogs, pincers and stinger on a scorpion
How are animals different from plants? How are they similar?
Animals move because they need to eat other organisms (heterotroph). Plants make their own food through photosynthesis (autotroph). They both undergo sexual reproduction.
What causes a rain shadow?
A tall mountain near an ocean blocks water vapor from passing it. Precipitation forms on the side of mountain near the water. Drought/dryness occurs on the other side of the mountain.
What are 3 ways to make a pulley more effective for lifting heavy objects?
By adding more (compound pulley), smooth wheel, and non-stretchy rope.
Type of energy in:
(1) a moving car
(2) making glucose during photosynthesis
(3) rubber-band
(4) microwave
(5) lightning bolt
(1) kinetic
(2) chemical
(3) elastic
(4) radiant
(5) electrical
Name the 5 groups of vertebrates
OR
Name the 5 groups of invertebrates.
Vertebrates: birds, mammals, amphibians, reptiles, and fish
Invertebrates: mollusks, segmented worms (annelids), arthropods, sponges, echinoderms
In vascular plants, what does the (1) xylem do? What does the (2) phloem do?
(1) xylem: transports water and nutrients from the soil to the stems and leaves.
(2) phloem: transports the sugars made in the leaves during photosynthesis to the rest of the plant.
