Life Science
This is what all organisms are made of. The building blocks of all organisms.
What are cells?
When heat is released during a chemical change.
What is an exothermic reaction?
This occurs when the Moon moves into the Earth's shadow, causing the Moon to be darkened. The Earth is between the Sun and the Moon.
What is a lunar eclipse?
Screws, nails, tape and staples have this in common.
What are types of fasteners?
When chloroplasts do a chemical reaction that converts water and carbon dioxide into sugar and oxygen. Sunlight is needed for this reaction to happen.
What is photosynthesis?
The part of a cell responsible for making energy for an organism using the process known as cellular respiration.
What is the mitochondria?
The amount of matter that is packed into a specific space.
What is density?
The galaxy that our solar system is a part of.
What is the Milky Way galaxy?
The limitations on a design when trying to solve a problem.
What are contraints?
Heat transfer through objects that are in contact with each other.
What is conduction?
The systems that work together to deliver oxygen to all parts of the body.
What are the respiratory and circulatory systems?
This protects our planet from harmful radiation and is a force created by moving electrical charges.
What is magnetic field?
The coastlines of several continents appear to fit together like puzzle pieces and fossils of the same extinct organisms are found on continents that are separated by an ocean.
What is evidence for continental drift?
The part of a communication system that sends a message.
What is a transmitter?
Objects will stay in motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an outside force.
What is Newton's First Law of Motion?
Some different types of organisms:
- have similar traits with similar functions
- look very similar as embryos
- have very similar DNA
What is evidence for evolution?
The place on a roller coaster ride when the cart has maximum potential energy and minimum kinetic energy.
What is at the top of a roller coaster hill?
The theory that explains the formation of mountains, trenches, volcanoes, rifts, etc.
What is plate tectonics?
The base, or bottom, or a structure that is what everything is built upon.
What is the foundation?
Molecules are totally spread out and fill an entire space. The molecules are most energetic.
What is a gas?
The type of relationship between organisms where one type of organism benefits and the other organism is harmed.
What is a parasitic relationship?
A space without molecules. As a result, it is an excellent heat insulator.
What is a vacuum?
Brings cold air and more severe weather into a region.
What is a cold front?
Properties of materials that are always the same.
What are characteristic properties?
Heat transfer when hot things rise and cool things sink.
What is convection?
