What is the process that causes water to turn into a gas into the atmosphere?
Evaporation
A popsicle melting is a (physical/chemical) change.

A hot air balloon rising in the sky is an example of Convection. Give a different example of convection.

Marco notices his glass of ice water has water on the outside of the glass after an hour. Which process in the water cycle does this describe?
Condensation?
If the Jet stream is above North Carolina, what kind of temperatures will we have?
Warmer temperatures
Jerry thinks his brownies baking in the oven are an example of radiation. Jimmy thinks it is an example of convection. Who is correct?
Who is Jimmy?
Paula wants to go to the park. One swingset has metal swings and the other has plastic swings. Which swingset would be the most comfortable to use and why?
The plastic swingset. The metal would be either too hot or too cold depending on the time of year.

Rain, cloudy, some sort of precipitation, etc.
When the grass has dew on it early in the morning, which two processes are the cause?
a. transpiration and evaporation
b. transpiration and condensation
c. evaporation and precipitation
d. evaporation and condensation
B. Transpiration and condensation
lifespans, specialized cells, size, etc.
Turning bread into toast using a toaster is an example of which 2 types of heat transfer?
What are radiation and conduction?
Give an example of a conductor and an insulator you've seen this week.
Insulators: jackets, wooden cooking materials, plastic playground equipment, etc.
Conductors: Metal, pots/pans, pipes, etc.
A low pressure system is coming in tomorrow. What types of clouds would we see in the sky?
Stratus or cumulonimbus clouds.
If evaporation causes water to turn into gas, then why does the ocean not dry up?
The water cycle moves that water from the air back down to the earth, and eventually the water makes its way back into the ocean in an endless cycle.
What is the difference between an inherited vs. an acquired trait?
An inherited trait is something that is passed from parent to offspring. An Acquired trait is something an individual gets throughout life that cannot be passed from parent to offspring.
