What is an engineer?
365 days for this to complete 1 revolution
The ingredients for a hurricane
What is moisture, warm waters, and wind?
It is air in motion
What is wind?
This energy is the energy we can see.
What is light energy?
A series of steps followed by engineers to create.
What is the Engineering Design Process?
An imaginary line from the N. Pole to the S. Pole
What is the axis?
Density
What is the word to explain how close together molecules are?
Nitrogen and oxygen.
What is air mostly made of?
We built this vehicle during one of our science units (kinetic energy, potential energy, etc.)
The first step in the Engineering Process.
What is "Define Problem"?
This is where the USA is located
What is the Northern Hemisphere?
Units of grams or cubic cm.
What is density measured by?
What is warm air?
This variable is not affected by the other variable.
What is an independent variable?
Develop Solution
What is the 3rd step in the design process?
The sun's rays concentrate on this area the most.
What is the Equator?
2 hydrogen and 1 oxygen
What is water made of?
These tools measure wind.
You need a conclusion, support it with evidence, and support the evidence with reasoning.
What is the criteria for a scientific explanation?
It encourages and helps form ideas, and has a clear structure to easily follow and communicate with the group.
What are the reasons to follow the design process?
Sun's rays spread out over large area, so the Sun's energy is weaker.
What is the reason for it being cold in the N. Pole?
212 degrees Fahrenheit and 100 degrees Celsius.
What is the boiling point for water? (in C and F)
When there is high pressure above water and low pressure above land, it creates this breeze.
What is a sea breeze?
Plants and animals belong in this "sphere"
What is Biosphere?
