Light and Matter
How does light travel.
In straight lines.
What has to happen in order for evaporation to take place?
Molecules of liquid water have to gain enough energy to break free and go up into the air as water vapor.
the process in which water continuously moves from Earth's surface into the atmosphere and back again.
Water cycle
Rock formed from cooled magma or lava.
Igneous Rock
supports an organism's body, protects its internal structures, and allows the body to move
Skeletal System
What happens when light bounces off something.
Reflects
Where do the water droplets that form on the outside of a glass of ice water come from?
They come from the water vapor in the air around the glass.
the mixture of gases that surround a planet.
Atmosphere
Where two tectonic plates pull apart, often creating mid-ocean ridges
Divergent boundary
causes movement when muscles contract(shorten)
Muscular System
What happens when light goes through something.
Transmits
Why does the mass of a closed cup system not change over time?
Because nothing can get in our out of the system.
the process by which a liquid changes into a gas.
Evaporation
The layer of the Earth below the crust, where most of the movement of tectonic plates occurs.
Mantle
breaks down food into substances that can be absorbed and used for energy
Digestive System
What happens when light hits a one-way mirror?
Some light goes through and some light reflects.
How was our fancy cup different than our regular cup?
The fancy cup was double-walled and the regular cup was single-walled.
the process by which a gas changes into a liquid.
Condensation
A long mountain range on the ocean floor where new crust is formed at a divergent boundary.
Mid-ocean ridge
Contains the genetic information for cells to grow, live, perform their functions, and reproduce.
DNA
What happens when light hits glass?
Most light goes through and a little reflects.
When we did our investigations we found that cups with lids on them
Stayed cold or hot longer than the cups without lids on them.
water that falls from the air to Earth's surface
Precipitation
Large pieces of the Earth's crust that float on the mantle and move around.
Tectonic plates
The control center of the cell. It is the largest organelle in the cell and it contains most of the DNA of the cell.
