Climate
Why does climate matter?
Climate matters because it determines the way we live on our planet.
What is the definition of weather?
Weather is the daily condition of the atmosphere at a precise time and place.
What is space?
Space is the infinite, three-dimensional stretch where all objects and events occur.
How many categories of lab equipment are there?
There are 5 different categories of lab equipment.
What type of selection would it be if a human breed 2 different types of dogs.
This type of selection would be artificial selection.
What is global warming?
Global warming is the rapid increase in the Earth’s average surface temperature.
What is the water cycle?
The water cycle is the constant movement of water above, on, and below the surface of the Earth.
How many people live on Earth?
Approximately 8.3 billion people live on Earth.
What would happen if someone didn’t follow lab safety rules?
If someone did not follow lab safety rules they could have a severe injury, destroy the equipment, or get the wrong research information.
Some moths blend into trees while others do not because they are vibrant, which would most likely survive in the wild?
The moths that blend into trees because predators can not see due to the moths camouflage.
What is one of the 5 major greenhouse gasses?
Carbon dioxide.
When do cold fronts occur?
Cold fronts occur when a dense mass of cold air moves into a warmer air mass.
Why doesn't space have gravity?
Gravity is in a constant state of “free-fall” around our planet.
What are lab safety rules?
Lab safety rules are basic protocols created to avoid accidents and injuries when managing hazardous equipment and materials.
What is artificial selection?
Artificial selection is when humans choose certain species with traits they want and breed them to have those characteristics in future generations.
How does deforestation affect the environment?
Deforestation destroys important water cycles, reduces biological variety, and accelerates climate change.
When do warm fronts occur?
Warm fronts occur when a lighter mass of warm air moves up and over withdrawing, denser mass of cold air.
Hoe often do eclipses happen?
Eclipses happen 4 to 7 times every single year.
Scientific measurements are measurable observations using regulated units.
What is natural selection?
Natural selection is when a species' organisms are adapted to the better of their environment that will most likely be able to reproduce, pass on their genetic traits throughout generations, and survive in the environment.
What are 5 examples of natural resources?
Water, sunlight, forests, minerals, and fossil fuels.
Why are cold and warm fronts important to weather?
Cold and warm fronts are important because their physical impact forces warm, humid air to rise, which then physically changes into clouds and precipitation.
Eclipses are an astronomical occurrence that happens when one celestial body shifts into the shadow of another.
Why are lab safety rules important?
Lab safety rules are important because they protect people from severe harm and prevent contamination in the environment.
What is the difference between artificial and natural selection?
The difference between artificial and natural selection is that artificial selection happens due to humans purposefully breeding species to what they want, while natural selection is when the environment pressures species survival.
