Classification
Animals without backbones, they include insects, worms, and spiders. Over 5 million of these exist.
What are invertebrates?
The effect of the flow of electrons through a conductor. This is also energy that powers homes, cars, and phones.
What is electricity?
A constructive process whereby soil and rock are eroded or taken from one location and deposited into another location.
What is deposition?
The control center of a plant cell and animal cell.
What is a nucleus?
This type of magnet only works when an electric current is flowing through a wire. You can make these using a battery, a switch, and a wire wrapped around a nail.
The physical characteristics that are used to describe an organism.
What are traits?
The buildup of an electrical charge in or on the surface of an object. A common cause is when two objects are rubbed together.
What is static electricity?
A destructive process where rocks and soil are broken down into smaller parts. It can also break down roads, buildings, and other materials.
What is weathering?
This is a seed producer where the seeds are enclosed in a flower or fruit.
What is an angiosperm?
The different forms in which matter can be found. Solid, liquid, and gas.
What are the states of matter?
This type of trait is passed on from parents to their offspring/ children. These include eye color, height, and beak shape for example.
What are inherited traits?
Any type of object through which an electric current can flow. Metal is the most common, but water is also one of these.
What is a conductor?
The movement of materials from one place to another by natural method. It can be a destructive process such as a landslide.
What is erosion?
This a seed producer where the seeds are exposed and naked. Some examples are pine and cyprus trees.
What is a gymnosperm?
When more than one substance is combined to form a new substance or when matter breaks down into two or more substances.
What is a chemical change?
These are traits that are NOT passed from parents to offspring. They develop after the organism is born. Things you learned or things that have happened to you. Riding a Bike or getting a scar or broken bone.
What are acquired traits?
Any type of object through which an electric current cannot flow. Glass and rubber are very common materials.
What is an insulator?
This landform and force of nature has a magma chamber, a vent, and can be considered both a constructive and destructive force.
What is a volcano?
These are cell structures that are found only in plant cells and not animal cells.
What are the cell wall and chloroplasts?
When matter has a change in its physical properties but not it's chemical properties. For example salt can be dissolved in water, but when the water evaporates, the salt is still there.
What is a physical change?
A type of behavior that is not inherited, but acquired through teaching or learning. For example knowing where to find food, tying your shoes, or riding a bike.
What is a learned behavior?
This a circular path with a power source, wire, and possibly light bulbs. You can also add a switch to it to start and stop the flow of electricity.
What is an electric circuit?
This destructive force occurs near fault lines and is measured using a seismograph. Energy is released from the epicenter underneath the ground.
What is an earthquake?
This is a device used to see things the human eye cannot.
What is a microscope?
What is a gas?
