Matter
A substance that conforms to the shape of its container, has a fixed volume and flows.
solid, liquid, gas, states of matter, atom, element
liquid
The stored energy of the position possessed by an object.
potential energy, kinetic energy, Newton's 1st law, Newton's 2nd law, Newton's 3rd law, momentum, velocity
potential energy
A tiny structure in the cytoplasm of a cell where proteins are made.
prokaryote, eukaryote, ribosome, cytoplasm, golgi apparatus, lysosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, vacuoles
ribosome
A semipermeable layer that keeps all of the pieces of a cell inside. It can allow some things to enter and leave.
cell, cell theory, cell wall, cell membrane, nucleus, organelle, mitochondria, chloroplast
cell membrane
Stored energy that an object has because of how high or how low it is off the ground.
variable, independent variable, dependent variable, gravitational potential energy, mechanical energy
gravitational potential energy
This is the smallest piece of matter that is an element. Every solid, liquid, and gas has at least one of this type of thing.
solid, liquid, gas, states of matter, atom, element
atom
How much stuff is moving and how fast it is moving. This is important in figuring out how fast an object can stop.
potential energy, kinetic energy, Newton's 1st law, Newton's 2nd law, Newton's 3rd law, momentum, velocity
momentum
It’s missing a nucleus. DNA is not clumped in one spot.
prokaryote, eukaryote, ribosome, cytoplasm, golgi apparatus, lysosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, vacuoles
prokaryote
A tiny cellular structure that performs specific functions within a cell.
cell, cell theory, cell wall, cell membrane, nucleus, organelle, mitochondria, chloroplast
organelle
This is what you measure in the experiment and what is affected during the experiment.
variable, independent variable, dependent variable, gravitational potential energy, mechanical energy
dependent variable
A substance that expands to fill all of a container; it does not have a fixed shape and it does not have a fixed volume.
solid, liquid, gas, states of matter, atom, element
gas
An object will remain still until something causes it to move. An object in motion will remain in motion until something causes it to stop.
potential energy, kinetic energy, Newton's 1st law, Newton's 2nd law, Newton's 3rd law, momentum, velocity
Newton's 1st law
A “gel-like” material and cell organelles.
prokaryote, eukaryote, ribosome, cytoplasm, golgi apparatus, lysosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, vacuoles
cytoplasm
The scientific idea that living things are made up of cells.
cell, cell theory, cell wall, cell membrane, nucleus, organelle, mitochondria, chloroplast
cell theory
A feature or factor that could change in an experiment.
variable, independent variable, dependent variable, gravitational potential energy, mechanical energy
variable
A substance that is made entirely from one type of atom.
solid, liquid, gas, states of matter, atom, element
element
The energy of motion.
potential energy, kinetic energy, Newton's 1st law, Newton's 2nd law, Newton's 3rd law, momentum, velocity
kinetic energy
Small round cell structure that contains chemicals that break down large food particles into smaller ones.
prokaryote, eukaryote, ribosome, cytoplasm, golgi apparatus, lysosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, vacuoles
lysosomes
The working organelles that keep the cell full of energy.
cell, cell theory, cell wall, cell membrane, nucleus, organelle, mitochondria, chloroplast
mitochondria
The total of all of the kinetic and potential energy in an object that is used to do work.
variable, independent variable, dependent variable, gravitational potential energy, mechanical energy
mechanical energy
A substance or object that is firm and stable in shape; not a liquid or a gas.
solid, liquid, gas, states of matter, atom, element
solid
Force equals mass times acceleration. How much force is needed depends on the weight (mass) and how fast you want it to go. F=ma
potential energy, kinetic energy, Newton's 1st law, Newton's 2nd law, Newton's 3rd law, momentum, velocity
Newton's 2nd law
Storage bubbles found in cells. They are found in both animal and plant cells.
prokaryote, eukaryote, ribosome, cytoplasm, golgi apparatus, lysosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, vacuoles
vacuoles
Protects a plant cell from the outside world with a structure that provides protection and support (it helps it to stay up).
cell, cell theory, cell wall, cell membrane, nucleus, organelle, mitochondria, chloroplast
cell wall
A physical phenomenon produced by the motion of electric charge, resulting in attractive and repulsive forces between objects.
magnet, magnetic force, magnetic pole, magnetic field, magnetic field lines, magnetic declination, charge, electromagnet
