Scientific Investigations
This is what the experimenter changes in the investigation.
What is a variable?
Drops of water form on the outside of a soda can.
The formation of clouds.
What is condensation?
This is when sediments are pressed together as a result of a lot of heat and pressure.
What is sedimentary rock?
This type of landform creates hills and are results of wind & deposition.
What are sand dunes?
This type of organism provided energy to 1st level consumers.
What are plants or what are producers?
This tool would be used to find the weight of an apple.
What is a spring scale?
This would be much less on the moon.
What is weight?
What is weight?
The carrying away of sediments by wind or water.
What is erosion?
Fungi, bacteria and mushrooms.

What is a measure of the force of gravity on an object?
The breaking down of rock by wind or water.
What is weathering?
The coldest biome.
What is tundra?
An experimenter is using a sling shot to release balls and taking measurements to determine the distance they travel after being released.
What is a force & motion experiment?
A student observes light bending through a prism and a hand lens.
What is refraction?
Students build race cars using straws and balloons.
What is an experiment with force and motion?
The dropping off of sediments to new places. Agents include wind, water and ice.
What is deposition?

What is the tropical rain-forest.
An experimenter has a piece of carpet, sandpaper a piece of foil, a golf ball and a ruler.
What is an experiment investigating friction?
A student observes light bouncing back from a mirror and a piece of shiny metal.
What is reflection?
Students are experimenting with balloon race car models and use different size balloons.
What is a variable?
The 6th planet from the Sun which has the largest rings in the solar system.
What is Saturn?
This insect was first an egg, then a nymph multiple times, and is now an adult.
