Nature of Science
What you use to record and display your data when looking for relationships among the variables.
What is a data table or graph?
I am the lowest part of a transverse wave.
What is a trough?
what is an example of conduction?
bacon frying
This layer of earth is made up of molten and solid rock
what is the mantel?
Earthquakes and Volcanoes are usually located in relation to these
what is a plate boundary
A representation of something in the natural world, typically too small or large to study up close.
What is a model?
I am the space between crests or troughs.
what is wavelength?
what is an example of convection?
water currents
wind
As you move closer to the center of the Earth, the pressure and temperature does this.
what is increases?
The mid-ocean ridge is an example of a ____________________ boundary and ___________________ occurs here where new ocean floor is formed.
What is divergent boundary; sea-floor spreading
Describes a basic principle of nature that always occurs under certain conditions (hint: explains HOW something happens).
What is a law?
I change direction when I travel through different mediums. What is this called?
What is refraction?
What is the energy transformation of a burning candle?
Chemical->Thermal
Fossils usually form in this type of rock.
what is sedimentary?
Hot air or liquid is less ________________ than cool air or liquid
After makings observations you begin to draw these conclusions.
What is an inference?
I can give you sunburn.
What are ultraviolet rays?
What is the energy transformation in the Human body?
chemical --> heat
chemical --> mechanical
These two things are formed when metamorphic rocks melt.
magma and lava
The two types of convergent boundaries
What is subduction (where volcanoes often occur) and collision (where mountains are usually formed)
A well-supported explanation of the natural world (hint: explains WHY something happens).
What is a scientific theory?
I am a wave that needs to travel through a medium. What am I?
What is a mechanical wave?
What is why can energy only flow from hot to cold and not the other way around?
you can only take heat away
Type of rock formed when molten magma or lava solidifies
what is igneous rock
This is the mechanism (what causes) the plates to move
what are convection currents?
