These are the three types of rock.

What are Igneous, Sedimentary, Metamorphic?

100

Rain, sleet, snow, and ice are all forms of this.

What is precipitation?

100

This universal force pulls objects on earth towards the core.

What is gravity?

100

 Food webs display all possible pathways of energy through an ecosystem by connecting these.

What are food chains?

100

This is the largest planet in the solar system.

What is Jupiter?

200

This is the theory that argues the Earth's crust is made up of huge masses that float on the mantle shifting landmasses and oceans. 

What is Plate Tectonic Theory?
200

Water moving from oceans to land, atmosphere, rivers, and lakes is called this.

What is the water cycle?

200

Tension and Torsion were two forces utilized by ancient people to fire this war machine.

What are catapults? (Mangonel and Ballista also accepted)

200

These lowest level of food chains and webs create all energy for every ecosystem on earth.

What are producers?

200

This is the blueprint that tells every cell in our bodies what to do and what it looks like.

What is DNA?

300
This type of plate boundary occurs where two tectonic plates push together.

What is a convergent boundary?

300

When water is warmed in a body of water, it does this.

What is evaporates?

300

The stretched rubber band from the in-class catapults utilized this force.

What is tension?

300

Without these the Earth would be covered in waste and dead organisms, and nutrients wouldn't be returned back to the soil for producers.

What are decomposers?

300
These modern day animals evolved from land based organisms to marine organisms of 110 million years, and still have vestigial legs pointing to their origins.

What are whales?

400

Metamorphosis, Melting, and Sedimentation are processes that make up part of this earth encompassing cycle.

What is the rock cycle?

400

High pressure systems bring dry atmospheric air down to the surface of Earth creating this "arms out" worthy weather.

What is clear skies (sunny)?

400

Parachutes attached to egg drop devices increased this force.

What is drag?

400

Lions in the Tropical Grasslands of the Sahara are great examples of this trophic level.

What is a tertiary consumer?

400

Frequency is the measure of how many waves pass in a given time, but this is a measure of the height of the wave.

What is Amplitude?

500

Rift Valleys, such as the one in East Africa, occur at this type of plate boundary.

What is a divergent boundary?

500

Low pressure systems bring this sometimes thundering weather.

What are storms?

500

This force comes from the ground pushing up and is the reason minimizing impact for the egg drop is so important.

What is normal force?

500
Only this much energy moves from one trophic level up to another.

What is 10%?

500

When running an electric current through a coiled wire wrapped around a nail, you create a simple version of this.

What is an electromagnet?
