Newton's Laws
The object that hit Newton on the head.
What is an apple
The positively charged subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom
What is a proton
The branch of science that deals with the study of heredity, genes, and variation in organisms
What is genetics?
The step where you try and predict what will happen in advance.
What is the hypothesis
The law that states an object in motion will stay in motion, and an object at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon by an external force.
What is Newton's First Law of Motion or the Law of Inertia?
The smallest subatomic particle, found orbiting the nucleus, with a negative charge.
A celestial event where the moon passes through Earth's shadow, causing a temporary darkening of the moon
What is a lunar eclipse?
The gear worn to ensure personal safety in a laboratory setting.
What is laboratory PPE (Personal Protective Equipment)
The law that states force equals mass times acceleration.
What is Newton's Second Law of Motion?
The neutral subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom
What is the neutron
The branch of physics that deals with the study of heat and its relation to other forms of energy
What is thermodynamics?
The part of an experiment where conditions are kept constant to serve as a comparison
Control variables
The law that states for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?
The central part of an atom containing protons and neutrons.
What is the nucleus?
The study of the Earth's atmosphere, focusing on weather processes, patterns, and phenomena.
What is meteorology?
The process used to ensure that measurements and observations closely represent the true value of the quantity being measured.
What is calibration or ensuring accuracy in data gathering?
When a person jumps off a diving board, this law explains why they move forward into the pool after leaving the board.
This reaction releases Carbon dioxide, water and heat
Combustion of Hydrocarbons
The phenomenon where a substance changes directly from a solid to a gas without passing through an intermediate liquid phase
What is sublimation?
In an experiment measuring plant growth under different light conditions, the amount of light given to the plants.
What is the independent variable?
