Matter
List 3 examples of matter.
Me, desk, oxygen, gatorade.
Describe MELTS and provide an example for each.
Mechanical
Electrical
Light
Thermal
Sound
List 3 fossil fuels
Coal, Oil, Natural Gas
Describe rotation and the cycle it causes
Rotate is the scientific word for spin. Earth rotates on its axis. The Earth's rotation causes day and night.
What is a decomposer and what does it do?
Fungi, mushroom, worm, and bacteria. They are responsible for breaking down organic matter and returning nutrients to plants.
Give one example of a mixture and describe how you would separate it.
Mixtures are combinations of substances of that maintain their physical characteristics once mixed together. Their physical properties help scientists determine the fastest way to separate them.
Decipher this silly science saying" If it's open it's _____, if its closed it _____".
" If it's open it's broken, if it's closed it flows". This is referring to circuits and switches.
Where can fossils be found
Inside sedimentary rock
Decipher this silly science saying (My very educated mother just served us nachos.)
This saying is used to remember the planets. Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune"
Give one example for each of the following.
Producer, Consumer, and Decomposer
Give one example of a solution and describe how you would separate it.
Construct a series circuit and describe what will happen if one light bulb goes out.
Describe how Sedimentary rock is formed.
WED + time and pressure
Weather is over a short period of time.
Climate is over a long period of time (30 years or more)
What does the arrow in a food chain/web represent?
Energy transfer.
Describe DENSITY and provide an experiment that would help determine an object's density.
How much matter and how tightly packed the particles are within a substance. A bowl filled with water can be used to determine an objects' density. (Sink or float)
Provide one example of reflection and one of refraction. Describe the difference between the two.
Refraction is when light ray bend once they hit a medium, and reflection is when light rays bounce back one they hit a medium.
List 4 types of landforms and their agents of change.
Deltas, Sand dunes, Valleys, Canyons. Water wind and ice.
Each day the sun rises in the ____ and sets in the _____. Why does this occur?
This happens due to Earth's rotation on its axis.
Which type of organism transfers the most energy?
Tell us about the stages of the water cycle and describe how water changes physical state.
Evaporation
Condensation
Precipitation
Run-off
Accumulation
Construct a parallel circuit and describe what will happen if one light bulb goes out.
The others bulbs that are attached to the other pathways will remain lit.
How are fossil fuels created
Fossil fuels form from dead organisms that were buried beneath sediment and underwent heat and pressure over millions of years.
Compare the Earth, Sun, and Moon. (Consider size, atmosphere, their cycles, craters, and what each is made of)
Moon and earth are made of rock. The Sun is composed of gases. The Moon has a thin atmosphere and the Earth has a think one. Moon phases, day and night, Seasons. Both the Earth and Moon have craters.
Construct a food web containing 10 organisms.
must include ( producers, consumers, and decomposers)
