Matter
What is matter?
Matter is anything that takes up space and can be weighed.
What are simple machines?
Simple machines are machines that make work easier.
What part of the water cycle is where rain happens?
It is precipitation.
What is an element?
A pure Substance.
What are the 3 types of rocks?
Igneous, Sedimentary and Metamorphic.
Name one example of how Solid turns into liquid.
Ice to water.
Name six types of simple machines.
What is evaporation?
It is the process where liquid turns into gas.
What is the abbreviation for iron on the periodic table?
Fe
What is the oldest rock?
The oldest rock is the Igneous rock, with 1 million to 4.5 billions years old.
Solid, liquid and gas.
What is a wheel and axle?
A wheel and axle is a simple machine consisting of a circular wheel connected to a cylindrical axle.
What is condensation?
Condensation is when water vapor turns into liquid water due to cooling or contact with a cold surface. It forms clouds, dew, and visible water droplets.
Name three common elements found in the Earth's atmosphere.
Oxygen, Nitrogen and Carbon dioxide.
How is the metamorphic rock made?
What is a pulley?
A pulley is a wheel that carries a flexible rope, cord, cable, chain, or belt on its rim.
Why is the water cycle important to earth?
The water cycle is important to Earth because it distributes freshwater, influences weather and climate, supports ecosystems, shapes the Earth's surface, and helps regulate temperature.
How are elements different from compounds?
Elements are pure substances made up of one type of atom, while compounds are substances formed by the combination of different elements. Elements cannot be broken down further, while compounds can.
How is the sedimentary rock formed?
First, pieces of rocks are loosened by weathering, then is transported to a basin where the sediment gets trapped, If the sediment is buried deeply, they get compacted and cemented, forming a sedimentary rock.
How do simple machines help us in our daily lives?
It reduces the amount of energy used when performing certain tasks, like going up ramps, Screws, scissors, etc.
What are the steps of the water cycle in order?
The water cycle steps are
Evaporation, Condensation, Precipitation, Interception, Infiltration, Percolation, & Transpiration
What are the three main categories of elements on the periodic table, and how are they differentiated?
The three main categories of elements on the periodic table are metals, nonmetals, and metalloids. Metals are shiny, good conductors of heat and electricity, and can be hammered into thin sheets. Nonmetals are dull, poor conductors, and often exist as gases or brittle solids. Metalloids have properties between metals and nonmetals and act as semiconductors.
Can you explain how the rock cycle happens?
The rock cycle is a continuous process where rocks are formed, broken down into sediments through weathering and erosion, and then reformed into new rocks. It begins with the formation of igneous rocks from cooling magma or lava. These rocks can be weathered and eroded, and the resulting sediments can be deposited and compacted into sedimentary rocks. With heat and pressure, these rocks can undergo metamorphism and transform into metamorphic rocks. Through melting and cooling, rocks can return to the igneous stage, completing the cycle.
