The mass of an object is 89 kg and the net force of the object is 450 Newtons.  What is this objects acceleration in meters/s2?

5.06 m/s2.  Remember we round to the hundredths place in 8th grade science.

100

What is the charge of the atomic nucleus?

Positively charged.

100

What determines an element's reactivity?

The number of valence electrons.

100

What does a first quarter moon look like? Describe it. 

White on the right half.  Dark on the left half. 

100

If you get this wrong, you lose 1,000 points.

Pressure moves in a pattern from...

High to low. 

200

What is kinetic energy?

Energy in motion.

200

How many electrons can each of the first three electron shells hold?  List them in order. 

Shell 1: 2

Shell 2: 8

Shell 3: 8

200

Which group is the most reactive?

Group 1, the Alkali Metals.  

200

If you get this right you may switch points with anyone you want.

In which type of boundary do subduction zones occur? 

Convergent boundary.    ---><---

200

Daily triple!

What do you call a group of more than one of these eight-armed cephalopods?

Octopi

300

What is potential energy?

Stored up energy.

300

Daily double! If you get this wrong you lose double too. 

What determines an atom's reactivity? 

Valence electrons. 

300

Daily triple!  If you get this right, you get triple if you get this wrong you lose triple. 

Which element is the MOST reactive?

Fluorine

300

During the first and third quarter moon phases, the earth experiences this type of tide.  

Neap tide.

300

If you get this right, first spin changes points with second spin.

According to the movie Madagascar, the ring-tailed lemur "likes to..."

"Move it, move it"  

Now, good luck getting that song out of your head >:)

400

What are Newton's three laws of motion?  List them in order. 

1. Law of inertia

2. Law of f=ma

3. Law of action/reaction

400

If you get this wrong, EVERYONE loses 500 points. 

What element has 57 protons?

Lanthanum 

400

What determines an element's reactivity?

The valence electrons.

400

During the full moon and new moon, the earth experiences this type of tide.

Spring tide.

400

If you get this wrong, everyone loses all their points. Don't trust El Mago, he is the anti scientist... just saying. 

What causes weather, convection, and seasons on planet earth?

"The uneven heating of the earth's surface by the sun."

500

Daily double!

What is the net force of an object with a mass of 350 grams and an acceleration of 20 m/s2?

7,000 Newtons.

500

What group has seven valence electrons?  I want the name of the group not the number.  

The Halogens.  

500

Why do elements react at all? What do they all want to do?

Have their electron shells full.  

500

At night the land is cooler than the ocean, because of this wind moves from the land towards the sea.  What do we call this phenomena? 

Land breeze.
500

Daily triple!  If you get this right, spin one gets 1,500 points but then switches points with spin 2.  If you get this wrong... we spin 3 times and each person loses 1,000. 

Finish the lyric, and you have to sing it too, "Just call my name, I'll be there in a hurry
You don't have to worry..."

"Cause baby, there ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough,
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you, baby"
