Energy is created when these two components interact.
What are copper coils and magnets?
100
A warm Coke is placed in a cooler of ice. An hour later it's icy cold. This is how it happened.
What is the heat from the Coke was transferred to the ice?
100
This type of boundary occurs when two tectonic plates move towards each other, so that one goes underneath the other.
What is a convergent boundary?
100
This is the process in which earthen materials are worn down and transported away.
What is erosion?
100
Proteins are made up of these.
What are amino acid chains?
200
You've got a copper coil and some magnets. What determines how much electricity can be produced?
What is the distance between the magnet and copper OR the speed with which they're spinning OR the strength of the magnet?
200
This is how molecules of hot air move compared to molecules of cold air.
What is faster?
200
This is the way in which lava and magma are different.
What is lava is on the surface and magma is underground?
200
This is when waves hit the shore at an angle, and cause a zig zag movement of sediment along the shore.
What is longshore drift?
200
Different sections of our DNA contain these.
What are genes?
300
This is when energy changes from one form to another as it moves between objects.
What is energy transformation?
300
This is what temperature measures.
What is the average kinetic energy (KE) of the molecules.
300
This type of volcano does not form at tectonic plate boundaries.
What is a hot spot?
300
This is an ocean current that moves parallel to the shore.
What is a longshore current?
300
Our strands of DNA are wrapped around 23 pairs of these.
What are chromosomes?
400
This is known as the energy of motion.
What is kinetic energy?

If a cup of cocoa has cooled so it's the same temperature as the air surrounding it, it's called this.
What is equilibrium?
400
This type of boundary occurs when two tectonic plates move away from each other.
What is a divergent boundary?
400
This is what causes wind.

This tool used to predict the inheritance of traits actually looks like a window when sketched on paper.
What is a Punnett Square?
500
This is the term for stored up energy.
What is potential energy?
500
The amount of energy needed to change the temperature of an object by a given amount depends on what?
What is the TYPE of matter, the AMOUNT of matter, or the temperature and composition of the environment?
500
There are different types of volcanoes. Name one.
What is a shield volcano OR composite volcano (AKA stratovolcano) OR a caldera?
500
This is how you would describe the pace at which most weathering takes place.
What is gradual or slow?
500
This type of trait seems to cancel out recessive traits.
What is a dominant trait?
