Engineering
This branch of engineering deals with the design and use of electrical power and systems.
Electrical Engineering
This simple machine is essentially a ramp used to lift heavy objects with less effort.
Incline Plane
A very common, strong material often used in construction and building structures like bridges and buildings.
Steel or Concrete
The force that pulls objects towards the center of the Earth.
Gravity
This process allows plants to convert sunlight into energy.
Photosynthesis
What is the name of the branch of engineering that focuses on structural designs like buildings and bridges?
Civil Engineering
A doorknob and a screwdriver handle are examples of this simple machine that uses a larger wheel turning a smaller axle to multiply force.
Wheel and Axle
These materials are made by joining different materials together to create something with improved properties, like fiberglass.
Composites
This describes the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance in an electrical circuit (V = IR).
Ohm's Law
The process where water changes from a liquid to a vapor.
Evaporation
This type of engineering focuses on the design and manufacture of machines, often using metal components.
Mechanical Engineering
This simple machine uses a bar that pivots on a fixed point to lift or move objects. An example is a seesaw.
Lever
Space shuttle insulating tiles are an example of this type of material, known for being able to withstand high temperatures.
Ceramics
This type of energy is associated with motion.
Kinetic
This is the name for the amount of water vapor currently in the air.
Humidity
This branch of engineering deals with materials, their properties, and their processing to create useful products.
Materials Engineering
Used to lift heavy loads or change the direction of force, this simple machine consists of a wheel and rope or cable.
Pulley
This broad class of materials includes plastics and rubber.
Polymers
The bending of light as it passes from one medium to another (opposite of reflection)
Refraction
When air resistance matches the force of gravity, a falling object reaches this speed.
Terminal Velocity
This branch of engineering deals with the development and use of computer hardware and software.
Project Management Engineering
An inclined plane wrapped around a cylinder forms this simple machine, used to hold things together or drill into materials.
Screw
These materials are generally strong, hard, and conduct electricity well, making them useful in many engineering applications.
Metals
For every action, there is what type of reaction? (according to Newton's Third Law)
Equal and Opposite
What is the name of the tiny particles that make up everything around us?
Atoms
