Weather
A movement of ocean water that follows a regular pattern
Ocean Current
The energy of an object that is due to the object's motion
Kinetic Energy
A set of interacting parts that work together; sometimes considered distinct from their surroundings only for the purpose of study
System
A living thing; anything that can carry out life processes independently
Organism
The average weather conditions in an area over a long period of time; temperature and precipitation are usually included
Climate
Any form of water that falls to Earth's surface from the clouds; rain, snow, sleet or hail
Precipitation
The energy that an object has because of the position or condition
The application of science for practical purposes; the use of tools, machines, materials, and processes to meet human needs
Technology
Simple cell that does not have a true nucleus
Prokaryotic Cell
True or False: Warmer, less dense air rises above a heat source. As the air cools, it becomes more dense and sinks back down.
True
The change of a state from a liquid to a gas that usually occurs at the surface of a liquid over a wide range of temperatures
Evaporation
The transfer of energy to an object by using a force that causes the object to move in the direction of the force
Work
The specific requirements and standards a design should meet
Criteria
Directs or controls all activities of the cell
Nucleus
True or False: Brainstorming is the first step in the engineering design process.
False: Define the problem
The continuous movement of water between the atmosphere, the land, the oceans, and living things
Water Cycle
Energy can never be created or destroyed but can be transferred or transformed
Law of Conservation of Energy
Limitations that define the boundaries of a design process
Constraints
Converts energy stored in food to a form of energy that the cells can use
Mitochondria
What are the three types of energy transfer that can occur?
Conduction, Convection, Radiation
A large body of air that has the same properties as Earth's surface over which it develops
Air Mass
The process of energy changing from one form into another
Energy Transformation
A type of design testing that is repeated many times as part of the engineering design process; the results of each repetition are used to modify the next version of the product or tool
Iterative Testing
Larger and more complex cell; contains a nucleus
Eukaryotic Cell
What are the three main differences between a plant cell and animal cell?
Plant cell has cell wall, chloroplast, and one large vacuole
