Energy and Circuits
This type of energy travels from an electrical outlet to power appliances like a toaster or blender.
What is electrical energy?
This is the invisible downward force that pulls on an object, like a paper airplane, while it is in the air.
What is gravity?
If you accidentally drop chocolate chips into a bowl of dry flour, you can easily separate them using this kitchen tool with tiny holes.
What is a coffee filter? (Alternatively: What is a wire mesh/sieve/strainer?)
A galaxy consists of gas, dust, any objects that orbit them, and these glowing celestial bodies.
What are stars?
When floodwaters warm up and change from a liquid to a gas, they have undergone this process.
What is evaporation?
When drawing a circuit diagram, both switches must be in this position for all the lightbulbs to light up at the same time.
What is closed?
If you push a friend in a swing using more of this, the swing will have more motion.
What is force?
To make a block of solid chocolate dissolve faster in liquid milk, you should apply this to the milk.
What is heat?
Compared to the outer planets in our solar system, the inner planets are smaller, warmer, and have this type of composition.
What is rocky?
What is transpiration/evapotranspiration?
If someone's hair stands up and is attracted to a balloon, it is because the hair and the balloon have this type of electricity.
What is a static?
ulling a wagon will be easier and the wagon will move farther if you decrease this property of the wagon.
What is mass?
This tool is highly effective for separating magnetic items, like iron or certain gravels, from a mixture of soil and seeds.
What is a magnet?
These are not considered planets because they are irregularly shaped and simply orbit the planets or the Sun.
What are asteroids?
As you hike higher up a mountain, the elevation increases and this measurement decreases, often changing rain to snow.
What is temperature?
Because it conducts electricity, this metal office supply could be used to complete a switch in a circuit.
What is a metal paperclip?
If a balloon hovers in the exact same spot in a room for three days, the forces acting on the balloon can be described as this.
What is balanced?
This action would test whether a substance is sand or sugar.
What is dissolving in water?
During this specific moon phase, the moon is located directly between the Earth and the Sun.
What is a new moon?
This process involves water vapor turning back into water droplets, forming a cloud.
What is condensation?
When an electric blender is turned on, the electrical energy transforms into this type of energy.
What is mechanical energy?
Rolling a toy wagon over tile, carpet, and concrete allows scientists to investigate how this type of force affects the wagon's movement.
What is friction?
Placing fruit in a refrigerator slows down this natural breakdown process because of the colder temperatures.
What is decomposing?
To accurately model how the Earth moves in space, a student must rotate on an axis while doing this around the Sun.
What is revolving?
Meteorologists use this specific weather tool to measure wind speeds, such as determining if winds have reached gale force.
What is an anemometer?
