Force and Motion
The force of attraction between any two objects due to their mass.
What is Gravity?
The water that is released from clouds in the sky; includes rain, snow, sleet, hail, & freezing rain
What is precipitation?
The motion or transmittal of heat through a liquid or gas because of the natural rising of the heated parts and sinking of the cooled parts.
(indirect contact – NO touching)
What is convection?
The measure of the warmth or coldness of an object
What is temperature?
The group of organisms of the same species living in the same area
What is population?
The measure of the amount of matter in an object.
What is mass?
The continual movement of water between the land, ocean, and the air.
What is Water Cycle?
The transmission or transfer of heat through matter (direct contact - touches).
What is conduction?
A fast flowing, river of air found in the atmosphere
What is a Jet Stream?
A new organism that is the product of reproduction
What is offspring?
The force that opposes the motion of one object moving past another.
What is friction?
The process of gas turning into a liquid
What is condensation?
The energy that comes from a source and travels through space
(indirect contact – NO touching; ex. the rays from the sun)
What is radiation?
The device that measures wind speed.
What is anemometer?
To receive genetic information and traits from a parent (ex. Blue eyes, red hair, dimples, etc.)
What is inherited traits?
A push or pull exerted by one object on another, causing a change in motion.
What is force?
The process in plants by which water is taken up by the roots and released as water vapor through stomata in the leaves
What is transpiration?
The transition of thermal energy or simply heat from a hotter object to a cooler object.
This transition can be made by conduction, convection or radiation.
What is Heat Transfer?
A puffy cloud that appears to rise up from a flat bottom (looks like a cotton ball).
Behaviors we learn to do (ex. learning to read, tie our shoes, type)
What is learned behaviors?
Strength or speed of movement
What is momentum?
A living part of an ecosystem.
What is biotic?
The three types of heat transfer.
A high-altitude cloud with a featherlike shape, made of ice crystals.
What is a cirrus?
A group of organisms that share similar characteristics and can mate with each other to produce offspring
What is species?
