Life Science
In a food web, this type of organism is a source of food for consumers.
What is a producer?
This daily pattern is caused by the Earth rotating (or spinning) on its axis, while the Sun shines on different parts of the planet.
What is Day and Night?
When heating a liquid causes the weight to decrease, it is usually because the liquid changed into this state of matter.
What is a gas?
If a pitcher contains 2,000g of water and 200g of ice, the total mass of the water after the ice melts will be this many grams.
What is 2,200g?
If a student wants to prove that "Matter is Conserved" during a chemical reaction between baking soda and vinegar, what is the most important piece of evidence they must collect?
What is the total mass before and after the reaction?
When a fish senses movement in the water, signals travel from the sensory hairs to this organ before the muscles move.
What is the brain?
To determine the likelihood of an earthquake, scientists locate the nearest faults and these boundaries.
What are Tectonic Plate boundaries?
When drink powder is mixed into water, the particles do not disappear; instead, they do this throughout the water.
What is dissipate (spread out)?
If you have a closed system (like a bottle with a balloon) and mix baking soda and vinegar, the total mass after mixing will be ______ the mass before mixing.
What is "the same as" or "equal to"?
A cactus that is able to stay warm in cold winters grows this way.
What is grow in low clusters close to the ground?
When rain floods a beach, it is an interaction between the Atmosphere (air), the Hydrosphere (water), and this "sphere" (the land).
What is Geosphere?
A wave buoy converts the energy from moving water into this specific type of energy.
What is electrical energy?
The Earth’s tilt causes the Northern and Southern Hemispheres to have opposite seasons. In January, the Northern Hemisphere is tilted away from the sun and the Southern Hemisphere is tilted toward the sun. The US and Ireland both have winter & cold temperatures at the same time, so they both must be in this hemisphere.
What is the northern hemisphere (tilting away from the sun)?
In the fish sensory model, what would happen to the fish's ability to escape a predator if the "Nerve" shown in Figure 1 was damaged?
What is the brain would not receive signals from the sensory hairs, so the fish would not "know" to move its muscles to swim away?
Based on the Precipitation Table, which country is the most likely to have the most frequent interactions between its Hydrosphere and its Geosphere in the form of rain and mudslides?
What is Chile? (It has the highest average precipitation at 1,522mm/year?
In the wave buoy model, if the generator is designed to capture the motion of waves, what would happen to the electricity production if the ocean became perfectly calm with no waves?
What is the generator would stop producing electricity because there is no kinetic/moving energy to convert?
Look at the "Mixture in Pitcher" data. If the total mass is 2,706g, the pitcher is 500g, the water is 2,000g, and the powder is 6g, what is the exact mass of the Ice Cubes?
What is 200 grams?
Look at the cactus table. If a new cactus (Type 3) was found that had both pleat-like ridges and grew close to the ground, which two environmental challenges would it be best adapted for?
What are surviving cold winters (staying warm) and absorbing large amounts of water (expanding stems)?
If a student observes that the Sun is directly overhead at Noon in the United States, what is the Earth doing at that exact moment to cause it to eventually become "Night"?
What is rotating on its axis?
A student heats 100g of Liquid Z for 10 minutes instead of 5. Based on the data in Table 1, what is the most likely "Weight after Heating" for this new experiment?
What is a weight less than 89g? (Because more liquid would change into gas over more time).
In the baking soda and vinegar experiment, Student A claims the mass stays 43. What evidence from the Figure proves that this was a "closed system" where no gas escaped?
What is the inflated balloon? (It shows the gas was trapped inside the system).
