The star closest to our planet.
What is the Sun?

What is the hydrosphere?

all of the liquid water and ice on Earth

200

The change or cause to change from a gas or vapor to a liquid

Condensation

200
An organism that makes it's own food.
What is a producer?
200
A push or a pull that changes the motion of an object.
What is a force?
200
The path one object takes around another object in space.
What is an orbit?
200

What is the geosphere?

all the rock, soil, and sediment that makeup Earth's land

the process of turning from a liquid into vapor.

300

What does a herbivore eat?

Plants 

300
A force that causes a spring scale to show weight of an object.
What is gravity?
300
One of these takes about 365 days.
What is Earth's revolution around the Sun?
300

What is the biosphere?

Give one reason why we should use desalination as a water source and give one reason we should not. 

Answers may vary. 

Desalination is expensive bad for the environment and uses lots of energy, brine production  

Desalination can be used to provide freshwater to communities that do not have access to fresh water, restore ecosystems 

400

An animal who breaks down dead things

Decomposer 

400
The measure of distance an object moves in a given time.
What is speed?
400
the Earth does this in a 24 hour period.
What is rotate on it's axis?
400

What is an atmosphere?

layers of gases surrounding a planet

500

Describe the process of the water cycle using these vocabulary words: 

ocean, condensation, precipitation, water vapor and evaporation 

Answers may vary: 

Ocean water is heated up by the sun causing evaporation to happen. Water vapor condenses together to form liquid droplets. Enough liquid droplets come together to form clouds and precipitation occurs. (rain)

500
A network of overlapping food chains in an ecosystem.
What is a food web?
500

A force that opposes motion and acts between 2 objects that are touching.

What is friction?

500
The planets in order from the Sun
What is Mercury,Venus,Earth,Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune
500

Give an example using any 2 of Earth's systems and how they interact with each other

Answers may vary. 

Gases in the atmosphere affect the rocks on Earth (geosphere)

Volcanic eruptions (geosphere) sent huge amounts of gases into the atmosphere 

Weather in the atmosphere changed which affects plant and animal life (biosphere) 

Water temperatures in oceans (hydrosphere) were affected by the asteroid's impact on Earth (geosphere) which impacted ocean life (biosphere)
