Think like a scientist
100
The state of matter that is a table or pencil for example.

What is a solid

100

This is the layer of earth that we are on.

What is the crust?

100

It all starts with this object, which provides the energy for plants to create their own "food" energy. 

What is the sun?

100

This is the first step in the engineering process. You find a problem and think of a __________ for it.

What is a solution? 

100

We made two column tables all year that included these two science thoughts

What are notice and wonder? 

200

The state of matter that describes water between aproximately 1 degree and 99 degrees celcius.

What is a liquid

200

Plates that push together are likely to form this over a long period of time.

What is a mountain?

200

Animals are called this, because they get their energy by eating other things.

What are consumers?

200

This is sometimes engineered so that you can gather data to answer a question.

What is an experiment? 

200

This is what DQB stood for in our science classes.

What is "driving question board"? 

300

This is the state of matter that will spread out to fill its container

What is a gas

300

This is the "liquid" rock that is deep inside the earth and melted because of heat and pressure

What is magma? 

300

Plants are called this, because they make their own energy.

What are producers? 

300

This is the step after building your design, testing it, and analyzing the data. 

What is make changes to design? 

300

This is why it is important to run an experiment more than one time.

What is to make sure that the data/experiment is accurate? 

400

These two states of matter will take the shape of their container.

What are liquid and gas?

400

These are the three types of plate boundaries.

What are convergent, divergent, and transform? 

400

These are the things that eat things that eat the plants.

What are secondary consumers? 

400

These are three different kinds of engineering careers.

What are chemical, mechanical, electrical, biological, medical, computer, etc. (name any three) 
400

This part of our models allowed us to "see" things at the particle/molecular level.

What are "zoom ins"? 

500

Typically in this state of matter, the molecules are the closest together. Water in this state actually expands because the molecules move apart

What is a solid? 

500

The tallest mountain in the world, Mt. Everest, is found on the border of these two countries. 

What is Nepal and China? 

500

This is what it is called when an ecosystem reaches balance in populations.

What is equilibrium? 

500

This is what CAD stands for when engineering on a computer.

What is computer aided design? 

500
This type of graph is great for showing changes over time. We used them for temperature changes and  population changes as a couple examples. 

What are line graphs?
