Space Science
The high and low tides we encounter each day are controlled by this.
What is the gravitational pull of the moon?
The smallest living unit in organisms.
What is a cell?
The substance that magma becomes when it erupts out of the interior of the Earth.
What is lava?
The name for a testable model in the Engineering Design process.
What is a prototype?
A pure substance that makes up all forms of matter, and cannot be simplified into simpler substances.
What is an element?
Influenced by a fairytale, Earth is known as this due to its ideal location from the sun to support life.
What is the Goldilocks Planet?
The system responsible for carrying oxygen throughout the body and delivering it to the cells.
What is the circulatory system?
The type of plate boundary where two tectonic plates are moving towards each other.
What are convergent plate boundaries?
The first step in the Engineering Design Process.
What is define the problem?
What is made when at least two atoms chemically bond together and act as one.
What is a molecule?
Due to the decreasing amounts of gravity as you move away from the center of the Earth, there is none of this in space.
What is air? ( The mix of gases that we breathe)
The organelle within a cell that cellular respiration or the conversion of glucose to energy occurs.
What is the mitochondria?
This causes the tectonic plates on the surface of the Earth to move.
What is heat/convection currents from the Earth's core?
A factor that limits possible design solutions.
What is a constraint?
A combination of two substances that does not result in a chemical change.
What is a mixture?
The force of gravity between two objects depends on these two factors.
Two additional organelles that a plant cell has that an animal cell does not.
What are chloroplasts & cell wall?
The type of plate boundaries where tectonic plates are moving apart.
What are divergent plate boundaries?
What is make improvements?
The type of reaction that gives off thermal energy.
What is an endothermic reaction?
The placement of the moon in its orbit around Earth, when it is in a New Moon phase.
What is the moon is between the Sun and Earth? (when it is in the Sun's shadow, and not receiving much reflected sunlight).
Parts within a cell that do specific functions or jobs for the cell?
What are organelles
When a denser tectonic plate sinks under another and into the mantle.
What is subduction?
Specific goals that a design solution must meet in order to be successful.
What is the design criteria?
The amount of matter per volume of a given substance.
What is density?
