What are the 4 layers of the Earth in order from the surface to the center of the Earth?
What is crust, mantle, outer core and inner core.

Elements are pure substances that make up all matter. What is the basic building block of all the elements on the periodic table?
What is atoms are the basic building blocks.
100
What happens to gravity when a person is in an airplane?
What is the gravity is less because the person is further away from the center of the Earth.
100
What do plants and animals have in common?
What is they both have cells.

The Earth has many spheres that interact with one another. Imagine you are at the beach. What type of spheres are all interacting at once while you are at the beach? Remember, there are 4 types of spheres!
What is biosphere, hydrosphere and Geosphere. Biosphere is made up of all living animals, like humans and the animals in the ocean. Hydrosphere because of the water, and Geosphere because of the sand or ground at the beach.

As a substance warm ups, it begins to have less of a defined shape and its particles have more kinetic energy. What change is happening to the substance?
What is it is changing from a liquid to a gas or a solid to a liquid.

When you use your foot to push off the ground to walk, according to Newton's Third Law of Motion, what happens?
What is the ground pushes back with the same amount of force, this is because for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction (equal force).

A bird decides to make a nest in a tree. The tree provides protection for the bird. What type of relationship is this?
What is a commensalistic relationship because the tree is not benefited or harmed.
300
In the winter, the Southern Hemisphere is titled toward the Sun, receiving the greatest amount of solar energy. What type of temperatures and amount of daylight will happen in the Southern Hemisphere during this season?
What is warmer temperatures and increased daylight
300
What are NOT some examples that show chemical change?
What is liquid melting, an object becoming a solid, steam from heating a liquid, two chemicals separating into two layers, gas changing to a liquid, etc.
300
What type of energy happens when you go up a hill and then go down it?
What is when going up the hill and make it to the top you have potential energy and then kinetic energy as you go down.
300
In the park, many groups of living things live together. What type of things would you find in this ecosystem?
What are rocks, pavement/concrete, sand, birds, grass, and people.
400
What position shows Spring Tides, the strongest tides?
What is positions A and C because they will have the strongest pull from the moon.
400
How would the molecules look in an item that has low density?
What is the molecules would be more spread out and away from one another.
400
Jose and Gina are both pushing on a box. Jose pushes with 20 N of force and Gina pushes with 15 N of force. What happens to the box?
What is the box will move 5 N to the right because Jose is pushing with greater force causing it to go in the direction he was pushing (to the right).
400
What do organisms that are abiotic need to survive?
What is sunlight, water and oxygen.
500
What type of rock is represented in Location 2?
What is sedimentary rocks.
500
Rare earth elements are a special group of elements that we can find on the periodic table. What are some examples of what rare earth metals are used for?
What is production of smartphones, electric vehicles, computers, medical equipment, cameras, batteries and magnets.
500
What happens to the kinetic energy in the diagram above?
What is the kinetic energy decreases in A and B due to being pushed back and then increases as the spring releases at C.
500
What are some characteristics of a prokaryotic cell?
What is they are smaller, less complex, have no membrane-bound organelles and have DNA in the nucleoid.
