Scientific Method
What is the factor you measure or observe in an experiment. ex: the rate sugar dissolves in hot or cold water.
What is the dependent variable?
This happens to kinetic energy if an object’s speed doubles?
What is the kinetic energy increases by four times?
The process turns liquid water into water vapor.
What is Evaporation?
These types of plate boundary forms mountains?
What are Convergent boundary.
A change in the shape of a material due to applied forces.
What is Deformation?
These are the five steps of the scientific method?
What are Ask a scientific question, form a hypothesis, conduct an experiment, observe and collect data, draw conclusions.
This is the point beyond which a material doesn't return to its original shape. Example: A helmet's foam deforming during impact to protect the head.
What is The elastic limit?
This is when Water vapor cools and turns into liquid, forming clouds.
What is condensation?
The Grand Canyon is an example of a landmark created by this this natural phenomena.
What is Erosion?
These occur when plates move apart, forming new crust.
What are Divergent boundaries
This is the factor you change in an experiment.
What is the independent variable?
This is the Energy of Motion.
What is Kinetic Energy?
In this process plants release water vapor into the air through their leaves.
What is transpiration?
This is the explanation of how weathering, erosion, and deposition shape landscapes.
What is "Weathering breaks rocks into smaller pieces, erosion moves the materials, and deposition settles them in new locations."
The settling of sediments in new locations. Example: Sand building up to form a sandbar.
What is Deposition
It is important to have these in an experiment to ensure the test is fair and that only the independent variable affects the dependent variable.
What are controlled variables?
This happens to energy during a collision.
What is Energy can transform into heat, sound, or deformation?
Rain, Snow, Hail, Sleet
What are forms of precipitation.
Caused by the heating and cooling of the Lithosphere this is the mechanism that causes the movement of tectonic plates
What are Convection Currents?
It is conserved because the total____________ before and after a collision remains constant in a closed system.
What is momentum?
This is how you would Compare and contrast qualitative and quantitative data.
What is Qualitative data is descriptive (e.g., color or texture), while quantitative data is measurable (e.g., length or temperature).
A force exerted when two objects touch each other.
What is a contact force?
Gravity plays a role in the water cycle in these two key ways.
What is it causes water to flow during runoff, infiltrate into the ground, and fall back to Earth as precipitation.
These are the common names for Earth’s three layers in order from outermost to innermost.
What are crust, mantle, core.
A testable prediction stated as "If [I do this], then [this] will happen because [reason]."
What is a hypothesis.
