Heat Transfer
This was the source of heat energy for our solar ovens.
What is the sun?
This meteorologist proposed the theory of continental drift in the early 20th century.
Who is Alfred Wegener?
This is what you get when you rub a mineral on a ceramic plate--its color is much more reliable when identifying minerals than the color of the whole sample.
What is streak?
This body system is responsible for breaking down food.
What is the digestive system?
This rate is calculated by distance divided by time.
What is speed?
This is a measurement of the average kinetic energy of the molecules in a sample.
What is temperature?
This is a sudden movement of Earth's tectonic plates.
What is an earthquake?
This mineral property describes the way it reflects light, and can be glossy, dull, or metallic
What is luster?
This body system is responsible for taking in oxygen.
What is the respiratory system?
This is a change in speed or direction.
What is acceleration?
This is the type of heat transfer that happens when things are touching each other.
What is conduction?
This is the type of plate boundary where tectonic plates move towards each other.
What is a convergent boundary?
This scale measures the hardness of a mineral.
What is Mohs hardness scale?
This was the largest organ inside our frogs we dissected.
What is the liver?
This is the total of all the forces acting on an object.
What is net force?
This is the type of heat transfer that causes warm fluids to rise.
This is the type of boundary where tectonic plates move away from each other.
What is a divergent boundary?
This category of rocks form from magma cooling INSIDE of the Earth.
What is intrusive igneous rock?
This organelle is where the cellular respiration happens.
What is the mitochondria?
This unit of force is equivalent to the amount of force needed to move 1 kilogram a distance of 1 meter in 1 second.
What is the Newton?
This type of heat transfer involves the emission of electromagnetic waves.
What is radiation?
This is the type of plate boundary where tectonic plates slide past each other.
This mineral property describes the way it breaks.
What is cleavage?
In cellular respiration, glucose and oxygen are turned into carbon dioxide and this molecule.
What is water?
This is the rate of acceleration of gravity on Earth.
What is 9.8 meters per second per second?
