Engineering
This is the first version we build and test of a design idea.
What is a PROTOTYPE?
Energy of movement, based on mass and speed.
What is KINETIC ENERGY?
This type of magnetic pole will ATTRACT a NORTH pole?
What is a SOUTH pole?
What is 23.5?
These organisms make their own food, usually from sunlight - also know as an autotroph.
What is a PRODUCER?
The distance a car travels down a ramp in centimeters is an example of this type of data.
What is QUANTITATIVE?
The Gravitational Potential Energy of an object is based on its WEIGHT and this.
What is HEIGHT?
This type of electric charge will REPEL a NEGATIVELY charged object.
What is a NEGATIVE charge?
What are the GAS GIANTS
This type of organism breaks down dead organisms and returns nutrients to the soil.
What is a decomposer?
This is the creative process in which team members suggest new ideas and discuss design solutions.
What is BRAINSTORMING?
Average kinetic energy of the particles of a substance is measured as this.
What is TEMPERATURE?
An object becomes charged when it gains or loses this.
What is ELECTRONS?
What are VENUS and MERCURY?
This is a SYMBIOTIC relationship where one organism benefits, and the other is unharmed and does not benefit, like a bird using a tree for a home.
What is COMMENSALISM?
The limits we have in a design project, like what materials we can use or our budget, are examples of this.
What is a CONSTRAINT?
The total kinetic energy of all of the particles of a substance is this type of energy.
What is THERMAL?
The only one of these metals that is NOT ferromagnetic; nickel, copper, cobalt, iron.
What is COPPER?
This the day of the year (two word name - not date!) when Iowa receives the most direct sunlight.
Summer Solstice
This is an adaptation type that organisms have where cells automatically react to a change in the environment, like humans sweating.
What is PHYSIOLOGICAL?
Giving up the strength of a design in order to choose a material that is lighter, is an example of this step/idea in Engineering.
What is MAKING TRADE-OFFS?
Heat, or the movement of thermal energy, always goes in the direction of THIS type of substance to WHAT type of substance?
What is HOT(ter) to COLD(er)?
This is a magnet that can be turned on and of.
What is an ELECTROMAGNET?
On December 21st, sunlight is hitting this line of latitude most directly.
What is the TROPIC of CAPRICORN?
This is the maximum number of organisms of a species that an ecosystem can hold, based on its limiting factors.
What is CARRYING CAPACITY?
