What is the heliocentric model?

100

This equation is used to calculate an object's density. 

What is D=M/V?

200

This variable in an experiment is changed on purpose by the investigating scientist. It is also graphed on the X axis when data is analyzed.

What is the independent variable?

200

Predicted by the color of a star. 

What is temperature?

200

The element with 54 protons in its nucleus. 

What is xenon?

200

This is the organelle in which cellular respiration takes place. 

What is the mitochondria?

200

Increasing this will increase the rate of a chemical reaction. 

What is temperature?

200

This term used for describing moon phases means mostly full of light. 

What is gibbous?

300

This variable in an experiment is measured by the investigating scientist. It is graphed on the Y axis when data is analyzed.

What is the dependent variable?

300

How bright a star appears from Earth's perspective based on the star's distance from the Earth. 

What is apparent magnitude?

300

The process that occurs when a new substance is formed that has entirely new properties than what was started with. 

What is a chemical change?
300

The process that breaks down food to provide cells energy and releases carbon dioxide. 

What is cellular respiration?

300
The amount of light energy given off by a star. 

What is absolute brightness (luminosity)?

300

During this lunar phase a lunar eclipse may occur. 

What is full moon?

What is a compound?

400

This is the movement of Carbon throughout the planet. 

What is the carbon cycle?

400

This states that the gravitational attraction between objects (such as in our Solar System) depends on their distances and their masses. 

What is the Law of Universal Gravitation?

400

Fruit punch is an example of this type of mixture. 

What is a homogeneous mixture?

This process uses oxygen and glucose to create carbon dioxide, energy, and water.

What is cellular respiration?
