100
A scientist should include this type of evidence, collected from investigation, to support their explanation.
What is Empirical Evidence?
100
A statement that describes a phenomenon of nature without explaining why it happens
What is a Scientific Law?
100
A car moving at a constant speed is experiencing these types of forces.
What is a balanced force?
100
When sound waves move from the air into a pool of water, their speed changes, causing this to occur.
What is Refraction?
100
A transformation where a wind turbine changes the energy of motion into usable electricity.
What is kinetic to electrical energy?
200
This process of performing an experiment multiple times increases the reliability of the data, as opposed to Replication, which is another scientist performing the experiment.
What is Repetition?
200
The Atomic Theory and other well-tested explanations can change and be revised over time when scientists introduce this.
What is New Evidence?
200
This non-contact force is described by the fact that opposites attract and likes repel.
What is electrostatic, magnetic, or electrical force?
200
This type of electromagnetic wave has the longest wavelength and the lowest frequency.
What are Radio Waves?
200
Give an example of transformation from Thermal to Chemical Energy.
What is thermal/heat energy from the stove cooking your food?
300
In an experiment testing how fertilizer affects plant growth, the height of the plant is this measured variable.
What is the Outcome (Dependent) Variable?
300
This is the term for a simplified representation, like an image, that can have a limited scope and size compared to the real object.
What is a Model?
300
If a block is sliding across a table and slowing down, the block is experiencing these types of forces.
What is an unbalanced force?
300
When light hits a smooth, polished surface and bounces back, it is undergoing this wave interaction.
What is Reflection?
300
Give an example of Transformation from Electrical to Kinetic Energy.
What is electrical energy from a wall outlet is transformed into thermal energy, radiant energy, and sound energy on my laptop when I watch a video?
400
Mass, volume, or time are all examples of this that should be included with every number to display accurate data
What are Units of Measurement?
400
Analyzing this type of visual is used to determine relationships between variables and to make predictions.
What is a Graph?
400
An astronaut's mass is constant everywhere, but this measurement changes depending on the gravity of the celestial body.
What is Weight?
400
Light travels fastest through which mediun?
What is gas or a vacuum?
400
A pendulum converts this type of energy at its highest point into the other type of energy as it swings toward the bottom
What is Potential Energy to Kinetic Energy?
500
A controlled experiment requires that only this many variables be manipulated, while all others are kept constant.
What is One?
500
What is being measured?
What is luminosity and temperature?
500
The amount of gravitational force between two objects is directly affected by their distance and this property.
What is Mass?
500
If you increase a wave's frequency, you are also increasing its energy, which causes this other property to decrease.
What is Wavelength?
500
This transformation occurs when a battery is connected to a light bulb, turning it into light and thermal energy.
What is Chemical to Electrical to Light/Thermal Energy?
