Physical properties can change when a physical change has occurred.


What is a new look produced, (Change in states of matter, like paper cut up etc...) but in a chemical change a new product that wasn't there before will occur. (Gas, Bubbles, Odor, Temperature, and/or Color etc...)

Electromagnet's can be made stronger or weaker by...


What is by adding or decreasing the amount of coils it has?

100

What can you differ between Constructive and Deconstructive forces...

What is, Constructive forces build up earth's surface like mountains and deposition. But Deconstructive process breaks down into the earth like weathering and earth quakes?

What is one organelle that shares in both the plant and animal cells? 

What is, the nucleus, cell membrane (Helps animal cells maintain their shape) as addition to the cell membrane allowing things to be in and out. Or etc...

What is the difference between inherited and acquired traits? And how do you know?

What is inherited traits are passed down from your parents. So we have 46 chromosomes 23 from our ma's and 23 from our dad's. Depending on which parent that has more chromosomes in for example eye color or shape you'll have it. That's why most girls look like their dad while most boy's look like their mom's. While acquired traits are given after birth like (Clothes, Glasses, Cut's/Wounds, and dying your hair a different color?

Physical properties can change when a chemical change has occurred.

What is a completely new substance like, (Rotting Vegetables/Fruit, Baking a Cake, or Burning wood).

 Materials like copper can pass through a magnetic field is there any other materials.



What is a paper, glass, or plastic?

With your background information of volcanoes, are volcanoes constructive, deconstructive, or both...

What is, volcanoes are both constructive and deconstructive. One reason why it's constructive and deconstructive is because as the lava (Magma) burst's out it destroys things in it's path but as the lava reaches out into the water it cools down and turns into a igneous rock?

What are some microorganisms that can cause itchy throat or sore throat?

What are viruses, (Strepathroatis)?

Is growing out of clothes an acquired or inherited trait?

What is, acquired traits. The reason why it's acquired traits is because that's after birth and it's not inherited because almost everybody grow out of their old clothes?

Compare and contrast mixing sand with water versus mixing salt with water. Do their physical changes differ.


What is when sand is mixed with water, it does not dissolve; instead, it settles at the bottom. This is a suspension. Or when salt is mixed with water, it dissolves completely, forming a solution.

With your background knowledge of how electromagnets work, design or build a model to show how electromagnets are used in trains like the Bullet train...

What is electromagnets are used in trains like the Bullet train because electromagnets can be adjusted due to the fact that if you add more coils the strength of the electromagnet will increase, but decreasing the amount of coils it has will decrease its strength? With this in mind trains like the Bullet train go faster than regular trains because (Gravity) pulls the train up over the tracks in order to increase its speed.

A group of students observed a rock formation near their school. Next the students observed a picture that showed what the rock formation looked like 100 years ago. They compared the picture with the actual rock formation and listed their observations. 

.The rock formation is smaller now than it was in the picture.

.Pieces of the rock formation have broken off and fallen to the ground.

.The rock is smoother in some places now than it was in the picture

.Large trees, instead of small shrubs, are now growing near the rock formation.

What can you BEST observe by the students.

What it the destructive process of deposition burying the rock formation over time?

300

What are some organelles both the plant and animal cells both share?

What is, the nucleus, cell membrane ( animal's cell membrane allows the animal cells to maintains its shape) chloroplast, cytoplasm... and (e,t,c...)

A tiger learns new tricks in a week, is this an acquired or inherited traits? Explain?

What is, acquired traits, the reason why this is acquired traits is because they gain this from their environment or after birth?

Why is it important to understand the difference in physical and chemical changes to use it in real world scenario's ?

What is understanding the difference in physical and chemical changes, helps us as humans to understand that when a house catch's on fire and new gas is produced it's a chemical change because that gas wasn't there before. But chicken defrosting is a physical change because you can freeze the chicken again?

How do people use static electricity in real life? How do people use human-harnessed electricity?

 What is, "static electricity: lightning, rubbing a balloon, shock from touching metal" / "human-harnessed electricity: lights, computers, charging phones"). Static electricity is used in printers and air purifiers. People use human-harnessed electricity to power homes, businesses, and technology like computers,phones, and smart TV's .

A student draws out an investigation to show how deltas are formed from deposition and weathering. The student wants to know what part of this formation is Constructive... What can you best conclude?

What is, deposition is the constructive part of this formation because deposition builds up new land forms?

Develop a public health awareness campaign (poster, video, or presentation) that uses scientific evidence to explain the dangers of harmful microorganisms and how to prevent infection.

What is, a video or poster that could include: Info on how bacteria like Salmonella and Listeria contaminate food. And prevention tips like (washing hands, cooking meat properly, wearing masks during outbreaks)?

What  two possible categories of vertebrates can a warm-blooded animal fall into?

What is a, Mammal or Birds...

Develop or design a model to explain how temperature changes affect the motion of water particles in all three states.

What is getting nine tubes or leakers three solid, liquid, and gas. Put one solid, liquid, and gas in a hot place or in hot water with lids on. Get another set of solid, liquid, and gas tubes but this time put it in normal temperature water like warm. And lastly redo the steps but in cold water. Then observe your observations.

Imagine you're designing a new way to use electricity, would you use static or human-harnessed electricity...

What is, I would use human-harnessed electricity because it is more reliable and can power machines for a long time. Static electricity cannot provide steady energy, so it would not be good for running appliances?

Develop a hands-on experiment or simulation to model how a river changes the landscape over time. What variables would you manipulate, and how would you ensure your data accurately reflects real-world processes?

  • What is, Experiment: Create a stream table using a sloped tray, sand, and flowing water to simulate river erosion and deposition.

  • Variables: Adjust water speed, volume, or sediment type to observe different erosion rates.

  • Data accuracy: Record sediment movement, measure changes in the land, and compare results to real river systems.

Design or investigate an experiment about learning about dangerous viruses like the flu and chickenpox. That can later help scientists try to lower the risk of catching these viruses?

Why do animals need both instincts and learned behaviors to survive in their environment?

What is, animals need instincts to do important things like breathing, hiding from predators, or finding food right after birth. They need learned behaviors to adapt to new environments or situations—for example, a bear learning which areas have the most food?
