Gravity and the Solar System
Galaxies, Asteroids, Meteors, and Comets
Celestial Cycles
Tides and Eclipses
The Electromagnetic Spectrum
100
This force is what keeps everything in the universe together, and affects revolution/orbit, weight, and the tides.
What is gravity?
100
This is the whole of everything in space, including all bodies, solar systems, and galaxies.
What is the universe?
100
This cycle paints a different shape in the night sky throughout every 28 days.
What is the lunar cycle?
100
This is how many tides occur in a day.
What is 4 tides?
100
These waves are forms of light energy that travel at the speed of light.
What are electromagnetic waves?
200
One of these values is the measure of all of the "stuff" inside of an object, and the other value is the measure of gravity on the object.
What is mass and weight?
200
These bodies are large, rock-shaped objects that orbit the Sun and are smaller than planets.
What are asteroids?
200
DOUBLE JEOPARDY
In these two seasons, the lengths of day and night approximately equal.
What are Spring and Autumn (or Fall)
200
DOUBLE JEOPARDY:
This tide occurs when the ocean is at its highest level during the day.
What is high tide?
200
These waves have the lowest frequency and longest wavelength. They are used for broadcasting, satellites, radar, and navigation systems.
What are radio waves?
300
These two planets are known as "Ice Giants", but are part of the group of planets known as "gas giants".
What are Neptune and Uranus?
300
These are chunks of ice and dust that travel through space.
What are comets?
300
These terms explain the growing or shrinking of light in the lunar cycle.
What is waxing and waning?
300
The tide that occurs during the new moon and full moon.
What is spring tide?
300
These waves are a form of radio wave with the shortest wavelength and highest frequency. They are used for cooking food, mobile phone signals, WI-FI, and traffic speed cameras.
What are microwaves?
400
DOUBLE JEOPARDY
Located between Mars and Jupiter, this band is home to many of the rocky floating objects in our solar system.
What is the Asteroid/Kupier belt?
400
Our galaxy shares a name with a popular candy bar and is an example of a type of galaxy. Name both.
What is the Milky Way and spiral galaxy?
400
This stage in the life cycle of a star occurs in all stars before they take their own life paths.
What is main sequence?
400
The three types of lunar eclipses.
What are total, partial, and penumbral?
400
These waves are shorter than microwaves and are used for remote controls and thermal imaging.
What are infrared rays?
500
These are the celestial bodies found within our solar system from the center going out.
What are the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune (and pluto)?
500
These three galaxies make up all galaxies in the universe.
What are spiral, elliptical, and irregular?
500
These two stages of the seasonal cycle account for the longest and shortest days of the year.
What is the Summer Solstice and Winter Solstice?
500
This diagram is an example of this type of eclipse.
What is a solar eclipse?
500
These waves are the only part of the EMS that the human eye can see. It contains wavelengths that follow the acronym ROYGBIV.
What is Visible Light?
