States of Matter

100

This is the state most people are familiar with, consisting nearly everything we see daily.

What is solid? 

200

Dry Ice, AKA Solid CO2, becomes Gaseous CO2 immediately upon melting due to this.

What is sublimation?

300

This is one of few metals in liquid form near room temperature.

What is mercury and/or gallium?

(other metals that fit this criteria also count)

400

The Celsius Scale is based on the states of matter changes of this molecule.

What is water?

500

This is the temperature in which all elements, molecules, and compounds will become solid, regardless of pressure, and as a result, is known as absolute zero.

What is -273.15*C, -459.67*F, or 0*K?

Energy & Conversions

400

These are train-like amusement park rides that use the properties of energy conversion to create extremely fast and fun experiences.

What are roller coasters?

500

This type of energy is the most variant, held by limits that it can break daily.

What is light?

Photosynthesis & Respiration

400

This is the common name for the food/sugar produced by plants via photosynthesis. 

What is glucose?

500

This creature's photosynthetic abilities allow the whole of its population to make a surprisingly large amount of oxygen in the air; however, most of the species is not considered plant.

What are algae?

Food Web

400

Often confused with a food web, this type of chart provides a similar purpose, however on a different scale.

What is a food chain?

500

This animal is known as a keystone species in North America, which was almost hunted to extinction in the late 1700s and early 1800s.

What are beavers?

Resources

100

This is a greenhouse gas most accredited to global warming, stuck in a cycle thrown off by human factories.

What is CO2?

200

Unlike minerals, these consist of multiple minerals squashed together via volcanic eruption, sediment, or pressure.

What are rocks?

300

This is an element necessary for life, which makes up 70% of the earth's atmosphere, however, it is useless for life in this form.

What is nitrogen?

400

These are crystalline carbon minerals that are mined in countries, often centered in Africa, that are controlled by the companies mining them.

What are blood diamonds?

500

This is the only natural mineral able to change color with a change in light source. (ex. LCD light shows a different color than candlelight)

What is Alexandrite?
