The only pattern where as x grows, y gets smaller.

What is inverse?

100

The variables v, a, d, and t stand for these things.

What is velocity, acceleration, distance, and time?

100

This is the rate at which all objects fall to earth, including its units.  

9.8 m/s2

100

This is the stage of the engineering design process you'd be in if you are hungry and you are having people over in an hour who are also hungry.  You have peanut butter and jelly and taco stuff in your fridge.

What is Problem Statement?

100

Ms. Prehn has this many kids.

What is 2?

200

If you graph the angle of a pendulum and the time it takes for it to complete one back-and-forth swing, you get this pattern.

What is the horizontal pattern?

200

This uses the units m/s2.

What is the unit of acceleration?

200
m x g x h

What is the formula for GPE?

200

The thing that you manipulate or change in an experiment.  

What is the independent variable?

200

These are 2 of the 3 teachers who you might have for Chemistry next year.  

Mr. Mikkelson, Mr. Castro, Mr. Goodwin.

300

The only pattern that has a y-intercept other than 0. 

What is linear?

300

This is the name for a change in velocity.

What is acceleration?

Draw and label a diagram showing the Barbie Bungee Jump 1) at the top, 2) as she is falling, and 3) at the bottom. Label the types of energy present at each stage.

When writing a CER in science, it is always good in include these, if you've got them!

What are numbers?

300

This is the amount of live plants in this classroom.

The c-value in the proportional pattern is the same as this value, which is studied in Algebra.  

What is 'm', or slope.

400

A person runs at a constant rate of 8 m/s . How much distance will they cover in 10 minutes?

4800 m

(8 m/s * 10 min * 60 s/min)

400

The total energy of a falling object is always equal to this other quantity of energy in the same closed system.  

What is the GPE at the top?

400
These are guidelines or restrictions someone is asking you do abide by.

What are constraints and criteria?

400

These are Ms. Prehn's kids' names.

Who are Josie and Tommy?

500

These are 3 things we have studied so far this year that follow the proportional pattern.

What are velocity (distance vs. time), acceleration (velocity vs. time), and GPE (GPE vs. height)

500

The 2 patterns you can use to show constant velocity and the 2 patterns you can use to show constant acceleration. (include what is on the x and y axes)

What is proportional on a distance time graph and horizontal on a velocity/time graph, and quadratic on a distance time graph and proportional on a velocity time graph?

500

5 different kinds of energy we have discussed in class. 

(Identify more than 5 and get an extra 100 bonus points per additional kind of energy you can name.)

This is another word for model or mock-up.

What is prototype?
