body systems
Protects and supports body organs and provides a framework the muscles use to support movement. Made up of bones and joints
skeletal system
What is the difference between weather and climate?
Weather is the day-to-day state of the atmosphere (e.g., cloudy, 85°F), while climate is the average weather pattern in a place over many years.
Can air make shadows?
yes
Allows manipulation of the environment, locomotion, and facial expression. Maintains posture, and produces heat.
muscular system
How does the Sun affect weather?
The Sun provides heat energy that causes water to evaporate, fuels wind through uneven heating of the Earth's surface, and drives ocean currents.
Can humans ever directly see a photon?
Yes, scientific research suggests that the human eye is capable of detecting a single photon.
Brings oxygen into the body. Gets rid of carbon dioxide.
respitory system
How do oceans impact climate?
Oceans store and move heat, influencing humidity levels and acting as the primary source for water vapor in the atmosphere.
the body's speedy, electrochemical communication network, consisting of all the nerve cells of the peripheral and central nervous systems
nervous system
What causes air to move (wind)?
Air moves due to differences in air pressure (from high to low) and density, which are driven by temperature differences
a vital network consisting of the heart, blood vessels, and blood, designed to transport oxygen, nutrients, and hormones to cells while removing waste products like carbon dioxide
cardiovascular system
How do clouds form?
Clouds form through condensation, where water vapor in the air cools and turns back into liquid water droplets.
