What is Earth Science?
What are the names of the 4 spheres?
Bio,Geo,Hydro,Atmosphere
What is matter?
Anything that has volume or mass
A substance composed of two or more elements and atoms.
This form of matter is tightly compact and does not allow much movement for the atoms composing of it
What is a solid?
Solid to Liquid
Melting
What is the geosphere?
What is an element? What are some parts you may find inside an element?
A element is a substance that cannot be broken down, you would find protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Name the three types of bonds found in nature.
Covalent, Ionic, Metallic
This state of matter takes the form of the container it sits inside of, the atoms are excited but still together.
What is a liquid
Liquid to Solid
Freezing
What is the atmosphere?
The blanket of gas that surrounds our planet
Hydrogen and Helium
What is a molecule?
Two or more elements held together by a covalent bond
This state of matters atoms are completely broken apart due to temperature and will bounce around.
What is a gas?

Evaporation
What is the hydrosphere?
All of the water on Earth
Silicon and Oxygen
What is an ionic bond?
The attractive forces between two ions of a opposite charge. (NaCl) where Na is positive, Cl is negative, creating salt.
Moving beyond normal temperatures, this state of matter is so excited that when they collide in their space, electrons fling off
What is plasma
Gas to Liquid
Condensation
What is the biosphere?
Encompasses all organisms and the environments they live in.
What is an isotope?
Elements that have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons.
What is the law of conservation of matter and energy?
Energy and Matter cannot be destroyed or created in normal chemical processes.
Solid to Gas
Sublimation
