The Scientific Method
100
This is the largest planet--317 x Earth, by mass.
What is Jupiter?
100
Newton's second law tells us this is equal to mass x acceleration.
What is Force?
100
This is also called the "windpipe," and leads from the mouth or nose to the bronchial tubes.
What is the trachea?
100
There are 8 of these in our Solar System. There used to be 9, but Pluto got demoted.
What are Planets?
100
This is another word for a scientist's educated guess.
What is Hypothesis?
200
This planet has highly visible rings made of dust, rock, and ice
What is Saturn?
200
Every action has one, according to Newton's third law.
What is an equal and opposite reaction?
200
These tiny air sacs are where the lungs exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide with the blood.
What is the Alveoli?
200
This planet--not dwarf planet--is farthest from the sun.
What is Neptune? (Pluto is now a dwarf planet).
200
These are the variables you keep the same every time you run an experiment.
What are Controlled Variables?
300
Sometimes this planet is closer to the sun than Pluto. Sometimes it's further away.
What is Neptune?
300
Newton's first law--that objects that are still stay still, and objects in motion stay in motion--can be summed up by this one word.
What is Inertia?
300
This muscle does all the work of the respiratory system.
What is the Diaphragm?
300
This is the smallest planet in our Solar System.
What is Mercury?
300
This is the first step of the Scientific Method.
What is Asking a Testable Question? (Asking a Question is fine, too).
400
This planet tilts at an angle so extreme, it rotates on its side, and one summer lasts 42 Earth years.
What is Uranus?
400
When a bus stops abruptly and you bump into the seat in front of you, it's this Law of Motion that's at work.
What is Newton's 1st, or Inertia? (Either answer works!)
400
This gas is the waste product our respiratory system breathes out.
What is Carbon Dioxide?
400
This planet was visible near the moon during April, and sometimes its red color is visible to the naked eye.
What is Mars?
400
These variables are the ones you measure or observe.
What are Dependent Variables.
500
This giant, spinning, atmospheric storm is more than twice the size of Earth, and was discovered on Jupiter by Giovanni Cassini in 1665.
What is the Great Red Spot?
500
This is the Law of Motion that rocket launches rely on.
What is Newton's 3rd Law? (Also accept "every action has an equal and opposite reaction.)
500
These tiny air passages lead connect the bronchial tubes to the air sacs in the lungs.
What are the Bronchioles?
500
This is the reason Venus is the hottest planet, even though Mercury is closer to the sun.
What is its Thick Atmosphere? (Also accept Greenhouse Gases.)
500
This is the phrase scientists use that means an experiment is repeated over and over, for more reliable results.
What is Multiple Trials?
