What is the difference between inherited, instinct, learned and acquired?
What is inherited refers to inherited traits we have from birth, such as eye color. Instinct refers to a behavior we are born with such as crying. Learned refers to behaviors we develop over our life time such as learning to ride a bike or speak a particular language. Acquired refers to traits gained over a life time such as a broken beak.

Name 5 forms of Alternative Energy.
What is solar, wind, geothermal, biofuels and hydroelectric energy.

How is the formation of sedimentary rock a cycle?
What is rocks are broken down into sediments, then deposited to form layers then, compressed and cemented together. Then the new rock begins the cycles again by being weathered, eroded and deposited

Describe the three states of matter using water as an example. Include the boiling and freezing/melting point of water.
What is water is a liquid (it has a definite volume but no defintie shape, it's molecules can take the shape of it's container) but it can freeze into a solid (it's molecules become tightly packed together and have a definite shape and volume) at 0 degrees Celsius. It can then melt back into a liquid at 0 degrees Celsius and evaporate into a gas (now the molecules have enough energy they can take on the shape and volume of any container, such as the air in this room.) at 100 degrees Celsius.

What is the difference between revolution and rotation. Demonstrate each.
Rotation is spinning on an axis and revolution is traveling around another object.
300
Compare Complete and Incomplete Metamophosis.
What is they both have egg and adult while only Incomplete Metamorphosis has a nymph stage.
300
Explain the difference between renewable and non-renewable resources.
What is renewable resources can be replaced quickly while non-renewable resources take millions of years to replace.
300
Name the stages in the Incomplete Metamorphosis life cycle.
What is egg, nymph and adult
300
Define solubility and solution
Solubility means a substance can be dissolved in another substance. The result is a solution which is a special mixture where one substance is so spread out in another substance you cannot tell the difference between the two.
300
What unit of measurement do we use to measure force.
What is newtons.
400
Define adaptations and give two examples.
answers may vary.

Describe the process of forming sedimentary rock and how it is connected to the formation fo fossil fuels.
What is sedimentary rock is formed when sediments are deposited in layers and compressed over a long period of time. Cementation then occurs and turns sediments into hard rock. Organic material (dead plants and animals) are trapped in between the layers of sedimentary rock where they are exposed to great heat and pressure over millions of years and become coal oil and natural gas.
400
What are the stage in complete metamorphosis
What is what is egg, larva, pupa and adult
400
What is the difference between mass and weight?
Mass is the amount of matter in a substance, measured in grams with a balance scale, while weight is the measure of gravity pushing down on an object.
400
Name and describe the 3 forces we have discussed.
Gravity: the force that keeps us on Earth. The Sun's gravity also keeps the planets in their orbits.
500
Describe how living and non-living things interact with each other in the environment. Include several examples.
answers may vary.
500
Describe what conservation of resources and why it is so important to the environment. Use examples in your explanation.
answers may vary.
Conservation is using our resources wisely so that we do not run out.

Compare the complete and incomplete metamorphosis life cycles.
What is What is they both have egg and adult while only Incomplete Metamorphosis has a nymph stage?

Explain the difference between a fixed and a movable pulley. Which one reduces the force needed to do work and why?
What is a fixed pulley stays in place, like hanging for a ceiling. A movable pulley is connected to the object to be lifted and moves with the object. The movable pulley reduces force by distributing mass/weight between to strings or ropes.
