Identify where the column that houses the Noble Gases would be found and list one reason they stand out.
The Noble Gases are the in the last column of the Periodic Table.  They are important because they are inert, or the most stable elements on the periodic table, having a full complement of valence electrons on the outer orbital.

What is 10?
400

Give the Formula for Newton's Second Law.


For Double Jeopardy, give an example of this Law in action.

What is Force = Mass X Acceleration (or F=ma)?


[Double Jeopardy = Example such as if you roll 3 toy cars down the same ramp, the greater the mass of the toy, the faster the acceleration.]  The examples will be settled at the teacher's discretion.

Explain the difference between Speed, Velocity, and Acceleration.  Be sure to give examples.

Speed is the rate an object travels (Distance divided by Time i.e. 45 mph).  

Velocity is the Speed AND Direction an object is moving. (Distance divided by Time plus Direction - North, South, East, West, Up, Down, etc. i.e. to the West at 45 kph/ms2.)

Acceleration is ANY change in speed, velocity or direction (like an airplane slowing down at a rate of 3 m/s2 or a skier leaning down as he makes a turn on a slope.)
