100
The observed effect of the force of gravitation.
What is Gravity?
100
A stable elementary particle that is negatively charged and orbits the nucleus of an atom.
What is an Electron?
100
A measure of randomness or disorder of a closed figure.
What is Entropy?
100
A type of simple machine; a slanted surface that makes it easier to move a mass from a lower to higher point.
What is an Inclined Plane?
100
A set of object, organisms, or different parts acting to form a whole.
What is a system?
200
The change in direction of a wave caused by passing an obstacle or traveling through an opening.
What is Diffraction?
200
A substance that cannot be reduced by a simpler substance by chemical means.
What is an Element?
200
A fundamental principle stating that energy cannot be created nor destroyed but only changed from one form to another.
What is Conservation of Energy?
200
The pivot point of a lever.
What is a Fulcrum?
200
The event, condition, or factor that can be changed or controlled in order to study or test a hypothesis in a scientific method.
What is a Variable?
300
Force of air on moving objects.
What is Air Resistance?
300
Unit of energy; the amount of heat needed to raise one gram of water one degree celsius at standard atmospheric pressure.
What is a Calorie?
300
A physical change that occurs when matter changes to another state (i.e., liquid, gas, or solid)
What is Change of State?
300
Factor being measured or observed in an experiment.
What is a Dependent Variable?
400
The time-rate at which a body changes its position; defined as displacement divided by the time of travel.
What is Velocity?
400
A subatomic particle having zero charge, found in the nucleus of an atom.
What is a Neutron?
400
A change of energy from one form to another (e.g., mechanical to electrical, solar to electrical).
What is Energy Transfer?
400
A piece of glass with polished plane surfaces that disperses a beam of white light into its component colors.
What is a Prism
400
The factor that is changed in an experiment in order to study changes in the dependent variable.
What is an Independent Variable?
500
The property of an object, due to its mass, that causes it to resist any change in its motion unless overcome by a force.
What is Inertia?
500
A particle, object, or system that lacks a net charge.
What is Neutral?
500
The process of changing from a gas (i.e., water vapor) to a liquid (i.e., dew); the act of making more dense or compact.
What is Condensation?
500
A type of simple machine; a circular lever, usually a wheel with a groove where a rope can be placed and used to change the direction of a force.
What is a Pulley?
500
A plan of inquiry that uses science process skills as a tool to gather, organize, analyze, and communicate information.
What is the Scientific Method?
