The stages of the water cycle in order, starting with Evaporation. Double points for brief explanation!
What is evaporation (liquid to gas/heating), condensation (gas to liquid/cooling), precipitation (falling down), and runoff? Triple points if transpiration mentioned!
(Water Cycle)
An organism has large ears for cooling, tan colored fur for camouflage, and thick fur to protect its skin from direct sunlight. It's most likely this organism lives
Where is the desert?

Physical properties do not change in this even if combined, stirred, or tossed.
What is a mixture?
(Mixtures)
Instead of No Scrubs by TLC—we have No Circuits by ELC. Because without E__ __, L__, and C__ your circuit is open, or incomplete.
What is Energy Source, Load, and Conductor?
(Circuits)
Also how long Mr. Lundy can go without a Dr. Pepper, this is the amount of time it takes Earth to complete 1 rotation.
What is 24 hours/1 day?
(Earth's Rotation)
This describes weather patterns over a long period of time.
What is climate?
(Weather vs. Climate)
Don't let it's alias "non-living" fool you, these factors in an ecosystem were never alive in the first place.
What are Abiotic factors?
(Biotic and Abiotic Interactions)
90% of conductors are made of this material
What is metal?
I might swerve, bend that corner—changing lights direction and making objects appear bigger or smaller.
What is refraction?
(Behavior of Light)
Werewolves are real and come out on full moons, which means I should stay inside 1 night for about this long.
What is approximately 1 month (29.5 days)?
(Lunar Cycle)
UUUUUUUUU, not Souja Boy, but the shape of this valley is caused by this titan-sized ice.
What is a glacier?
(Landforms)
In this interaction, a mole burrows in the dirt.
What is biotic-abiotic?
(Biotic and Abiotic Interactions)
For triple points, name 6 physical properties of matter and briefly define them.
What is Physical States (solid, liquid, gas), Conductivity (energy flow/block), Magnetism (attraction to magnet), Relative Density (sink/float), Mass (how heavy--measured in grams), Solubility (dissolves in water)?
(Properties of Matter)
Electric men can't jump, so a gap in a circuit would make it incomplete. Add a switch in this position and the electricity is free to flow again.
What is down/closed?
(Circuits)
Seasons exist for 2 reasons, because of Earth's tilt on its axis and because of Earth's
What is revolution around the sun?
(Seasons)
WEDCC is the given acronym for these five steps, showing sedimentary rocks are formed.
What is Weathering, Erosion, Deposition, Compaction, Cementation?
(Sedimentary Rock)
In this interaction, a bird builds its nest out of twigs.
What is biotic-biotic?
(Biotic and Abiotic Interactions)
This mnemonic device helps to remember most all of my properties of matter.
What is "PleaSe Can Maggie RiDe My Scooter"?
(Physical Properties of Matter)
This game of tug of war is at a stalemate, which means this type of force is being exuded from both teams.
What are equal/balanced forces?
(Force and Motion)
Wax on, wax off, but Mr. Miyagi did not teach the name of the phases that come after a full moon.
What is waning?
(Moon Phases)
The nonrenewable resource trio, coal, natural gas, and oil could not have formed if not for "HP" over millions of years.
What is heat and pressure?
(Fossil Fuels)
In this interaction, the sun causes sunflowers to lean towards it.
What is abiotic-biotic?
(Biotic and Abiotic Interactions)
No, she can't ride your scooter, but you can name the 6 physical properties of matter.
What is Physical States, Conductivity, Magnetism, Relative Density, Mass, and Solubility?
(Physical Properties of Matter)
A typical complete circuit will flow all the way around, starting at the positive side of my battery and ending here.
What is the negative side?
(Circuits)
Name all three phenomena that Earth's rotation causes.
What is day/night cycle, changing of shadows size/position, and the apparent movement of the sun in the sky?
