Life Science
You ______ things when you organize them into groups based on characteristics they share.
Classify
______ is anything that has mass and is in one of the states of matter.
Matter
1. New substance NOT formed
2. Temporary
3. Only affects physical properties
Physical Change
A ______ is an object that produces a magnetic field.
Magnet
The movement of materials from one place to another by natural methods and can be a destructive process, such as when a landslide moves material from the top of a mountain.
Erosion
Animals with _____ are called vertebrates.
Backbones
These are developed after the organism is born and are not passed to offspring by parents.
Acquired Traits
A ________ is a process where one or more substances change chemically to one or more different substances.
Chemical Reaction
These are formed by the destructive forces of weathering and erosion because flowing water breaks down rock and carries the small pieces downstream.
Valley

Tsunamis
_______ are living things that are too small to be seen without magnification. Some are beneficial to people and the environment. Others can be harmful and cause disease.

Instincts
A ________ is something that contains two or more substances that are not combine chemically.
Mixture
A _________ is the area of magnetism around an object.

3. Crabs
________ is the effect of the apparent flow of electrons through a conductor.
Electricity
A constructive process whereby soil and rock that are eroded from one locatoin are deposited as sediment in another location.
Deposition
_______ are any type of object through which an electric current cannot flow. They are used to protect people from electric currents.
Insulators
These are single-celled microorganisms that can live in almost every environment and grow and reproduce on their own.
Bacteria
These are even smaller than _____ and cannot reproduce or grow unless they infect another organism.
Viruses
_________ is the flow of an electric charge through a conductor.
Electric Currents
The surface of Earth, including under the ocean, is made up of _______. These form sections of the surface of Earth, and some of these move toward or away from each other.
Tectonic Plates
________ is the force of attraction between two electrically charged objects or a charged object and a neutral object.
