Life Science
Plants make their own food through this process
photosynthesis
puffy cloud, looks like cotton balls.
cumulus
phase that is able to flow; and can take up the space of the container.
liquid
stored energy.
potential energy
how far an object travels in a certain amount of time.
energy is what travels between organisms in this pathway.
food web
a transfer of heat, the sun heats the water causing it to rise and turning it into water vapor.
evaporation
particles of this phase are very close together and do not move around very much at all; the particles move very slowly.
measure of the average kinetic energy.
temperature
reduces motion by working against it.
animals or organisms that break down dead animals.
decomposers
weather conditions of a particular area.
climate
a combination of two or more substances.
mixture
A sound’s loudness.
volume
affects objects that are in fluids, usually water
buoyancy
an ecosystem constantly recycles organisms and nonliving materials.
waste disposal
occurs when water vapor turns into a liquid.
condensation
molecules that make up iron and oxygen are rearranged; an example of a chemical change.
rust
a force, it is an attraction or repulsion of magnetic materials.
magnetism
The position that you are in as you experience motion
frame of reference
the population size that an ecosystem can support without damaging the ecosystem.
carrying capacity
The place where two different air masses meet
front
occurs when the gas changes directly to a solid like frost appearing on a windshield.
deposition
occurs when a heat source comes into contact with another mass that is cooler.
conduction
an object will not change its state of motion unless an outside force makes them move.
inertia
