The three states of matter

What are solid, liquid, and gas?


100

This is the process that plants use to make their own food

What is photosynthesis?

100

In a series of rock layers, the oldest layers of rock will be found here:

Where is at the bottom?

100

These are the three different types of rock in the rock cycle.

What are igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary?

100

This organelle directs the activities of the cell, and contains the organism's DNA.

What is the nucleus?

100

This is the title of the most recent Beyonce album

What is Cowboy Carter?

200

The signs that a chemical reaction has occurred

What are a gas is formed, color change, temperature change, precipitate formed, new substance produced

200

These are the three things that are necessary for photosynthesis to occur

What are sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide
200

This event, which created a rock layer called the KT boundary, wiped out the dinosaurs approximately 65 million years ago.

What is the asteroid impact in Yucatan, Mexico?

200
These are the processes that form igneous rocks.

What are melting, cooling, and crystallization?

200

This method of heat transfer is why the handle of a pan is hot when you touch it.

What is conduction?

200

These are the birds, usually kept on farms, that Mr. K has living in his backyard.

What are chickens?

300

This property of matter is the temperature at which it changes from a solid to a liquid

What is melting point?

300

These are the products of photosynthesis

What are glucose and oxygen

300

This is the outer layer of the Earth, which is made up of rocky tectonic plates.

What is the crust?

300

This is how metamorphic rocks form.

What is other rocks being transformed by intense heat and pressure?

300

This method of heat transfer is why hot fluid rises and cool fluid sinks. (It also takes place in Earth's mantle!)

What is convection?

300

The former title of Momentum Academy

What is EAGLE College Preparatory Schools?
400

This property of matter is the temperature at which it changes from a liquid to a gas

What is boiling point?

400

This is the function of the roots in a plant

What is to take in water

400

This is the thickest layer of the Earth, which contains convection currents and is made of magma.

What is the mantle?

400

This is why you cannot find a fossil in a metamorphic rock.

What is the fossils will get squished and destroyed by the heat and pressure?
400

This is the most common greenhouse gas in the atmosphere, released when humans burn fossil fuels

What is carbon dioxide?

400
This is the former principal of our school.

Who is Ms. Dittmer?

500

When the temperature of a substance increases, this is what happens to the speed and spacing of its particles

What is increase

500

This is the chemical reaction that ALL organisms do to release energy from their food.

(Hint: it is the opposite reaction to photosynthesis)

What is cellular respiration?

500

This natural disaster is caused by an earthquake happening under the water.

What is a Tsunami?

500

This is the process by which rock is broken down into sediments

What is weathering?

500

This is the smallest planet in our solar system

What is Mercury?

500

Mr. K has lived in these three other states besides Missouri. (Name at least one to get the points!)

What are Minnesota, Vermont, and California

600

The smallest unit of matter

What is an atom

600

Cellular respiration takes place in this organelle, often called the "powerhouse" of the cell

What is the mitochondria?
600

This is the type of plate boundary that is most likely to produce large earthquakes because plates are sliding past each other and getting stuck.

What is a transform boundary?

600

This is the process of moving sediments by wind, water, ice, or other means.

What is erosion?

600

This is the fifth planet from the sun.

What is Jupiter?

600

You must break it in order to use it...

What is an egg or glowstick?

700

The particles that make up atoms

What are protons, neutrons, and electrons?

700

Photosynthesis takes place in this large green organelle which contains the pigment chlorophyll.

What is the chloroplast?

700

These super hot areas of magma can burn holes in the center of plates and cause chains of volcanoes over time, such as the Hawaiian Islands.

What are hot spots?

700
The crystals in an igenous rock will be this when the rate of cooling is slower

What is larger?

700

This is one of the characteristics of life.

What are growth and development, reproduction, made of cells, homeostasis, complex chemistry, and response to environment?

700

This detective was portrayed by Mariska Hargitay on Law and Order: Special Victims Unit

Who is Detective Olivia Benson?
