100

This is the diameter of a circle with a radius of 5.

What is 10?

100

These angles add up to 90o.

What are complementary angles?

100

This is an educated guess based on prior knowledge and/or observation. 

What is a hypothesis? 

100

Plants release this element as waste.

What is Oxygen?

200

This is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. 

What is 

pi ?

200

These are two non-adjacent angles formed by intersecting lines. In this case <1 and <3, for example.

What are vertical angles?

200

In order to be a valid hypothesis, it must be this.

What is testable?

200

This cell part is responsible for capturing solar energy for a plant?

What is chloroplast?

300

This is a commonly used numerical approximation for 

pi.

What is 3.14?

300

These congruent angles on parallel lines made by a shared transversal, map on to one another. 

What are corresponding angles?

300

When testing a hypothesis, a scientist tries to ______ the hypothesis. 

What is disprove?

300

Photosynthesis requires these two molecules.

What are Cardon Dioxide and Water?

400

A pizza is advertised as containing 250 square inches of pizza.

This is roughly the diameter. 

What is about 18 inches? 

Since the area of a circle (pizza) is 

pir^2

Divide 250 by 3 (pi-ish), which is a little more than 80, let's say 81. which leaves you with radius squared to solve. The square root of 81 is 9 so radius is 9. So diameter, is roughly - 18.

400

The Triangle Sum Theorem says this. 

What is, "All interior angles of a triangle add up to 180o"?

400

This is the measure of the extent to which two variables are related.

What is correlation?

400

The overall purpose of the light-dependent reactions is to convert light energy into this.

What is chemical energy?

500

This is the shaded region's area. 


What is  ≈ 69.53 square meters?

Side length is 18. Therefore radius, which must start at the center is 9. 

Square area = 18 x 18 =  324

Circle area = 

pi (9)^2

Square area minus circle area = shaded area... 324 – 81π 69.53 square meters.

500

This is the measure of the red angle. 


What is 50o?

500

This can represent a  complex system. We use these because they can be manipulated more easily than the system.

What are models?

500

Plants get water from these.

What are roots?
