amplitude
As amplitude increases the sound ______
gets louder
Which molecule in our atmosphere absorbs UV light from the sun?
Ozone
What year was the first Kiwanis Club formed?
January 21, 1915
This is regarded as the birth date of Kiwanis. The first clubs were organized to promote the exchange of business among the members.
Who is the KI President for 2019-2020?
Daniel Vigneron
The ability to make things move or change
energy
As amplitude decreases the intensity of light gets _______
dimmer
Which molecule in our atmosphere reflects light.
Sulfuric acid
What year did Kiwanis admit women into club membership?
Since 1987, the organization also accepts women as members.
What evidence do you have to support the following claim, There is something different about the sunlight in Australia.
UV light map
A group of atoms joined together in a particular way
molecule
The type of light is determined by the _________
wavelength
Which molecule in our atmosphere allows UV light to be transmitted and ultimately reach Earth?
Carbon dioxide
Where did the name Kiwanis come from?
The name "Kiwanis" was coined from an American Indian expression, "Nunc Kee-wanis," which means, "We trade." A more thorough check later revealed that a truer meaning is, “We have a good time - we make noise.”

spectrum
As the pitch gets higher the wavelength ______
decreases
Name a two sources that add carbon dioxide to our atmosphere.

Who does Kiwanis partner with in the current global campaign, The Eliminate Project: Kiwanis eliminating maternal/neonatal tetanus?
Their current global partner is UNICEF: the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund which was formed in 1946.
If there was an equal amount of UV light on every part of our planet would you expect there to be different skin tones? Defend your statement.
No, everyone would manufacture the same amount of melanin to protect their genetic material.
a type of invisible light that is beyond violet on the spectrum
ultraviolet
What part of visible light has the greatest wavelength and which part of light has the greatest frequency?
red has longest wavelength's and violet has the greatest frequency.
What would you expect to happen to the skin cancer rate if there is a high concentration of sulfuric acid droplets in our atmosphere? carbon dioxide? Ozone?
Sulfuric acid droplets reflect UV light from getting to Earth, therefore causing a lower rate of skin cancer.
Carbon dioxide allows UV light to travel to Earth relatively undisturbed so the skin rate should go up.
Ozone absorbs UV light, so not much UV radiation would reach the Earth causing a lower skin cancer rate.
