Oxygen

100

The left lung has a "notch" and is a bit smaller than the right lung to allow room for this major organ

Heart

100

Zoology concerns itself with this major Kingdom of life, which makes up 76% of all known species on Earth. But perhaps we are biased so the numbers may change as we continue to study...

Animals

(Kingdom Animalia)

100

The three parts of the Biosphere include:

(Double points if you can describe a major part of each or where it is found)

*Hydrosphere

*Atmosphere

*Lithosphere

100

Besides the parts of the respiratory tract that we've studied, this part inside of our oral cavity is an important part of human language - it even appears in words such as: Linguistic or Bilingual

The tongue

100

100

FREE POINTS!

100

(Double points: Name one of its nicknames)

New York City

(The Big Apple, Gotham City, The City that Never Sleeps)

For our Halloween Cauldron Surprise, we'll be cooking up a new batch of witch's brew that uses dry ice for effects, which is really just the solid form of this waste product that we exhale

Carbon dioxide

200

Geography primarily concerns itself with this question word

Where?

200

FREE POINTS!

200

Name one of two parts of the outermost Respiratory System

(Where does the Respiratory System meet the outside world?)

Nose or Mouth

200

This major branch of animals actually only has 6,400 species alive today, and rodents make up 40% of them. The main thing they have in common is that mothers produce milk for their offspring

Mammals

200

97% of the world's water is stored in the reservoirs we know as these

The oceans

200

Some health scientists believe that there are many benefits of doing this which is a part of the Respiratory System on a regular basis, including the following:

1. Works the lungs, tones up the intercostals and diaphragm. / 2. Improves sleep / 3. Benefits cardio function by improving aerobic capacity / 4. Relaxes overall muscle tension / 5. Improves posture. / 6. Opens up sinuses and respiratory tubes / 7. With training, it could help decrease snoring / 8. Releases endorphins / 9. Boosts immune system

Singing

200

Canis familiaris - name the animal!

Dog

200

The Metric System is designed to organize units of measurement around this number

200

Washington, DC

(Capitol Building)

300

Whether you're having a cold, sore throat or allergies irritating your upper respiratory tract and making you cough, swallowing this when you're sick is proven to help better than many medicines

Honey

300

Knowledge in the Earth Sciences may help us better understand other examples of these outside of our Solar System

Planets

300

55 Cancri "E" is the "diamond" planet that is found in the direction of our constellation Cancer (hence the name, Cancri). All planets outside of our own Solar System are considered these

(+300: Name a planet that would NOT be considered this)

Exoplanets

300

What is missing? This part of the skeletal system over top of the heart and lungs helps protect it and its muscles support breathing

The rib cage

300

This class of Animals is known in Latin as "Aves" and are actually the only living examples of dinosaurs left on Earth. They tend to be pretty social, and are often heard "calling" out for mating purposes

Birds

300

The two main Ecological Cycles that we looked at this week are:

(Double points: name something that they have in common.)

*The Water Cycle

*The Carbon Cycle

300

The fact that we have a respiratory tract that has vocal folds (AKA vocal chords) gives humans this unique ability

Speech / Language / Voice

(answer could be any of these)

300

FREE POINTS!

300

The Metric System is based on the fact that we have a certain amount of this body part used for counting

fingers

300

Los Angeles (Hollywood)

400

Breathing seems to be easiest for most people when this is kept between 30 and 60%

Humidity

400

Rock 'n' roll! People in this major branch of science may study volcanoes, earthquakes, glaciers, rock layers, or even fossil fuels or precious gems - basically, anything to do with the structure of the Earth

Geology

400

FREE POINTS!

400

The lungs are divided up into these sections - just don't over"L"ook the fact that the right lung has one more than the left one!

Lobes

400

These sea creatures are among the simplest of animal species and lack true tissues and organs - until the 1950s (when plastics became common), they were used for cleaning and bathing

Sponges

400

The sum total of all water on Earth and in its atmosphere is known as this

Hydrosphere

400

The fact that our larynx helps protect us from choking by blocking our esophagus is the reason why we should try never doing these two things together at the same time!

Eating and talking

(make sure you chew and swallow completely before you say something!)

400

Tadarida brasiliensis is a species of this type of animal - the name suggests that it's from Brazil, but it's also found in Mexico and hangs out a lot under Austin bridges

Bats

400

This is the basic unit of volume in the Metric System, and 1 of these of plain water equals 1 kg in mass

(Double points if you can provide the British/French spelling)

Liter

(Litre)

400

NASA (where the Johnson Space Center is located)

Houston

500

Breathe easier knowing it's in the air - the essential oil of this plant that originally comes from Australia, when added to steam vapor, seems to help breathing whether you have a stuffy nose or nasal allergies

Eucalyptus

Maps deal "L"arge"L"y with these two coordinates that indicate where something is on the Earth - name one of the two

(Double points if you can name both)

Latitude and Longitude

The planet 30 Ari Bb is a gas giant that orbits around a solar system with not 1, not 2, not 3, but 4 Suns! It hangs out in our constellation Ares and lives in a system with two sets of this type of stars that are constantly rotating around each other

Binary stars

(Double points if you can name both!)

Trachea and Bronchus

This animal, along with the octopus and cuttlefish species, form the class Cephalopoda - they can change color (camouflage) as needed, have 3 hearts, and produce ink to distract predators

Squid

500

The rocky parts of the Earth, including the rocks, stones, sand and soil contained in the crust and mantle are all called this main part of the Biosphere

Lithosphere

This soft tissue (usually referred to in the plural) vibrates or oscillates similar to the string of a guitar when plucked - it's what gives us a voice!

Vocal folds

(sometimes known as vocal chords)

500

Oceanography
