Speak for the Trees (and all with no speeches)
This vocab word means to cut down trees for the purpose to make human resources (paper, farming, etc.).
What is deforestation?
This is the direction of heat transfer.
What is hot to cold?
This energy is found in batteries.
What is chemical energy?
Also found in food and fuel.
True or False:
Geologist were able to take notes of Earth's history in real time starting in the Mesozoic Era.
What is false?
The Mesozoic Era was the age of the mammals that included the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous Periods. There were no humans to take notes.
Scientist had to gather information indirectly instead.
This is a simple definition for dependent/outcome variable.
What is the variable that is measured as a result?
This is when cities are built where forest used to be.
What is urbanization?
This heat transfer happens when two materials touch.
What is conduction?
This is the energy caused by vibrations.
What is sound energy?
What layer of earth is the hottest?
What is the inner core?
The variables that can not change in an experiment.
What are constants?
True or False:
Preserving a habitat is a form of human impact.
What is true?
Human impact can be positive or negative. If humans are protecting/preserving a habitat, that is also their impact.
What is the thermal energy of the soda transfers to the ice through conduction?
This is the sum of potential and kinetic energy when referencing a the motion of a swing on a swing set.
What is the total mechanical energy?
This is a piece of evidence used to show that the continents on Earth were once connected as one large piece of land.
Multiple answers could be true, just say one.
What is the continents would fit together like puzzle pieces?
What is there is matching rock formations on the coast lines? (law of superposition)
What is there is matching fossils of species across continent where they would not normally live?
What is there is matching weathering events on land separated by oceans?
Mallory wants to know what color of lights make her fall asleep fastest in her room.
Which variable would be the independent?
What is the color of lights?
This is a way you can help the environment.
Answers vary
Examples: recycle, reforestation, etc.
Describe the motion and position of molecules in a solid.
What is moving very slow and close together?
What science principal describes that energy is never created nor destroyed, only transformed or transferred between materials?
What is the law of conservation of energy?
This is how scientist explain finding sea shells at the top of current mountains.
What is plate tectonics converged the rock that was once under water causing the fossils to be in the top of the mountain?
Miss Ma'am ran an experiment where she played different songs to pea plants to see if the song would effect the color the pea plant turned.
She gave plant #1 House Tour by Sabrina Carpenter.
She gave plant #2 Hot to Cold by that one Youtuber.
She gave plant #3 Daises by Justin Bieber.
She kept all other variables the same and ran multiple trials for each. The results showed that House Tour caused the pea plant to grow a cute little pink color while the others turned yellow.
What was Miss Ma'am's experiment missing?
What is a control group?
The control group would receive no song.
This is a result of human impact but also occurs naturally.
What is erosion?
1. Describe the motion of MOLECULES in a thermometer when thermal energy is added or removed.
2. What heat transfer method does this describe?
What is the molecules expand and speed up causing the liquid to rise when thermal energy is added and the molecules contract and slow down causing the liquid to fall down when thermal energy is removed?
What is convection?
Describe an event that uses 4 different energy transformations in detail.
Answers vary.
Example:
Charging a phone
Electrical (plug), light (screen on), sound (phone noise), thermal (phone heating)
This is how scientist use radiometric dating to find the absolute age of rocks.
What is they find the amount of radioactive element left in the rock?
This is the group an experiment is being applied to whether they receive the treatment or not.
What is the sample?
