One day it rains, and water collects in a graduated cylinder that has been left outside. The next day, the water is gone. It is the name of the process that occurred.
What is evaporation?
100
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants make this type of food.
What is sugar?
100
Metal wires in power lines are good at transferring electricity because they are this.
What are conductors? Metal wires in power lines are good conductors because heat and electricity travel better through it them than through other materials.

A river carries very fine particles of rock called silt. Where the river flows into the ocean, silt settles onto the ocean floor and builds up over time. This process is named this.
What is deposition? Deposition involves moving dirt and rocks from one place to another.
100
This describes the length of time between the birth and death of an organism.
What is a life span?
200
These are two forms of precipitation.
What are rain and sleet? (hail, snow also acceptable)
200
Plants perform photosynthesis to make their own this.
What is food?
200
It is a closed loop with an energy source that lets electricity pass through it without stopping.
What is a circuit? A circuit is a closed loop with an energy source that allows electricity to pass through without stopping.
200
This is the part of a plant used for reproduction. It produces fruit which contains seeds.
What are flowers?
200
These are a series of changes that animals go through before they reach adulthood.
What are life stages?
300
It is the name of the process where water that falls from the sky as precipitation and joins a river that flows into the ocean. The ocean water evaporates and returns to the sky where it forms a cloud.
What is the water cycle?
300
Plants use four things to create sugar in the process of photosynthesis. Name the four things plant need.
What are sunlight, air, nutrients, and water?
300
A plastic cooler is a good this because it keeps food cold inside and heat from the outside can not travel through the material.
What is an insulator? An insulator is something like rubber, plastic, glass, or wood that blocks heat or electricity from passing through.
300
During this process that sounds like something that causes a cold a new plant begins to grow from a seed.
What is germination?
300
The early life stage of an insact is called this.
What is a larva?
400
This is the water that falls on the land and soaks deep into the eath. It can be used by plants to grow, or by humans to drink and wash.
What is groundwater?
400
Plants are called this because they turn the energy from the sun into their own food.
What are producers?
400
Certain metals have a special property that allows them to stick to magnets.
What is magnetism? Magnetism is the property that allows certain metals to stick to magnets.
400
This is the process by which water vapor turns into water droplets. You may notice it on the windows of a bus.
What is condensation?
400
A caterpillar grows into a butterfly inside of this protective shell.
What is a pupa?
500
This process occurs when wind and water wear away soil and rocks. It may occur in a riverbed. It formed the Grand Canyon.
What is erosion?
500
It is the meaning of the words photo and synthesis.
What are light = photo and synthesis = to make?
500
In order for energy to be transferred an electrical circuit must be this.
What is a closed loop? If the circuit is not a closed loop, electricity cannot flow through it.
500
When baking a cake a baker uses an oven mitt to remove the cake from the oven. This protects the baker's hand because the oven mitt is this.
What is a poor conductor of heat?
500
Food provides both these essential things that allow animals to grow, repair their bodies when they are hurt, and do everything else necessary to stay alive.
What are energy and nutrients?
