This scientist insisted on experiments. He was later locked up for mocking the church.
Who is Galileo Galilei?
100
The number of variables you want to change in an experiment is this.
What is one?
100
The distance traveled per unit time.
What is speed?
100
This type of electricity sits on surfaces and doesn't move.
What is Static Electricity?
100
The kilogram is a measure of this.
What is mass?
200
This scientist moved our knowledge forward so much that the Laws of Motion are named after him.
Who is Isaac Newton?
200
In an experiment, this is your prediction of what will happen.
What is the Hypothesis?
200
The speed of an object in a specific direction.
What is its Velocity?
200
This effect is named after the Greek word for "rubbing" things together.
What is the Tribo-electric effect?
200
A form of Newton's 2nd law, this equations tells us the weight of an object.
What is Weight = mass x gravity ? W = mg
300
The father of modern astronomy, he was the first to point a telescope at the night sky.
Who is Galileo Galilei?
300
In an experiment, this is the variable that your are testing.
What is the Independent Variable?
300
This happens when an unbalanced outside force acts on an object.
What is acceleration?
300
In the case of electric shock, this is what kills you.
What is the Amps? (or current)
300
This prevents an object from moving when a force is applied.
What is Static Friction?
400
He "revolutionized" the world by pointing out that the Heliocentric model of the solar system made more sense.
Who is Nicolaus Copernicus?
400
In an experiment, this is the variable that you measure.
What is the Dependent Variable?
400
An moving object will travel for this time if nothing stops it.
What is forever? (infinity, all time, etc.)
400
When a magnet (and magnetic field) moves near a wire, this happens to the electrons in the wire.
What is they get pushed? (or move)
400
The force that gravity puts on a mass.
What is the Weight?
500
This mathematician showed that the planets have elliptical orbits.
Who is Johannes Kepler?
500
An investigation should always start with this.
What is a Question?
500
When your car hits a wall, why is it better be in a big car?
What is smaller force over a bigger time? (or more distance to slow down)
500
This is known as the "electric potential", or the electric force.
What is Voltage? (or volts)
500
According to Newton's third law, " If you _________ on it, it ____________ on you!"
What are "Push" and "Pushes"?
