Sun Earth and moon
The different shapes of the moon we see from Earth as it orbits around the planet, caused by the changing angle of sunlight reflecting off its surface.
Moon Phases
number of planets in the solar system.
8
All matter is made up of these.
molecules
The three states of Matter.
Solid, Liquid, Gas
The energy that an object has due to the movement of its molecules.
Thermal Energy
The moon phase when the moon is between the sun and Earth.
New Moon
The rocky planets are also called this.
inner planets
This is the molecule for water.
H2O
Molecules move fastest in this state.
Gas
This helps prevent the transfer of Thermal energy.
Insulator.
The moon phase when the earth is between the sun and the moon.
Full moon
The outer planets are also called this.
Gas giants
True or false. All molecules have energy.
True
Molecules are most dense in this state.
Solid
This helps the transfer of thermal energy.
Conductor
when the Earth is positioned between the Sun and the Moon, casting Earth's shadow on the Moon
Lunar eclipse
Scientists use this unit to measure distances in the solar system.
What is an Astronomical Unit (AU)
Molecules are made of this.
Atoms
This drives the changes in the states of matter.
Heat
This is why a winter coat makes a good insulator.
It prevents the transfer of thermal energy.
When the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, casting the Moon's shadow on Earth.
Solar Eclipse
The two forces that make objects orbit the sun.
Gravity and Inertia
The coolest Science teacher
Mr. Wright
A measurement of how much stuff (mass) is packed into a given space (volume)
Density
The three types of thermal energy transfer.
Radiation, convection, conduction
