Life
To be living, something must show movement.
(True or false)
What is false?
The system that mainly brings oxygen into the body and eliminates CO2.
What is the respiratory system?
Older rocks are usually found here.
What is deeper in the Earth?
Mirrors demonstrate this behavior of light.
What is reflection?
Moon phases are caused by the Earth blocking light from reaching the Moon.
What is false?
Ahhhh!
The outer layer of an animal cell.
What is the cell membrane?
The main body organ is damaged by smoking and vaping.
What are the lungs?
(Although lungs are the main organ damaged, many other organs are also damaged over time, including blood vessels, heart, and others)
Our closest non-human living relatives.
What are chimpanzees?
Ocean waves move ____________.
What is energy?
Waves do NOT carry matter.
This creates or causes the shadow that we see on Earth as the "dark" part of Moon phases.
What is the Moon's shadow on itself?
(The illuminated side of the Moon is blocking light from reaching the side facing away from the Sun)
The part of the cell that makes energy available that the cell can use.
What is the mitochondrion?
This organ filters many chemical wastes from our blood and creates urine.
What is the kidney?
Humans are not descended from apes. (True or false)
What is true?
We share a common primate ancestor with apes, but we are NOT directly related to modern apes.
We are more like distant cousins, but direct descendants of ANY modern-day primates.
This causes different colors of light.
What is different wavelengths (or frequencies)?
When solar eclipses occur, it is during this moon phase.
What is New Moon?
The Moon comes between Earth and Sun, so it must be New Moon
Earth --- Moon --- Sun
All life needs its suitable _____________.
What is habitat (or environment)?
The most important system in the human body
What is "there is no one most important" because they all work together so we live?
ALL systems must be functioning well for us to live.
The weird toothpick going through our Rock Sandwich from the bottom is an example of this principle.
What is the Principle of Cross-cutting Relationships?
Name something that travels by waves, other than light.
What is sound (or heat/thermal, mechanical energy, earthquake energy, x-rays, radio/cell phone signals, ...)?
This is caused by Earth blocking light from illuminating the Moon.
What is a lunar eclipse? This happens only occasionally when the Sun, Moon and Earth are perfectly aligned in a straight line (or, more correctly, in the same plane).
The name of the energy that is usable by all cell structures.
What is ATP? (or adenosine triphosphate)
Name the millions of small structures in the digestive system that are the place where nutrients pass into our blood.
What are villi?
These are the very small bumps that line the inner surface of the small intestines. Each small villi has capillaries inside it where blood picks up the nutrients from our digested food.
This principle means "older fossils and rocks are found deeper in the Earth, unless a disturbance has changed them."
What is the Principle of Superposition?
Higher amplitude light waves cause this.
What is brighter light?
This telescope orbits the Earth and is an important tool in discovering exoplanets and other very distant objects.
What is the Hubble Space Telescope?
It is locate about 340 miles above Earth's surface, beyond most of our atmosphere. It orbits the Earth every 95 minutes!
