These control your traits. They are found on chromosomes in the nucleus.
What are genes?

An example of assistive technology.
What are ramps, crutches, wheelchairs, strobe fire alarms, eyeglasses, and lots more?

The cause of weather on Earth.
What is the Sun?
200
What is produced in photosynthesis.
What are oxygen and sugar?
200
The smallest amount of a compound that still has the properties of that compound, and the smallest amount of an element that still has the properties of that element.
What is a molecule (smallest amount of a compound), and an atom (smallest amount of an element)?
200
Describe land breezes and sea breezes.
What is: land breeze usually occurs at night when water holds onto heat while land cools off. This causes the air to warm above the water and rise because it is less dense. This is an area of low pressure. The opposite happens on land, forming high pressure. Wind blows from high to low pressure. (the opposite it true for sea breezes).
200
The difference between an encoder and decoder.
What is converts input to digital signal (encode) and converts signal to output (decoder)?
200
Give an example of a symbiotic relationship.
What is a clownfish and sea anemone? (there are plenty of other examples too).
300
The functions of mitochondria, cell wall, and cell membrane.
What are: produces energy from food (mitochondria), gives support (cell wall), and controls what goes in and out of cell (cell membrane)?
300
The three main states (or phases) of matter, in order from highest energy to least energy.
What is gas, liquid, and solid?
300
Name three types of heat transfer, and describe how they transfer heat in, on, or outside of Earth.
What is radiation (how heat energy gets to us from the Sun), convection (how heat energy transfers through our atmosphere and oceans, and through the solid mantle), and conduction (how heat energy transfers through the ground)?
300
Three types of bridges and draw a picture of each.
What is beam, arch, and suspension?
300
An advantage and disadvantage of mass production and custom production.
For custom production, an advantage is that it is specifically made for a customer. A disadvantage is that it is more costly and time-consuming. Mass production is faster and cheaper, but the materials may not be as good as custom.

Four pieces of evidence for evolution
What are Fossils, Anatomy (similar bone structure), Molecular (DNA or RNA), and Embryos?
400
Identify each of the following changes as either chemical or physical: rusting, dissolving, tearing, cooking
What are chemical (rusting), physical (dissolving), physical (tearing), and chemical (cooking)?
400
Four ways that the inner planets are different from the outer planets
What is no rings, no or few moons, small, dense, rocky, faster periods of revolution?
400
List and describe four forces that act on a bridge.
What is tension (pulling), compression (pushing), shearing (sliding), and torsion (twisting)?
400
My favorite thing at Blue Moon.
What is sweet buffalo chicken panini?
500
Name five kingdoms, besides Archea, and give a fact for each.
For elements, what are oxygen, hydrogen, and carbon (anything else found on the periodic table is fine)? For compounds, what are water and carbon dioxide (anything made from more than one element is fine)?
500
Three pieces of evidence for continental drift. Two types of crust and why they are different.
What are similar fossils on each side of ocean, similar rock types and mountains on each side of ocean, matching coastlines, a glacial evidence such as glacial scarring? Oceanic and continental crust: oceanic crust is denser.
500
List the five parts to a universal systems model.
What are goal, input, process, output, and feedback?

How you determine the density of an irregularly shaped object.
What is find mass using a scale and find volume using water displacement in a graduated cylinder? Divide mass by volume to get density.
