Force.

What is a push or pull on an object?

100

Energy can neither be created nor destroyed; it can only be transferred or transformed.

What is the Law of Conservation of Energy?

100

Matter

What is the stuff that all objects and substances in the universe are made of?

100

The electromagnetic wave with the least energy, lowest frequency, and longest wavelength.

What are radio waves?

100

Divide mass by volume.

What is the calculation for density?

200

The unit used to measure force.

What is Newtons?

200

Kinetic Energy

What is the energy an object has because it is moving?

200

It is NOT made of Matter.

What is Energy?

200

Gamma rays.

What are the electromagnetic waves with the most energy, highest frequency, and shortest wavelength?

200

Independent variable.

What is the variable you control, found on the horizontal axis of a graph?
300

Mass and Distance.

What are the two factors that affect the force of gravity?

300

When an objects particles and atoms are in motion.

What is thermal energy?

300

These are physical properties of matter.

What are density, ductility, malleability, boiling point, melting point, electrical conductivity, and solubility?

300

The four properties of light.

What are: "light spreads out in all directions from its source, light travels in straight lines, light travels at 299,792 km/s, and light can travel in a vacuum?"

300

The effect measured during an experiment, found on the vertical axis of a graph.

What is a dependent variable?

400

The amount of "stuff" in an object, which does not depend on the object's location, versus a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object.

What is the difference between mass and weight?

400

A measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance.

What is temperature?

400

These are chemical properties of matter.

What are flammability, rusting, and reactivity to acid?

400

Light bends as it travels from medium to another.

What is refraction?

400
Water displacement

What is the method for measuring the volume of irregularly shaped solid objects?

500

A positive number in Newtons that shows an object is moving.

What is unbalanced force?

500

Convection.

What is the transfer of heat in a fluid through currents rising and falling?

500

In one change, matter's shape and size are altered. In the other, a new substance is created.

What are the differences between physical and chemical changes in matter?

500

These waves require a medium in order to travel, and move fastest through solids.

What are sound waves?

500

These are based on ideas that have been tested and shown to be true over time and are used to explain nature.

What are scientific theories and laws?
