Insulators & Conductors
Styrofoam
What is an Insulator?
A pot of boiling water has this type of energy transfer.
What is convection?
Organisms that eat other organisms are called this.
What are consumers?
Draw an example of a circuit with 2 light bulbs, a switch, and a battery. Label the positive and negative charges AND the flow of energy.
*See drawings*
A component of soil that is made of decayed living material.
Iron
What is a conductor?
Heating a pot over a campfire has this kind of energy transfer between the fire and the pot.
What is Radiation?
Organisms that make their own food are called this.
What is a producer?
A ball that is in the middle of rolling down a ramp has this kind of energy.
What is kinetic energy?
What are the components (parts) of soil?
Should include: rocks (many sizes), air, water, humus
Rock sizes: pebble, gravel, sand, silt, clay
Glass
What is an insulator?
The energy transfer that makes a hot air balloon fly.
What is convection?
Name the 3 types of consumers and what they eat. BONUS-- Say which one humans are.
What are herbivores (plants only), carnivores (meat only- AKA other animals), and omnivores (eat plants and animals). Humans- omnivores
How do you make an electromagnet stronger?
Give examples of landforms formed by weathering and erosions.
What are arches, buttes, mesas, gorges, valleys, canyons, meanders, hoodoos, exfoliation dome, and spheroidal rocks?
Water
What is a conductor?
Energy transfer when your fingers touch a hot metal spoon.
What is conduction?
List the 4 main things organisms need to live.
What are water, food, shelter, and air?
A rock on the edge of a cliff about to fall, but NOT falling yet, has this kind of energy.
What is potential energy?
A rock breaks off of a cliff after thousands of years of being rained on. Then, it is washed away down a mountain, into a river, and eventually stops at a delta (mouth of a river). List the processes that took place (3 processes).
What is weathering, erosion, deposition?
When heat or electricity is directly transmitted through a substance when there is a difference of temperature or of electrical energy.
What is conduction?
Give an example of each type of energy transfer (Reminder: there are 3 types!)
*Need an example of conduction, convection, and radiation
A community of organisms interacting with its non-living environment is called this.
What is waves?
These are the two types of weathering. Give an example to go along with each.
What are physical and chemical weathering? *Examples will vary*
