Ability to cause motion or create change 

What is Energy?

100

 This is what a circuit must be for electricity to flow.

What is a closed circuit?

100

These animals have a backbone or spine.

What are vertebrates?

100

This plant structure absorbs water and nutrients like the human digestive system.

What are roots?

100

This is a test scientists do to answer a question or solve a problem.

What is an experiment?

200

Mechanical energy uses potential energy and what else

what is Kinetic energy?

200

 This device opens and closes a circuit to control the flow of electricity.

What is a switch?

200

This is the largest group of invertebrates and includes insects, spiders, and crabs.

What are arthropods?

200

 This plant structure moves water through the plant similar to how blood vessels move blood.

What is the stem?

200

 This is an educated guess based on observations and prior knowledge.

What is a hypothesis?

300

sound energy is created how

What is produced by a vibrating object?

300

This part of a circuit provides the energy needed for electricity to flow.

 What is a battery?

300

Fish, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and mammals are all types of these animals.

What are vertebrate groups?

300

 These plant parts make food using sunlight, similar to how humans get energy from food.

What are leaves?

300

This variable stays the same during an experiment to keep it fair.

What are controlled variables (constants)?

400

produced when on object rubs against another

What is thermal energy?

400

When a circuit is broken or incomplete, electricity cannot flow.

what is an open circuit?

400

 This group of vertebrates has hair or fur and feeds milk to their young.

What are mammals?

400

 This human body system works like plant stems to move materials throughout the organism.

What is the circulatory system?

400

 If two scientists test the same question and get similar results, this makes their findings more

What is reliable (or valid)?

500
Light energy produces what other type of energy

what is heat energy?

500

These materials allow electricity to flow easily through them.

 What are conductors?

500

These animals do NOT have a backbone.

What are invertebrates?

500

Both plants and humans have systems that transport materials needed for survival.

What is movement of water, nutrients, or oxygen (transport systems)?

500

Randall put earthworms into a box. He observed them moving toward the shade and away from the bright light. Based on this observation

What is the earthworms move away from the light?
