What cannot be created or destroyed but can be transferred?

What is energy?

100

Temperature in Canada is measured in degrees ____________.

What is celsius?

100

Name an example of a structure.

What is table, you, house, Eiffel Tower, etc.?

100

Name the 3 parts of the earth. (Chemical composition)

What is crust, mantle, core?

100

Living organisms in an ecosystem are called abiotic.  True or false.

What is false?  They are called biotic.

200

What are heterogeneous mixtures?

What are mixtures where you can see the different parts?

200

Is the statement true or false?  

Heat and temperature is the same thing. 

What is false?

Heat is the transfer of energy from one place to another due to a difference in temperature.

Temperature is a measurement of how fast particles move.

200

What is an object's centre of gravity?

What is the place where an object is equally balanced on all sides?

200

What are the 5 layers of the earth?  (Physical properties)

What are lithosphere, asthenosphere, mesosphere, outer core, inner core?

200

Name 3 abiotic factors in an ecosystem.

What are air, wind, sunlight, temperature, water, etc.?
300

Mixtures that look the same throughout are called homogeneous mixtures or ______________.

What are solutions?

300

Name the three ways that heat transfers between objects.

What are convection, conduction, radiation?
300

Name the 3 kinds of structures.

What is shell, frame, and solid?

300

Name the 3 types of boundaries and briefly explain them.

What is:

1. Divergent boundaries: plates pull apart.

2. Convergent boundaries: plates push together.

3. Transform boundaries: plates grind past each other.

300

A forest fire is an example of a primary or secondary succession?

What is a secondary ecosystem?

400

Name the difference between a pure substance and a mixture.

What is pure substances are made of one type of element or compound and mixtures are made of 2 or more that are not chemically combined?

400

Name 2 places where convection currents happen.

What is in the sun and what is in the asthenosphere of the earth?

400

Name a difference between structural fatigue and structural failure.

What is structural failure means the object breaks apart but structural fatigue means the object is damaged?

400

Explain the theory of plate tectonics.  (FULLY)

(Theory and explanation as to why it happens)

What is that the earth is divided into continents and oceans that are on hard rock called plates. The plates are moving because they are riding on the asthenosphere which is a semi-liquid layer?

400

What is a producer? And what process does it use to make energy?

What is something that uses sunlight to produce its own food?  What is photosynthesis?

500

Name 4 out of the 5 parts to the particle theory.

What is:

1. All matter is made of tiny particles.

2.  Particles are always moving.  Particles move faster when heater and slower when cooled.

3.  Particles are never touching, they always have spaces between them.

4. Pure substances are made of 1 type of element/compound and mixtures are made of 2 or more.

5. Particles are attracted to one another.

500

Explain how convection heat happens using the particle theory.

What is a heater heat up the particles of air closest to it. The particles move faster and spread out making it lighter. The lighter air moves away from the heat where it is cooled. The particles move slower and become closer. The air is heavier and sinks. Then it moves back closer to the heater again.

What are 3 things that engineers do to keep skyscrapers from failing?

What is they use dampers, they make strong foundations with deep pillars, they change the shape of the building to confuse the wind, they take in the wind and convert it to energy for the building?

500
Name the 3 types of rocks and how each are formed.

What is:

1. Sedimentary: through weathering and erosion, sedimentation

2. Metamorphic: heat and pressure

3. Igneous: melting then cooling and hardening

- producer

- primary consumer

-secondary consumer

- scavenger

- decomposer

What is grass, cow, me, coyotes, fungi?
