What is Crest?
100
The smallest unit of a chemical element that can still retain the properties of that element.
What is Atom?
100
A form of energy resulting from the temperature difference between a system and its surroundings.
What is Heat?
100
One of the fundamental states of matter with a definite volume but no definite shape.
What is Liquid?
100
A substance made up of a combination of two or more elements held together by chemical bonds that cannot be separated by physical means.
What is Variable?
200
In any periodic function (e.g., a wave) the maximum absolute variation of the function.
What is Amplitude?
200
A substance that cannot be reduced to a simpler substance by chemical means.
What is Element?
200
A quantity that describes the capacity to do work; a source of usable power.
What is Energy
200
Having a definite shape and a definite volume; one of the fundamental states of matter.
What is Solid?
200
The factor that is changed in an experiment in order to study changes in the dependent variable.
What is Independent Variable?
300
The observed effect of the force of gravitation.
What is Gravity?
300
A subatomic particle having a positive charge and which is found in the nucleus of an atom.
What is Proton?
300
Emission of energy in the form of rays or waves.
What is Radiation?

One of the fundamental states of matter in which molecules do not have fixed volume or shape.
What is Gas?
300
Factor being measured or observed in an experiment.
What is Dependent Variable?
400

What is Acceleration?
500
A subatomic particle having zero charge, found in the nucleus of an atom.
What is Neutron?
500

What is Conservation of Energy?
500
A substance made up of a combination of two or more elements held together by chemical bonds that cannot be separated by physical means.
What is Compound?
500
