Science
The study, understanding, and knowledge of our world.
What is Science?
What is the difference between weather and climate?
Weather refers to short term atmospheric conditions while climate is the weather of a specific region averaged over a long period of time.
What is the largest planet in our Solar System?
Jupiter
What is a Cell? (in Biology terms)
In biology, the smallest unit that can live on its own and that makes up all living organisms and the tissues of the body. A cell has three main parts: the cell membrane, the nucleus, and the cytoplasm.
What are the common states of matter?
Solid, Liquid, Gas
Name 2 ways we use Science in our daily life
Weather prediction, medicine, food, ways we travel, technology, eye glasses
What forms when water vapor cools and condenses on dust particles in the air?
Clouds
What makes up 99.8% of the mass of our Solar System?
The Sun!
Robert Hooke
Which of the following is a chemical change?
Burning Wood
How would your life be different without Science?
There would be no electricity, no weather predictions, less jobs, no medicine, etc.
What are three types of precipitation?
The four main types of precipitation are rain, snow, sleet, and hail.
How many planets in our Solar System? Can you name them?
8!
Is this a prokaryotic cell or eukaryotic cell?
They have a true nucleus, which has more than one chromosome. They are primarily found in multicellular organisms. But some are found in single-celled ones like yeast and algae.
Its DNA can be found inside the nuclear membrane
Eukaryotic Cell
Does sound travel as a transverse wave or a longitudinal wave?
Longitudinal
Name 3 things scientists do:
Research, gather evidence, study, experiment, collaborate, observe, test, solve problems.
What happens to warm air in the atmosphere? Does it rise or fall?
Hot air rises. As air rises, air pressure at the surface is lowered. Rising air expands and cools, and as it cools, drops back down.
How long does it take light from the Sun to reach Earth?
The Sun is 93 million miles away, so sunlight takes 8 and 1/3 minutes to get to us. Not much changes about the Sun in so short a time, but it still means that when you look at the Sun, you see it as it was 8 minutes ago.
Is this Prokaryote or Eukaryote?
Instead of a nucleus, they can have a nucleoid, which only has one chromosome.
Its DNA is in the cytoplasm or nucleoid
Prokaryote
Is light a longitudinal wave or a transverse wave?
Transverse
Name the three different types of Science.
Physical Science, Earth/Space Science, Life Science
(Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Astronomy, etc)
What is humidity?
A measure of how much water vapor is in the air
Describe the positions of the Earth, Moon, and Sun during a Solar Eclipse.
Exactly how they align determines what kind of eclipse we see. A solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, blocking at least some of the Sun and casting a shadow on Earth. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, casting its shadow on Earth.
Name 2 things that make up a cell:
Cell membrane, nucleus, cytoplasm, ribosomes, golgi aparatus, etc
Does sound need a medium to travel through? Does light?
Sound requires a material medium for its propagation while light does not require any material medium for its propagation.
