What are the 3 types of planets we have in our solar system?
Rocky, Gas Giants, Ice
What device do scientists use to explore the surface of a planet and name 1 of jobs can it do
Rovers! Take pictures, map, sample gathering etc.
What scale do scientists use to tell how acidic or basic something is?
PH scale
What is the first Law of Motion?
Inertia! An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion UNLESS acted upon by an outside force

line, shape, color, value, and texture
temperature, topography, height, size, material, depth
What are the 4 steps in observing something new in space?

What are the 4 ways to tell a chemical reaction is happening?
Color change, temperature change, gas production (bubbles), precipitate (2 or more liquids forming a solid)
What is the 2nd Law of Motion?
F=MxA Force equals Mass times Acceleration
Name all of the planets in our Solar System
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune! Pluto is a dwarf planet
What body in space is predicted to have life on it besides Earth?
Europa! Europa is one of Jupiter's moons that has miles of ice covering the surface but has a liquid core due to hydrothermal vents!
What factors effect how you taste?
Colors, smells, experiences, genetics, etc.
Which Law is used to launch rockets into space and what is it?
3rd Law of Motion, For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
What is Bernoulli's Principle?
a principle in fluid dynamics that explains how an in increase in speed of a fluid (such as water or even air) leads to a decrease in pressure. Put more simply, it explains how objects move in the air and in a liquid.
