Properties of Matter
The three states of matter are...
What is solid, liquid, and gas?
What is light?
The spinning of the Earth on its axis. It takes 24 hours to do this once.
What is rotation?
Landforms, such as deltas, V-shaped valleys, and canyons, are all created by this.
What is water?
Algae is a ________________ because it makes it's own food through photosynthesis.
What is producer?
When the powered dissolves in the water, we know the powder is _____________.
What is soluble?
Energy that is related to temperature (heat).
What is thermal energy?
This is one trip around the sun. The closer the planet the faster the trip. The Earth takes 365 days to do this.
What is revolution?
Coal, oil, and natural gas, which are formed by dead organisms, pressure, and heat.
What is fossil fuels?
Don't forget, they are not alternative energy sources. Diesel, gasoline, and petroleum are also non-renewable.
_______________ relies on eating plants and/or other organisms to get energy.
What is a consumer?
______________ stops the flow of energy.
What are insulators?
What is a mechanical energy?
The _______ provides the energy for the water cycle to keep going and going.
What is the sun?
The breaking down of rocks into sediments, usually from wind, water, and ice.
What is weathering?
________________ break down dead plants and organisms and add nutrients to soil.
What is decomposers?
_____________ allow energy to flow through.
What are conductors?
The bouncing back of light rays off of an object such as a mirror.
What is reflection?
This is the process in which water vapor from the sky cools down and creates clouds.
What is condensation?
The three common forms of erosion that move sediments.
What is water, wind and ice?
These are the types of factors that describe things that were never living. For example, rocks, sand, wind, and water.
What are abiotic factors.
If the plastic ball sits on top of the water we know it is _________ ___________ than the water.
What is less dense?
The bending of light as it moves through an object such as a telescope, glass of water, or prism.
What is refraction?
This part of the water cycle is when water from plants is evaporated due to the Sun's Thermal Energy.
What is Transpiration?
You have to know all three:
Dropping off of sediments:____________
Layers of sediments are buried and squished back together: ____________
Minerals stick the sediments back together:____________
What is deposition, compaction, and cementation?
We use these two words to describe the specific part of an organism and the purpose of that specific part. For example, the hawk has a sharp and pointed beak to help eat smaller animals.
What is structure and function?
