This upward force pushes up on an airplane's wings to keep it in the air.
What is lift!
This simple machine is a flat, slanted surface used to roll heavy items up.
What is a ramp?
This is the freezing point of water in degrees Fahrenheit.
What is 32 degrees?
This powerful vehicle is used to launch satellites and astronauts into space.
What is a rocket?
This state of matter keeps its own shape, like an ice cube or a spoon.
What is a solid?
This downward force pulls an airplane (and everything else) toward the ground.
What is gravity or weight?
This simple machine uses a wheel with a groove and a rope to lift heavy objects straight up.
What is a pulley?
This gas is produced by plants during photosynthesis and is inhaled by humans to breathe.
What is oxygen?
This is the empty area of space where there is no air and no gravity.
What is a vacuum or open space?
This happens to an ice cube when it absorbs heat and turns into a liquid.
What is melting?
This force slows down a moving plane and is caused by air rubbing against the vehicle.
What is drag or air resistance!
This part of a desktop computer displays images and text, functioning like a TV screen.
What is a screen or monitor?
This form of energy flows through wires to power your phone, lights, and appliances.
What is electricity?
This force must be overcome by a rocket’s engines to leave the Earth's surface.

What is air foil or wing shape?
This basic building block of all matter is made of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
What is an atom?
This green pigment gives plants their color and helps them absorb sunlight for energy.
What is Chlorophyll?
This physical law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction, explaining how rockets move.
What is Newton's third law of motion?
This term describes a change that creates a brand-new substance, like burning wood or rusting iron.
