the difference between conduction and convection?
conduction is an energy transfer of heat through direct contact. convection is an energy transfer of heat through movement. *examples of each are also permitted*

it is a study of how scientists classify organisms
The difference between Endothermic and Ectothermic
ectothermic/cold-blooded - body temperatures are close to their environment.
endothermic/ warm-blooded - body temperature is constant regardless of environment.
How do simple electric motors work? We are talking about the battery, coils, and nails.
The current from the energy source flows through a coil and through a nail. The current from the battery creates a magnetic field
