This property of an object does not allow light to pass through it.

Thermal energy given to the atoms in the bottle on the stove caused the air to do this, blowing up the balloon.
What is expand (NOT RISE!)
100
So pushy! So pully! That's all this is really good for.
What is Force
200
The transfer of thermal energy, and a gangster movie from the 90's.
What is Heat?
200
A single wave/particle of light
What is a photon?
200
A System in motion, like falling with style.
What is an unbalanced system?
200
The basketball gave this kind of energy to the ping-pong ball when you dropped the smaller just above the larger.
What is Kinetic energy?
200
If something has a short wavelength it must also have a high ________.
What is frequency?
300
The way energy travels through a medium and a common fan celebration during a sporting event.
What is a propagating wave?
300
A figure showing light in all its wavelengths and the different names and properties we give to those wavelengths
What is the Electromagnetic Spectrum?
300
An accelerating force
What is gravity?
300
Banging the coffee can to shake the salt crystals involved what kind of energy passing through the air?
What is auditory energy?
300
We can measure acceleration in "feet per second per second" but if we take away one of those "per second"s, we end up with this plain old property of motion.
What is Speed?
400
Energy cannot be created or destroyed
What is the Law of Conservation?
400
Light being absorbed by matter and sent back out in the same direction it came from, or something vampires are incapable of.
What is reflection?
400
Every action has an equal and opposite reaction
What is Newton's 3rd Law of Motion?
400
This was one important (and legal!) idea that no team thought of during our ramp competition and it would have certainly given that team a victory.
What was: increase the mass of the ball?
400
A fire engine smashing head-on into a smart car isn't going to lose much of this property of motion because the fire engine has so much more mass.
What is inertia?
500
A single unit of Force
What is a Joule
500
Faster Than Light
What is nothing?

What is the force of gravity on Earth?
500
This is the type of energy used by our sun which gives energy to our entire solar system
What is nuclear energy?
500
Terminal Velocity is the maximum speed a object will fall. For humans, this is about 122 mph. We have Newton's 3rd Law and this to thank for pushing back up against us as we freefall.
