The periodic table is arranged in increasing _______ number

Atomic

100

Biologist who came up with natural selection (environmental factors acting on a population)

Charles Darwin

100

What is a light year?

The distance light travels in a year (light year is a distance not a measurement of time)

100

The other 2 cycles studied apart from the water cycle

Carbon and nitrogen

100

How far something is in a straight line

Displacement

200

What are the three subatomic particles in an atom?

Proton, neutron and electron

200

Breeding particular organisms with desirable characteristics to pass on to the next generation

Artificial selection/ selective breeding

200

Type of nuclear reaction that produces energy in stars

Nuclear fusion

200

Names of the 3 spheres in the biosphere

Lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere

200

Any of Newton's 3 laws

1. An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by a force/ a object in motion will continue to move at the same speed and direction unless acted upon by a force.

2. F=ma (Force is equal to the change in momentum per change in time/ for a constant mass, force = mass x acceleration).

3. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction force.

300

Metal that is liquid at room temperature

Mercury Hg

300

In related species, characteristics that have the same basic structure e.g. human hand, whale flipper and bat wings (pentadactyl limb)

Homologous structures

300
Type of star produced by the collapse of a start the size of the Sun

White dwarf

300

Equation of photosynthesis

Carbon dioxide + Water ---> Glucose + Oxygen

300

Energy may be transferred from one object to another, but is never created or destroyed

Law of conservation of energy

400

Name for the last group (most right column) (not accepting group 8/18)

Noble/inert gases

400

The species AND location that Darwin observed to propose evolution by natural selection

Darwin's finches on Galapogas islands

400

The change in frequency of sound noticed when a fast loud object moves past an observer

Doppler effect

400

What is the cause of different seasons

Orientation of the Earth/ Earth's tilt and orbit

400

Formula for speed and calculate my speed if i travel 26km in 15mins

Distance/time = 26km/0.25h = 104km/h

500

Number of neutrons of Uranium

232-92 = 140

500

Pieces of evidence that support evolution (at least 3 of 5 to be correct)

fossils, comparative anatomy, DNA & protein sequencing, distribution of species and embryology

500

Describe two pieces of evidence that support the Big Bang Theory

Red shift and the cosmic microwave background radiation

500

Information scientists can gather about past conditions from ice cores

Composition of the air / temperature

500

-walking 1500m to a friends house in 20mins

-staying there for 30mins

-running back home in 10 mins
