If students wanted to know how the amount of force needed to drag a wood block across a surface is affected by the type of surface, what would they need to change in the experiment? What would stay the same?
The type of surface would change but the amount of force, spring scale, and block would all stay the same for each trial.
What are they trying to determine in this experiment?
How mass affects the force needed to move objects

refraction
Around what time is shown in the picture?
3-4pm
Predict which surface, concrete floor, carpet, or grass, that the balloon car will travel the least distance.
grass, because it has more texture/more friction and will not travel as far
What causes seasons?
The Earth's tilt as it orbits the sun
What is the magnetism of an iron nail?
magnetic
the amount of matter in an object
mass
How is light behaving as it encounters both materials?
Material 1 it is refracting, material 2 it is reflecting
As air is released from the balloon, which way will the balloon car move?
west
How would you separate a honey and water?
evaporate the water
Why does it look like the sun rises and sets?
The Earth is spinning (rotating) on its axis
The Moon ORBITS the Earth and ________ light from the Sun.
reflects
Which object are less dense than water?

What would you change to reduce the amount of force needed to move the masses?
decrease the height of the ramp
Which 2 switches can be open and all the parts will still work?
1 and 3
Which property of matter would be used to separate sand and water?
state of matter --> separate with filter paper
Complete the sentence: all metals are ___________ but not all metals are ___________.
all metals are CONDUCTORS but not all metals are MAGNETIC
Which surface provided the least amount of friction?
concrete
In which season(s) is the Earth NOT tilted toward or away from the Sun?
