This is where the fruit of a plant is produced

flower

In this state of matter the atoms are neither too close or too far apart

liquid

In this state of matter the atoms are spread far apart

gas

In this state of matter the atoms are really close together

solid

A dependent variable

depends on the independent variable that is being changed--The result of the change

An independent variable is

Something that "I" change

What characteristic deals with different qualities of an object (not numbers)

Qualitative

What characteristic deals with numbers only?

Quantitative

What is the part of the plant that produces seeds so the plant can reproduce?

flower

What part of the plant is where photosynthesis takes place and where the food for the plant is made?

leaves

Pollen is made here (the male part of the flower)

stamen

The female reproductive part of the plant

pistil

In this process sugar called glucose is made and oxygen is released. This is the process where plants are able to make their own food

photosynthesis

This allows water and nutrients to get from roots to leaves and provides support for plant

stem

This is where all living and nonliving parts of communities in the same area interact

ecosystem

This is an animals home

Habitat

All food chains and food webs starts their energy from the

sun

This is where all the organisms of the same species living in the same place at the same time

population

This is the function or role of an organism in a community

niche

After the sun, all food chains start with a

producer

All food chains end with a

decomposter

This measures the amount of rain that has fallen since the last measurement

rain gauge

This measures wind speed and direction

anemometer

This measures the atmospheric pressure (air pressure)

barometer

This is the day to day state of the atmosphere of a given area (the daily weather)

weather

This is the average weather conditions over an extended period of time (over 30 years)

climate

This cloud may produce thunderstorms

cumulonimbus

This cloud is a fluffy, white cloud and usually indicates sunny fair weather

Cumulus

This cloud is like a gray blanket that covers the sky and is associated with light rain and drizzle

Stratus

This is a huge slow-moving storm that occurs over warm ocean water

Hurricane

This is a funnel shaped column of air that forms from thunderstorms when wind changes direction and gains strength from the height

Tornado

Earth does this on its axis once every 24 hours and this gives us day and night

rotates

Earth does this around the sun every 365 days

revolves

All planets revolve around what

the sun

The axial tilt of Earth and revolution around the sun is the reason for what

seasons

This revolves around Earth once every 28 days

the moon

Early astronomers believed that this was the center of the universe and all other heavenly bodies orbited around it. This was found to be false

Earth

We now know that this is the center of the solar system and all planets revolve around it

the Sun

The first four planets are called what

Terrestrial Planets

The last four planets are known as what

Gas Giants

What is the moon phase called when we can see the full ball shape feature of the moon

full moon

What is salinity

Amount of salt in water

The deep part of the ocean floor is called the

trench

The part of the ocean floor that we walk on when we go to the beach is called the

continental shelf

This is an area of land over which surface water flows to a single collection place

watershed

This is a material that comes from nature

Natural Resource

This is the most abundant natural resource in Virginia

Coal

This is the energy of heat

thermal

This is the energy of motion

mechanical

This is energy of light

Radiant

This energy is associated with flowing electrons, like static electricity and current electricity

Electrical

When you toast a piece of bread in the toaster what energy transformation is taking place

Electrical to thermal

Motion can be described as an object's what

Direction and speed

This is a push or pull that causes an object to move, stop, or change speed or direction

Force

Moving objects have this type of energy

Kinetic (Mechanical)

This energy is stored energy

Potential Energy

This allows electricity to flow

closed circuit

This stops the flow of electricity

Open Circuit

This consists of a bulb, battery, and wire

simple circuit

Materials that allow electricity to easily flow through are

conductors

Materials that do not allow electricity to flow through are

insulators

This is made when you wrap coils around a nail

electromagnet

This is a form of mechanical energy produced and transmitted by vibrating matter

Sound

In a sound wave, when the waves are pressed close together that is called a

compression

The faster the vibrations the higher the what

Pitch

This is where light passes through materials easily

Transparent

This is where light partially passes through materials

Translucent

This is where light does not pass through materials at all

Opaque

The sun produces this form of energy

Radiant Energy

This is the number of waves that pass a point over a period of time

frequency

This is the high point in a light wave

crest

This is the low point in a light wave

trough

This color has the longest wavelength and the shortest frequency on the visible spectrum

REd

The sum of all colors is what

white

When light bounces off an object this occurs

reflection

When light is this the waves are bent

refraction

This is anything that has mass and takes up space

Matter

This is the amount of matter in an object

Mass

This occurs when two or more substances are combined but do not lose their identifying properties

Mixture

This is a special type of mixture when one substance is uniformly dissolved in a liquid

Solution

If I have a solid and I want to turn it into a liquid I must do this

Increase the temperature

If I have a liquid and I want to turn it into a solid I need to do this

Decrease the temperature

This shows how rock is always changing from one type to another

Rock Cycle

This rock is formed when a rock is melted and cooled

Igneous

This rock is formed when layers of sediment are cemented together

Sedimentary

These provides information about life and conditions of the past

Fossils

This is a boundary where plates slip past each other horizontally

Transform

This is a boundary where plates move toward each other

Convergent

This is a boundary where plates move apart from each other

Divergent

From outer to inner what is the order of the layers of earth

Crust, Mantle, Outer Core, Inner Core

Which is true about energy

Energy can transform and cannot be created or destroyed

What is renewable energy

Energy that can be reused like the sun, water, wind

Nonrenewable resources are resources that

are used up and takes millions of years to form

What two words does a hypothesis have to have?

If & Then

This absorbs water and nutrients and anchor plants in soil

Roots

This is the top of the pistil and pollen lands here

Stigma
