  • After the sun, all food chains start with a
    producer
  • This is where the fruit of a plant is produced
    flower

    photosynthesis
  • The sun produces this form of energy
    Radiant Energy
  • Pollen is made here (the male part of the flower)
    stamen
  • Moving objects have this type of energy
    Kinetic (Mechanical)
  • The axial tilt of Earth and revolution around the sun is the reason for what
    seasons
  • What is the part of the plant that produces seeds so the plant can reproduce?
    flower
  • This is made when you wrap coils around a nail
    electromagnet
  • This is the high point in a light wave
    crest
  • All food chains end with a
    decomposter
  • This is a material that comes from nature
    Natural Resource
  • What is salinity
    Amount of salt in water
  • This is a boundary where plates slip past each other horizontally
    Transform
  • Nonrenewable resources are resources that
    are used up and takes millions of years to form
  • This cloud is a fluffy, white cloud and usually indicates sunny fair weather
    Cumulus
  • What part of the plant is where photosynthesis takes place and where the food for the plant is made?
    leaves
  • What two words does a hypothesis have to have?
    If & Then
  • What characteristic deals with different qualities of an object (not numbers)
    Qualitative
  • What characteristic deals with numbers only?
    Quantitative
  • The part of the ocean floor that we walk on when we go to the beach is called the
    continental shelf
  • The first four planets are called what
    Terrestrial Planets
  • The faster the vibrations the higher the what
    Pitch
  • The last four planets are known as what
    Gas Giants
  • In this state of matter the atoms are spread far apart
    gas
  • In this state of matter the atoms are neither too close or too far apart
    liquid
  • 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
  • A dependent variable
    depends on the independent variable that is being changed--The result of the change
  • This is a boundary where plates move toward each other
    Convergent
  • Earth does this on its axis once every 24 hours and this gives us day and night
    rotates
  • This is where light passes through materials easily
    Transparent
  • This is an animals home
    Habitat
  • From outer to inner what is the order of the layers of earth
    Crust, Mantle, Outer Core, Inner Core
  • This revolves around Earth once every 28 days
    the moon
  • This energy is associated with flowing electrons, like static electricity and current electricity
    Electrical
  • What is renewable energy
    Energy that can be reused like the sun, water, wind
  • This stops the flow of electricity
