Newton's Third Law
A substance that can flow, like liquids and gases. Ex. Air
Fluid
The variable that is measured in an experiment.
Dependent
The force that pushes an aircraft upward.
Lift
When an organism blends in with the surroundings, making the organism hard to see is called?
Camouflage
When natural places where plants and animals live are destroyed or changed. This can make it hard for animals and plants to survive. For example, cutting down forests to build houses or roads is called?
Habitat loss
When an organisms uses colors to look like a more dangerous version of their kind it is called?
Mimicry
Describe how water pollution has an impact on biodiversity.
Dirty water, chemicals, plastic can all cause a decrease in a species population, endangering them, making them leave an area, decreasing biodiversity.

The force that moves an aircraft forward, usually produced by engines or propellers.
Thrust
The variable that is changed in an experiment?
Independent
Draw a parallel circuit with a battery, a bulb, a buzzer and a switch, that controls both components.
The force that slows down an aircraft as it moves through the air, caused by air resistance.
Drag
The variety of animal and plant life in any environment. It can refer to a small area, like a pond, or the entire Earth. It is important because it helps ecosystems stay balanced and provides resources like food and medicine.
