Science Jeopardy TIPS FOR AVOIDING SNAKES IDENTIFYING POISONOUS PLANTS Energy Transformations PhotosynthesisForce of Motion in Organisms Dichotomous Keys Response to External/Internal Stimulus Final JeopardyJeopardy Hosted by the HMS 7 th Grade Science Teachers

Student Expectations 6.9 C Demonstrate energy transformations such as the energy in a flashlight battery changes from chemical energy to electrical energy to light energy. (Supporting Standard) 6.12 D Identify the basic characteristics of organisms, including prokaryotic or eukaryotic, unicellular or multicellular, autotrophic or heterotrophic, and mode of reproduction, that further classify them in the currently recognized Kingdoms. (Supporting Standard) 7.5 A Recognize that radiant energy from the Sun is transformed into chemical energy through the process of photosynthesis. 7.7 C Demonstrate and illustrate forces that affect motion in everyday life such as emergence of seedlings, turgor pressure, and geotropism A Examine organisms or their structures such as insects or leaves and use dichotomous keys for identification. (Supporting Standard) 7.13 A Investigate how organisms respond to external stimuli found in the environment such as phototropism and fight or flight B Describe and relate responses in organisms that may result from internal stimuli such as wilting in plants and fever or vomiting in animals that allow them to maintain balance.

Question Answer A-100 ________energy is transformed into ___________ energy in the diagram shown. Heat (thermal energy) is transformed into mechanical energy “not on test”

Question Answer A-200 What type of energy transformation occurs during the process of photosynthesis? radiant energy to chemical energy

Question Answer A-300 Describe the energy transformations that occur in a moving remote control car that has a battery. Chemical electrical mechanical energy “not on test”

Question Answer A-400 Describe the type of energy transformations that occurs with a flashlight Chemical to electrical to light energy “not on test”

Question Answer A-500 “Energy is neither created nor destroyed; it changes from one form to another” is known as the law of the ________________ of ____________. the “law of the conservation of energy” not on test

Question Answer The process by which radiant energy from the Sun is transformed into chemical energy in plants is called photosynthesis B-100

Question Answer B-200 What is the pigment that makes the leaves of plants green in color. chlorophyll

Question Answer B-300 What are the raw materials or reactants in the chemical formula for photosynthesis? Carbon dioxide, water, and radiant energy from the sun

Question Answer B-400 What are the “end products” of photosynthesis? Glucose and oxygen

Question Answer B-500 During photosynthesis radiant energy from the sun is transformed into chemical energy in the form of _____________. Glucose (sugar)

Question Answer C-100 What is the force or pressure that water within the vacuole exerts on the cell wall, pushing the plant stem outwards. “turgor pressure”

Question Answer C-200 What is it called when a plant grows toward a light source? Positive phototropism

Question Answer C-300 What caused the plant to wilt? (I know it doesn’t have enough water.) A decrease in turgor pressure

Question Answer C-400 Plants recognize this “force” even when turned and will grow their stems upward and their roots downward. “gravity”

Question Answer C-500 What is another term for “geotropism”. “gravitropism” (not on test)

Question Answer D-100 They are created and used to organize and classify large amounts of information, like plant and animal species. What are they called? a “dichotomous key” There will be dichotomous keys on the test where you will need to identify an organism

Question Answer D-500 Identify the species Problematica cantrellis

Question Answer D-800 Use the Dichotomous key to identify the plant: Alibizia julibrissin

Question Answer Safety Tips for Avoiding Snakes or Red & Black friend of Jack Copperhead Cottonmouth 1. Wear shoes and appropriate clothing when walking through habitats in which snakes occur. 2. When hiking always pay attention to the ground and visually check logs, rocks, and other objects before stepping over them. 3. Watch where you place your hands and avoid placing your hands into rocky crevices, hollow logs, holes in the ground or any such location. 4. When lifting objects in places where venomous snakes occur, boards, logs or rocks should be moved with caution to avoid receiving a bite. 5. If you encounter a venomous snake in the wild leave it alone and move away.

Question Answer Poison Ivy, Oak & Sumac "Leaves of three? Let it be.” Prevent rashes by avoiding contact with the plants. Wear gloves, long sleeves and pants

Question Answer E-100 What is it called when a plant responds to sunlight. “phototropism”

Question Answer E-200 It is something that causes a reaction (an action to happen). example: I dropped a bucket of scissors and you reacted by jumping. a “stimulus”

Question Answer E-300 What is balance or equilibrium within an organism called? It’s how the body maintains a stable internal environment. “homeostasis”

Question Answer E-400 When pathogens like bacteria or virus invade humans, the body responds by releasing chemicals to raise the core body temperature, causing a fever. This is an example of the body responding to an ________ ______________. An “internal stimulus

Question Answer E-500 An animal may respond to an external stimulus, such as the presence of a predator by becoming aggressive or running away. What is this response called? the “fight or flight” response

Question Answer FINAL JEOPARDY This experiment is set up to show how ____________ affects the growth of a plant. geotropism or gravity
