Question Answer A-100 A change in velocity during a period of time; to speed up, slow down, or change direction/ turn. What is acceleration?

Question Answer A-200 The study of stars, planets, and other heavenly bodies. What is astronomy?

Question Answer A-300 Large geographic regions (ecosystems) with similar climates and communities; climate determines type of organisms; plants determine the animals that live there; humidity affects climate (in many cases humidity increases as temperature increases); change as distance from equator (latitude) changes; altitude affects climate. What are biomes?

Question Answer A-400 Change to a denser form, as from a gas to a liquid. What is condense?

Question Answer A-500 Organisms that can’t make their own food but get their energy by eating or consuming other organisms. What are consumers?

Question Answer Organisms that get energy by consuming dead organisms and wastes of living organisms; their function in an ecosystem is to recycle materials so they can be used again; the final link in any food chain. What are decomposers? B-100

Question Answer B-200 A complete or partial blocking of light. What is an eclipse?

Question Answer B-300 Collection of living and non-living parts that affect organisms living in an area. What is an ecosystem?

Question Answer B-400 Oval having both ends alike. What is an ellipse/ elliptical?

Question Answer B-500 The combining of less massive elements to form more massive elements; sun/ stars get energy from this--hydrogen combining to form helium. What is fusion?

Question Answer C-100 A substance used to show the presence of something, as by changing color at a certain range of pH values (ex. Red cabbage juice, phenolphthalein, blueberries, grape juice). What is an indicator?

Question Answer C-200 The mount of matter in any object (measured, for example, in g, kg). What is mass?

Question Answer C-300 The path f any object around a primary object; to travel in circles. What is an orbit?

Question Answer C-400 Green plants use energy from sunlight to combine carbon dioxide and water; sugars and oxygen are produced. What is photosynthesis?

Question Answer C-500 The state of being acted upon by a steadily applied force or weight. What is pressure?

Question Answer D-100 Organisms that make their own food; ex. green plants get energy from sunlight and make food during photosynthesis; (the organism that is always at the bottom of a food chain). What are producers?

Question Answer D-200 Energy is released in cells, sugar and oxygen combine; carbon dioxide and water are given off. What is respirations?

Question Answer D-300 The movement of any object around another body. What is revolution (revolve)?

Question Answer D-400 The turning of an object on a central axis or point. What is rotation (rotate)?

Question Answer D-500 A heavenly body that revolves around a planet (the moon is a natural one of earth); an object manufactured and placed in orbit by humans, revolving around any heavenly body carrying instruments that collect and transmit information about energy in space. What is a satellite?

Question Answer E-100 A biological grouping for similar kinds of plants or animals that can usually only interbreed among themselves. What is a species?

Question Answer E-200 Distance divided by time (ex. Miles/hour, or mph). What is speed?

Question Answer E-300 The gaseous form of a substance that is usually found as a solid or liquid. What is vapor?

Question Answer E-400 Speed (distance divided by time) and direction (ex. 3 mph, east). What is velocity?

Question Answer E-500 The measure of the pull of gravity on an object’s mass (measured, for example, in lb., N [Newton]). What is weight?
