Back to Jeopardy Game Board Day, Night, Seasons 100 What causes day and night on Earth?

Day, Night, Seasons 100 The rotation (spinning) of the Earth Back to Jeopardy Game Board

Day, Night, Seasons 200 How long does it take for the Earth to rotate one time? Back to Jeopardy Game Board

Day, Night, Seasons 200 Approximately one day or 24 hours Back to Jeopardy Game Board

What causes the seasons on Earth? Day, Night, Seasons 300 Back to Jeopardy Game Board

Day, Night, Seasons 300 The tilt of the Earth’s axis and its revolution (or orbit) around the Sun Back to Jeopardy Game Board

Day, Night, Seasons 400 What would the season be in the northern hemisphere in the picture below? Explain your answer. Back to Jeopardy Game Board Sun

Day, Night, Seasons 400 It would be summer in the northern hemisphere because the northern part of the axis (north pole) is tilted toward the sun, so the northern hemisphere is receiving more direct sunlight. Back to Jeopardy Game Board

Day, Night, Seasons 500 Draw a picture of the Earth and Sun that shows winter in the Southern Hemisphere. Back to Jeopardy Game Board

Universe 100 What is a comet? Back to Jeopardy Game Board

Universe 100 Small, frozen, mass of dust and gas revolving around the sun in a highly elliptical orbit. May form a tail. Back to Jeopardy Game Board

Universe 200 List in order from space to Earth: Meteor, Meteorite, Meteoroid Back to Jeopardy Game Board

Universe 200 Meteoroid, Meteor, Meteorite Back to Jeopardy Game Board

Universe 300 Explain how scientists believe that the universe formed. Back to Jeopardy Game Board

Universe 300 Scientists believe that our universe formed about 20 billion years ago with an explosion of concentrated matter and energy, and it has been expanding ever since. This is called the “Big Bang Theory”. Back to Jeopardy Game Board

Universe 400 Compare and contrast a solar system and a galaxy. Back to Jeopardy Game Board

Universe 400 A solar system is a collection of planets and their moons that orbit around ONE star. A galaxy is a system of millions or billions of stars held together by gravity. Back to Jeopardy Game Board

Universe 500 Describe how scientists think stars and solar systems form. Back to Jeopardy Game Board

Universe 500 A large cloud of gas and dust (nebula) starts to spin and flatten. Nuclear fusion begins in the middle and a star is born. The left over gas and dust clumps together to form planets. Back to Jeopardy Game Board

Newton’s Laws 100 What is an example of Newton’s second law? Back to Jeopardy Game Board

Newton’s Laws 100 It takes more force to push a full shopping cart than an empty one because a full cart has more mass. ** Answers may vary Back to Jeopardy Game Board

Newton’s Laws 200 What is an example of Newton’s third law? Back to Jeopardy Game Board

Newton’s Laws 200 Newton’s Cradle – when you lift and drop one of the balls, the ball on the opposite side goes up. Back to Jeopardy Game Board

Newton’s Laws 300 Summarize each of Newton’s three laws. Back to Jeopardy Game Board

Newton’s Laws 300 First Law: Objects resist changes in motion (inertia) The greater the mass of an object the greater the force needed to change its motion. (Force = Mass X Acceleration) Second Law: The greater the mass of an object the greater the force needed to change its motion. (Force = Mass X Acceleration) Third Law: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction Back to Jeopardy Game Board

Newton’s Laws 400 What force keeps the planets in orbit around the sun? Back to Jeopardy Game Board

Newton’s Laws 400 Gravity Back to Jeopardy Game Board

Newton’s Laws 500 Define gravity and explain the two factors that affect an object’s gravity Back to Jeopardy Game Board

Newton’s Laws 500 Gravity is: All objects are attracted to one another The two factors that affect gravity are the mass of the object and the distance to the object. Back to Jeopardy Game Board

Life Cycle of a Star 100 What is nuclear fusion? Back to Jeopardy Game Board

Life Cycle of a Star 100 Two hydrogen atoms join together (fuse) to make a helium atom. Produces heat and light energy that makes the star glow. Back to Jeopardy Game Board

Life Cycle of a Star 200 How are both massive and average sized stars born? Back to Jeopardy Game Board

Life Cycle of a Star 200 In a large cloud of gas and dust called a nebula, nuclear fusion begins in the middle and a star is born. Back to Jeopardy Game Board
