Earth is the ________ planet from the sun.

3rd

The “_________ __________” are the five planets in the solar system that are farther from the sun.

Outer planets

___________ and Venus are 2 planets that are HOTTER than Earth due to their closer position to the sun.

Mercury

Name the 5 outer planets and describe what they are made of.

The outer planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. All of these are made up mostly of gases, except Pluto.

A rocket sitting on a launch pad is an example of ____________ energy, which is “stored energy.”

Potential

If a bicycle is rolling down a hill, we know that this moving bicycle has _________ energy, which is energy of motion.

kinetic

The flow of heat energy through water such as when we boil water on a stove is called __________________

convection

The food we eat is __________ energy that is stored as potential energy for our later use.

chemical

When a person burns his/her hand by touching a hot iron, this type of heat transfer is called _____________.

conduction

The blanket of air surrounding the Earth is called the Earth’s ___________________.

atmosphere

The lowest layer of Earth’s atmosphere is called the ________________.

troposphere

All of Earth’s water is considered to be in the ___________________. What part of the word tells you this sphere has to do with water?

Hydrosphere Hydro-

The “solid portion of the Earth” is called the ______________. What part of the word is a hint to help you remember what sphere land is considered?

geosphere geo-

The _____________________ describes how over time, igneous rock becomes sedimentary rock; sedimentary rock then becomes metamorphic rock.

Rock Cycle

Scientists (air traffic controllers) at airports use ___________________ technology to locate airplanes in the sky. Police can also use this to measure the speed of cars and trucks traveling on the highways.

Radar

An instrument called a _________________ is used to measure the strength of an earthquake.

seismograph

__________________ is a type of technology that uses sound waves. This is how scientists locate (find) things in deep water such as finding a sunken ship at the bottom of the ocean.

sonar

A __________ ____________ is a type of technology used in dangerous space missions to study far away planets. These are valuable tools because they do not carry humans on these dangerous missions and this tool can actually collect surface samples.

Space probe

________________ technology is used to study planets in our solar system. This technology is helpful for weather prediction and can also allow homes to receive television channels.

satellite

_________________ energy is produced when “electricity is generated from the force of falling water.”

hydroelectric

_________________ is the form of energy transfer that allows us to feel the warmth of the sun on our skin. This type of energy moves through matter and empty space.

Radiation

The layer of Earth’s atmosphere where weather occurs is called the _______________.

troposphere

A metamorphic rock can change into an igneous rock, but first it must _________________ _________________.

Become hot enough to melt

The ___________ ____________ is a very expensive yet valuable telescope to study the planets. Because it is a space-based telescope, it can take pictures that are ten times (10X) clearer than Earth-based telescopes.
