What is Approaching Basic?
A student at this level has demonstrated only the fundamental knowledge and skills needed for the next level of schooling.
What is basic?
A student at this level has demonstrated competency over challenging subject matter and is well prepared for the next level of schooling.
What is Mastery?
A student at this level has demonstrated superior performance beyond the level of mastery.
What is Advanced?
Organisms in this Kingdom have characteristics of both plants and animals.
What is Kingdom Protista?
These are the three main ingredients of photosynthesis.
What are CO 2, water, & sunlight?
These are the two types of cells.
What are Prokaryotes & Eukaryotes?
While plants & algae are able to make there own food, all organism must complete this process to free the energy in the food in order to survive.
What is cellular respiration?
Oxygen and carbon dioxide molecules pass freely through cell membranes. This factor determines the direction most molecules will pass through the cell Membrane.
What is the concentration of the gas molecules on each side of the membrane? A.K.A. Concentration Gradient
The element that will gain only one electron during a chemical reaction.
What is Chlorine?
The rate at which an object changes its position.
What is a velocity?
p = mv
What is a momentum= mass x velocity?
Calcium, strontium, and barium are commonly called this kind of element.
What is alkaline?
When an airplane’s ailerons move in opposite directions they usually cause a plane to do this.
What is roll?
Two students set up identical lab experiments to determine the effects of heat on photosynthesis rates. One student only has plants that receive the treatment, while the other includes this to ensure the results are reliable.
What is the control?
The educated guess that a scientist creates based on observations and research about the natural world.
What is an hypothesis?
Goggles, apron, close-toed shoes, hair pulled back, avoid food & drink, walk, nor horse-play.
What are lab safety precautions?
The hypothesis for the following: Yellow “dust” accumulates on the ground and other materials, oak trees do not have leaves, but do have long bumpy structures that release the dust when the wind blows.
What is a prediction that the oak trees are entering the early stages of reproduction which is pollen exchange?
White light consists of wavelengths of all colors. The shorter wavelengths appear blue, and the longer wavelengths appear red. Blue light is scattered more easily by Earth’s atmosphere than red light. That is why the sky appears blue during most of the day. This is why at sunset the sky appears red.
What is the angle of the setting sun causes sunlight to travel a greater distance through the atmosphere, thus causing blue light to scatter before it reaches the observer?
The part of the world where all life exists.
What is the biosphere?
Minerals and fossil fuels are classified as this type of resource because it takes so long for them to be made.
What are Non-renewable Resources?
Scientist who studies volcanoes.
What is a Volcanologist?
Lithospheric plates move constantly causing three types of geological events from the plate movement.
What are earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and mountain building?
About 14 elements make up the Earth’s crust. Silicon is ~28%; another important element comprises 47%. This element can be generated from mercuric oxide and is responsible for nearly 50% of the weight of the earth’s crust.
What is oxygen?
