Final Jeopardy

2. Classification/prediction - $100
What does classification mean?
To organize in a meaningful way

3. Classification/prediction - $200
What is a prediction?
To tell what will happen in the future.

4. Classification/prediction - $300
What two things make a prediction easier?
Cyclical events and data that has been collected for a long time.

5. Classification/prediction - $400
Provide two examples of predictions you can make based their cyclic nature and lots of data for a long period of time.
Sun rising and set
Moon phases
Climates of locations
More answers possible

6. Classification/prediction - $500
Create a dichotomous key to separate 5 farm animals into two groups ( cow, horse, sheep, pig, goats)
Any yes or no question that separates them into two groups validly works.

7. Observation/inference - $100
What is an observation?
Using your senses to note or record something about your environment

8. Observation/inference - $200
List 4 instruments used to extend our senses
Microscopes, triple beam balance, ruler, spring scale, telescope, thermometer, anemometer, barometer, beaker, graduated cylinder etc.

9. Observation/inference - $300
What is an inference?
Conclusions made using background information about the statement

10. Observation/inference - $400
Which choice(s) is an inference?
A: The dog is barking.
B: The dog is barking, therefore he must be angry.
C: The dog barking is loud because its hurting my ears. B

11. Observation/inference - $500
Which choice(s) below is an inference?
A: The car is red
B: The car is old because it has rust
C: The car has dents therefore it must have gotten into an accident.
B and C

12. Volume/mass - $100 What does volume mean? How is it calculated?
How much space an object takes up, calculated by length x width x height or water displacement.

13. Volume/mass - $200 What does mass mean? How is it calculated?
How much matter is in an object. Measured using a triple beam balance.

14. Volume/mass - $300
What is the mass of a sample with its volume is 5 ml and its density is 2.5 g/ml?
12.5 grams

15. Volume/mass - $400
What is the volume of an object with a mass of 25 grams and a density of 100 g/ml?
.25 ml

16. Volume/mass - $500
We use a triple beam balance to determine mass using _____________ & _________________ (hint: 5 senses is not the best answer)
A direct comparison with a standard

17. Density - $100
A rock has a mass of 40 grams and a volume of 12 cubic centimeters, what is the density?
3.3 g/cm3

18. Density - $200
Explain what happens to the density as temperatures increase using the molecules of the substance in your description.
As temperatures increase, the molecules spread apart causing the density to go down.

19. Density - $300
If the mass of an object is 10 grams, and the object displaces 45 ml of water when dropped into a beaker, what is the density?
.22 g/ml

20. Density - $400 Which object has the greatest density? How do you know?
A, I took a random mass (10g) from the Y axis and then moved over until I hit each line to determine the volume at that mass for each material. When I divided 10 grams by each volume I determined A had the greatest density and D had the least

21. Density - $500
What happens to the slope of all the lines when I cut the density in half?
Stays the same.

22. Rate of change - $100 What is the formula for rate of change?
Change in field value divided by time

23. Rate of change - $200
If the temperature rose 10 degrees in two hours, what is the rate of change?
5 degrees per hour.

24. Rate of change - $300
A hurricanes wind speeds were 75 mph at noon, and then 125 mph at 4 pm, what is the rate of intensification of the winds?
12.5 mph increase each hour

25. Rate of change - $400
If a car is traveling at 100 mph and slows down to 60 mph in 10 seconds when they see a cop, what is the rate of change?
4 miles per hour a second

26. Rate of change - $500
List 4 earth science topics where rate of change could be important
Volcanic ash movement changes
Wind speed changes
Air pressure changes
Precipitation amount changes
River rate changes
Temperature changes
Dew point changes
Sun, moon, stars movement changes
Ocean current rate changes

27. Final Jeopardy
List at least 4 examples of an observation and then make each an inference.
