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

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

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

8. Day, Night, Seasons 200 Approximately 24 hours Back to Jeopardy Game Board

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

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

11. 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

12. 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

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

14. Day, Night, Seasons 500 Back to Jeopardy Game Board Sun Earth

15. Universe 100 What is a black hole? Back to Jeopardy Game Board

16. Universe 100 A black hole is a collapsed star. When the star dies and collapses, it produces so much gravity that even light cannot escape it. Back to Jeopardy Game Board

17. Universe 200 What is the difference between an asteroid and a meteor? Back to Jeopardy Game Board

18. Universe 200 While both asteroids and meteoroid are made of rock and metal, an asteroid is usually larger than a meteoroid. Also, asteroids orbit the sun; they don’t enter a planet’s atmosphere like a meteoroid can. Back to Jeopardy Game Board

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

20. 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

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

22. 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

23. Universe 500 Compare and contrast the life cycles of average stars and massive stars. Back to Jeopardy Game Board

24. Universe 500 Even though all stars begin the same way, their life cycles also have some differences. To begin, all stars are formed in nebulae. As they grow, they all will run out of hydrogen, cool, expand, and eventually they die. However, smaller stars that have less mass burn fuel slower, so they live longer. More massive, larger stars burn fuel faster, and thus, they run out and die sooner. Average stars turn into black dwarfs when they die, and massive stars supernova and turn into black holes or pulsars. ** Underlined information = most important Back to Jeopardy Game Board

25. Newton’s Laws 100 What is an example of force = mass X acceleration? Back to Jeopardy Game Board

26. 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

27. Newton’s Laws 200 What is an example of Newton’s Law that says that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction? ** Answers may vary Back to Jeopardy Game Board

28. 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

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

30. 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

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

32. Newton’s Laws 400 Gravity Back to Jeopardy Game Board

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

34. 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

35. Eclipses 100 What is an eclipse? Back to Jeopardy Game Board

36. Eclipses 100 When the light from the Sun or the moon is blocked Back to Jeopardy Game Board

37. Eclipses 200 What causes a solar eclipse? Back to Jeopardy Game Board

38. Eclipses 200 When the moon blocks the Sun Back to Jeopardy Game Board

39. Eclipses 300 What causes a lunar eclipse? Back to Jeopardy Game Board

40. Eclipses 300 When the shadow of the Earth covers the moon Back to Jeopardy Game Board

41. Eclipses 400 What kind of eclipse is being shown in the picture below? Back to Jeopardy Game Board Sun Earth moon

42. Eclipses 400 Solar eclipse Back to Jeopardy Game Board

43. Eclipses 500 Draw a diagram of a lunar eclipse Back to Jeopardy Game Board

44. Eclipses 500 Back to Jeopardy Game Board Sun Moon Earth

45. Moon Phases 100 What causes “moon glow”? Back to Jeopardy Game Board

46. Moon Phases 100 Sunlight reflecting off of the moon Back to Jeopardy Game Board

47. Moon Phases 200 Why are moon rocks and Earth rocks similar? Back to Jeopardy Game Board

48. Moon Phases 200 Scientists believe that the moon used to be part of the Earth Back to Jeopardy Game Board

49. Moon Phases 300 Why does it look like the moon phases are changing shape? Back to Jeopardy Game Board Daily Double!!!

50. Moon Phases 300 Due to the position and angle of the Sun, moon, and Earth, it looks like the moon is changing shape. Really, humans on Earth are seeing the whole moon with a shadow covering part of it. Back to Jeopardy Game Board

51. Moon Phases 400 What moon phase is being shown in the picture below? Back to Jeopardy Game Board S M E

52. Moon Phases 400 Half Moon Back to Jeopardy Game Board
