12
Define temperature. Answer…
13
The measure of kinetic energy in a molecule. 100
14
What is the relationship between kinetic energy and temperature? Answer…
15
Temperature is the measure of kinetic energy in a molecule. 200
16
What happens to the speed of atoms and molecules when they absorb and lose energy? Answer…
17
When they absorb energy, their speed increases. When they lose energy, their speed decreases. 300
18
Is air an empty space, or is it made of anything? Answer…
19
It is made up of molecules. 400
20
Make a prediction of what you will do during winter break. Why is this called a prediction? Answer…
21
A prediction is what you think will happen. A prediction is what you think will happen. 500
22
What is a thermometer? Answer…
23
It measures the temperature. 100
24
Name 3 types of biomes. Answer…
25
Some biomes are Temperate Forest, Tundra, Taiga, Rainforest, Desert and Grassland 200
26
What is the difference between a revolution and rotation? Answer…
27
Revolution: Around the sun Rotation:Around it’s axis. 300
28
What is the difference between direct and indirect sunlight? Answer…
29
Direct light: when light hits at a 90 degree angle Indirect Light: Light hits at any other angle than 90 degrees. 400
30
When does the winter solstice happen and what happens to the hours in a day? Answer…
31
Winter Solstice is on December 21 and the hours in a day increase. 500
32
1.0 is the specific heat capacity of what substance? Answer…
33
H 2 O or Water. 100
34
What is convection? Answer…
35
Convection is when heat is traveled through air or water currents. 200
36
Which substance, black top or concrete will heat up faster on a hot summer day? Answer…
37
Black Top 300
38
Define an analogy. Answer…
39
An analogy is a comparison of certain similarities between things which are otherwise unlike. 400
40
Describe the effect that indirect vs. direct light have on reflection of heat energy from the sun. Answer…
41
Indirect light make things reflect more light and direct light reflects less. 500
42
How does increased elevation affect the pressure and temperature? Answer…
43
It makes the pressure and temperature go down. 100
44
Do air molecules take up more space at sea level or at higher elevations? Answer…
45
It will take up more space at higher elevations because they spread out. 200
46
Explain why warm air rises. Answer…
47
Because it is less dense than the air around it. 300
48
Why does a low elevation have more pressure? Answer…
49
It is because the weight of more air molecules presses down on the earth’s surface. 400
50
Why is it harder to breathe at higher altitudes? Answer…
51
It is because there is less air molecules of O 2 (Oxygen). 500
52
What is an anemometer? Answer…
53
It is a tool used to measure wind speed. 100
54
What is relative humidity? Answer…
55
The actual amount of water vapor in the air compared to what the air can hold. 200
56
Describe the water cycle. Answer…
57
Water falls from the atmosphere to Earth as precipitation and the water gets evaporated and it turns into a gas. Then the air rises and then it goes through condensation. 300
58
What is the difference between local winds and global winds? Answer…
59
Global Winds; the constant movement of air and weather around the earth Local winds move closer to each other 400
60
What kind of weather do warm fronts bring? Answer…
61
Clouds and rain. After 2 days, there is a period of hot and humid weather. 500
