| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Closed conduction loop through which an electric current can flow. | Circuit |
| Material,such as copper wire, in which electrons can move easily. | Conductor |
| The net movement of electric charges in a single direction, measured in amperes. | Electric Current |
| Material in which electrons are not able to move easily, and material in which heat flows slowly. | Insulator |
| Circuit in which electric current has more than one path to follow. | Parallel Circuit |
| Circuit in which electric current has only one path to follow. | Series Circuit |
| Electric current that reverses its direction of flow in a regular pattern. | Alternating Current |
| Electric current that flows in only on direction. | Direct Current |
| Change of one substance into a new substance. | Chemical Change |
| Any characteristic of a substance, such as flammability, that indicates whether it can undergo a certain chemical change. | Chemical Properties |
| Substance formed from two or more elements in which the exact combination and proportion of elements in always the same. | Compound |
| Substance with atoms that are all alike. | Element |
| Any change in size, shape, or state of matter in which the identify of the substance remains the same. | Physical Change |
| Any characteristic of a material, such as size or shape, that you can observe or attempt to observe without changing the identify of the material. | Physical Properties |
| If you decrease the volume of a container of gas and hold the temperature constant, the pressure of the gas will increase. | Boyle's Law |
| The volume of a gas increase with increasing temperature, as long as pressure does not change. | Charles's Law |
| Pressure applied to a fluid's is transmitted throughout the fluid. | Pascal Principle |
| AS the velocity of a fluid increase, the pressure exerted by the fluid decreases. | Bernoulli's Principle |
| a law of physics stating that the apparent upward force (buoyancy) of a body immersed in a fluid is equal to the weight of the displaced fluid | Archimedes Principle |
| Explanation of the behavior of molecules in matter; states that all matter is made of constantly moving particles that collide without losing energy. | Kinetic Theory |
