| science | Answers |
|---|---|
| Co-valent Bonding | When two atoms are able to share electrons |
| Ionic Bonding | Atoms lose or gain electrons to make each other complete (electrons are not shared) |
| Metal Atoms | Tend to lose electrons |
| Non-Metal Atoms | Tend to gain electrons |
| My Very Eager Mother Just Sold Us Nine Pizzas | Mercury,Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto |
| Terrestrial Planets | Four planets closest to the sun-Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars |
| Terrestrial Planets Composition | Rocky and small-dense in composition |
| Jovian Planets | Jupitar, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune |
| Jovian Planets Composition | Gaseous, large, outer planets and low in density |
| Archipelago | A group or chain of island clustered together in a sea or ocean |
| Atoll | A ring or partial ring, or coral that forms an island in an ocean or sea |
| Bay | A body of water that is partly enclosed by land |
| Butte | Flat-topped rock or hill formation with steep sides |
| Canyon | Deep valley with very steep sides |
| Cape | A pointed piece of land that sticks out into a sea, ocean, lake, or river |
| Cove | A small, horseshoe-shaped body of water along the coast |
| Cave | Is a large hole in the ground or in the side of a hill or mountain. |
| Cliff | Is a steep face of rock and soil |
| Isthmus | A narrow strip of land connecting two larger landmasses. |
| Strait | A narrow bady of water that connects two larger bodies of water |
| Tributary | A stream or river that flows into a larger river. |
| What accurs near plate boundaries? | Geological activity, such as earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions, occus at or near plate boundaries. |
| Divergent Plate Boundaries | Plates move apart |
| Convergent Plate Boundaries | Plates move together |
| Transform Plate Boundaries | Plates move past one another in opposite directions |
| Ignous Rock | Formed from molten material, magma |
| Sedimentary | Rock formed by settling to the bottom of oceans and lakes. (sandstone, shale, limestone) |
| Metamorphic Rock | Ignous or sedimentary rock that has been changed by heat, pressure, or chemical action.(slate, gneiss,marble) |
| Isotope | Atom is missing or has an extra neutron |
| Newtons Law #1 | Things tend to deep on doing what they are doing unless acted upon. Example Yo-Yo |
| Newtons Law #2 | The more mass you have the more acceleration you must have to get the same results. |
| Newtons Law #3 | For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Example Rocket ship |
| Conduction | Heat transferred by solids |
| Convection | Heat transferred by liquids |
| Radiation | Is the transfer of heat by electromagnetic waves. |
| Wave Length | Refraction, reflection, diffraction, and interference |
| Oxidation | Loss of an electron by a molecule, atom or ion |
| Reduction | Gaining an electron by a molecule, atom or ion |
| Caytalyst | Substance that accelerates the speed of a chemical reaction without itself being transformed or consumed by the reaction. |
| Ionic bond | Between non metals and metals |
| Parallel Circuit | When more then on path is provided for the passage of electrons divide themselves among the separate conductors and current flows in each of the paths. |
| Series Circuit | When electrons follow a single path from their source to their destination. |
| Independent Varible | Has the 'I' which means 'I' the experimenter is going to change. Example: using different types of meds to lower a fever. The meds are the independent varible and the fever the dependent varible. |
| Dependent Variable | What you are trying to change. In the tomatoe plants the fertilizer is the independent varible and the growth of the plants is the dependent variable because that is what we were trying to change. |
| Acceleration | The rate at which speed or direction is changing. |
| Displacement | A vector or the magnitude of a vector from the initial position to a subsequent position assumed by a body. Refers to how far person or abject moved. |
| Velocity | distance traveled in a specified amount of time (a change in velocity is called acceleration Newton's 2nd law) Is a measure of how fast a person or object got from one point to another and can be found by calculating the displacement over a certain time. |
| Speed | the rate or measure of the rate of motion. Measures how fast a person or object has traveled over a certain distance in a certain amount of time. |
| Distance | Refers to how far a person or object has traveled. |
| Velocity or average speed. The car covered 500 km in the first 10 hours of its nortthward journey | (blank) |
| Velocity or Average speed: Five seconds into the launch, the rocket was shooting upward at 5000 meters per second. | Velocity |
| Velocity or Speed: The cheetah can run at 70 mph. | Speed |
| Velocity or Average Speed: Moving at five km per hour, it will take us eight hours to get to the base camp. | Average Speed |
| Volicity or Speed: Roger Bannister was the first person to run one mile in less than four minutes. | Average Speed |
| Non Polar Bonds | With an equal sharing of electrons |
| Polar Bonds | Unequal sharing of electrons |
| Size of Mercury | 2nd smallest planet and 1/3 diameter of the earth |

| Composition of Earth | Densest body |
| Composition of Mars | Dry, rocky, dusty, impact craters, frozen ground, core iron and a red planet |
| Composition of Jupiter | Mainly gas |
| Composition of Saturn | Composed of Hydrogen and Helium |
| Composition of Uranus | Mostly methane gas |
| Composition of Neptune | Mostly hydrogen and helium |
| What planet rotates in the opposite direction of other planets | Venus |
| Gonads | Sex organs that produce Gametes |
| Sperm are produced by | meiosis |
| Male Sex Hormones | The anterior pituitary produces follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) |
