Term
Definition
Evaporation   The point at which water turns to water vapor  
🗑
Condensation   The point at which water vapor turns back to water  
🗑
Constant Property   Property of matter that does NOT change. It stays the same  
🗑
Magnetism   The force of attraction or repel between 2 objects usually metal (iron, nickel, Cobalt & steel)  
🗑
Attract   A force that causes objects to pull together  
🗑
Repel   A force that causes objects to push back or away from one another  
🗑
Mixture   Two or more substances that when mixed together can be separated easily (trail mix, fruit salad)  
🗑
Solution   Two or more substances that when mixed together can NOT be separated (salt water, sweet tea)  
🗑
Soluble   Something that can be dissolved (sugar, salt)  
🗑
Solvent   The liquid that does the dissolving (water)  
🗑
Filtration   A process using a strainer to separate the larger particles in a mixture  
🗑
Settling   Allows the dense materials to sink to the bottom  
🗑
Dissolve   To add solid or gas to a liquid so that the particles get so small you can no longer see them  
🗑
Ingredients   The individual substances added to a mixture  
🗑
Potential Energy   Stored energy. No motion is taking place. This depends on an object's position. Ex. A ball NOT rolling, a still roller coaster at the top of the track, a book on a shelf  
🗑
Kinetic Energy   The energy of motion. This depends on mass and speed. Ex. A book falling or a ball rolling  
🗑
Friction   The force in which two things rub against each other (It causes things to heat up and slow down)  
🗑
Force   A push or a pull  
🗑
Pressure   To apply a force on the Surface of an object  
🗑
Motion   A change in the position of an object  
🗑
Energy   The ability to do work (potential, kinetic, chemical, mechanical, electrical, heat, light and sound)  
🗑
Mechanical Energy   Work done from something that with moving parts  
🗑
Conductor   A material that allows heat energy or electricity to pass through it easily (usually metal)  
🗑
Insulator   A material that does not let heat energy or electricity pass through it easily (plastic, rubber, cloth, wood, Styrofoam)  
🗑
Thermal   Another word for heat  
🗑
Solar Energy   Energy produced by the Sun  
🗑
Radiation   The movement of thermal energy through space  
🗑
Heat Resistant   Able to withstand heat  
🗑
Absorb   To take in or soak up  
🗑
Convection   The movement of heat energy through liquids and gases in currents. Heat rises when it cools then it sinks (lava lamp)  
🗑
Current Electricity   The flow of electrons through a conductor or path. Will produce light, heat or sound  
🗑
Circuit   A closed path that electrons flow through, made up of a source, path, switch and resistor  
🗑
Static Electricity   Electric charge that builds up on an object and instead of flowing as a current, it creates a spark  
🗑
Source/Cell   Electricity from a battery, solar, cell, fossil fuels or wind generators  
🗑
Path   A wire that a current flows through  
🗑
Switch   Turns a circuit on and off  
🗑
Resistor/Load   The object you want to work (light, TV, radio)  
🗑
Electromagnet   A temporary magnet made of Wire wrapped around a piece of iron hooked up to a battery  
🗑
Series Circuit   An electric circuit in which electrons have only one path to take. If one light goes out or is removed, they all go out  
🗑
Parallel Circuit   A circuit where the electrons have many paths to take. If one light is removed the other lights will still work and will get brighter.  
🗑
Reflect   The bouncing off of light rays from a surface (Enters and exits at the same angle) (Mirror, still water)  
🗑
Refract   The bending of light as it moves from one material into another (Rainbows, pencil in water)  
🗑
Visible Light Spectrum   The mixture of Colors of White light broken into their individual colors of the rainbow (ROY G BIV)  
🗑
Convex Lens   Thicker in the middle, makes objects look bigger  
🗑
Concave Lens   Lens is thinner in the middle, makes objects look smaller  
🗑
Transparent   Clear, all light can pass through  
🗑
Translucent   Cloudy, some light can pass through (Wax Paper, Stain Glass Window)  
🗑
Opaque   No light can pass through (Trying to look through a wooden desk)  
🗑
Sound   Created when molecules vibrate. The closer the molecules the better sound travels. Solid Carries sound the best  
🗑
Vibration   Back and forth motion of a substance that produces sound  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
