Question
Answer
Law of Conservation of Energy   Energy can NOT be created or destroyed... but it CAN change forms.  
🗑
Potential Energy   Stored energy  
🗑
Kinetic Energy   Energy of movement  
🗑
Force   A push or a pull on an object  
🗑
Balanced Force   Does NOT change the speed or direction of the object  
🗑
Unbalanced Force   Changes the speed and/or direction of the object in the direction of the stronger force  
🗑
Law of Gravity   The force of attraction between objects. Its strength depends on the mass of the objects and their distance from each other.  
🗑
Speed (Velocity)   Distance divided by time  
🗑
Mechanical Energy   The combined energy of motion (kinetic) and position (potential)  
🗑
Chemical Energy   Energy stored in chemical bonds  
🗑
Thermal Energy   Heat  
🗑
Sound Energy   Vibrations  
🗑
Radiation   Energy that can travel through empty space EX: heat from the sun  
🗑
Reflection   When light bounces off a surface Ex: a mirror  
🗑
Refraction   When light bends as it goes through a material Ex: objects look larger/distorted in water  
🗑
Absorption   When light stops at the object and is not reflected or refracted  
🗑
Waves   How energy moves  
🗑
Chemical Property   A property that involves changing the substance into something else Ex: the ability to rust or burn  
🗑
Physical Property   A property that can be observed without changing the substance  
🗑
Density   Mass divided by Volume  
🗑
Volume   The amount of space an object fills  
🗑
Mass   The amount of matter in an object  
🗑
Weight   The amount of gravity pulling on an object. This can change if you go to another planet.  
🗑
Chemical Change   Changes what a substance IS. Ex: Burning wood turns to ash  
🗑
Physical Change   Changes the appearance of an object, it it is still the same substance. Ex: tearing a piece of paper  
🗑
Atom   The smallest unit of an element  
🗑
Protons   Positive charge, found in the nucleus  
🗑
Neutron   Neutral charge, found in the nucleus  
🗑
Electron   Negative charge, found in the electron cloud  
🗑
Element   One type of atom, represented by each square of the periodic table  
🗑
Molecule   More than one atom joined together  
🗑
Solid   Atoms are tightly packed together. Have constant shape and volume.  
🗑
Liquid   Atoms are more loosely packed. The volume is constant, but the shape can change.  
🗑
Acid   pH of 0-6. Sour taste, react with metals. Ex: citrus juice, vinegar  
🗑
Base   pH of 8-14. Bitter taste, feel slippery. Ex: Soap, ammonia, baking soda  
🗑
Neutral   pH of 7. Ex: water  
🗑
Homogeneous Mixture   substances are combined and can not be easily separated  
🗑
Heterogeneous Mixture   substances can be easily separated  
🗑
Gas   Atoms are spread far apart and move around freely. Can change volume and shape.  
🗑


   

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.
