1. ________________ Back and forth motion. (This is what causes sounds to occur).
2. ________________ An area of bunched-up and spread-out particles that move
outward in all directions.
3. ________________ A sound wave must have this to travel. (Example- Solid,
Liquid, or Gas.)
4. ________________ The distance from the top of one wave to the top of the next.
5. ________________ The number of wavelengths that pass a reference point in a
given amount of time.
6. ________________ The highness or lowness of a sound as determined by its
frequency.
7. ________________ Sound can not travel through this. (Example- Space)
8. ________________ When a sound wave disappears into a surface.
9. ________________ Bats use this to find their food.
10. ________________ The loudness or softness of a sound.
11. ________________ is the height of a sound wave.
12. ________________ The movement of thermal energy from warmer to cooler
objects.
13. ________________ is used to measure how hot or cold something is.
14. ________________ The transfer of energy between two objects that are touching.
15. _________________ is the ability of a material to transfer heat.
16. ________________ The transfer of energy by flowing gases or liquid, such as the
rising of warm air from a heater.
17. ________________ The transfer of energy through space, such as the sun
warming earth.
18. _______________ A material that slows or stops the flow of energy, such as heat,
electricity, and sound. Examples include: wool, wood, rubber and plastic.
19. _______________ A material through which heat or electricity flows easily.
Examples are: cooper, iron and other metals.
20. _______________ Letting only some light through, so that objects on the other
side appear blurry.
21. _______________ Letting all or most light through so that objects on the other
side can be seen clearly.
22. _______________ Completely blocking light from passing through.
23. _____________ A tiny bundle of energy by which light travels.
24. _____________ A cut piece of clear glass in the form of a triangle.
25. _____________ Band of color in a rainbow.
26. _______________ The bending of light as it passes from one transparent material
into another (think about a straw in a cup of water, it looks/appears bent).
27. _______________ The bouncing of light waves off a surface, such as a mirror
28. _______________ Curves inward.
29. _______________ Bulges outward.
30. _______________ is a form of energy that travels in waves and in straight lines
when it hits a flat object it bounces off.
31. _______________ something that uses electricity: tv, radio, computer, video
games, flashlight, etc.
32. _______________ A circuit with only one path and only one resistance
33. _______________ A circuit with more than one resistance but only one path
34. _______________ A circuit with two or more paths
35. _______________ Allows the current to flow through it (the light is on)
36. _______________ Does not allow the current to flow through it (the light is off)
37. _______________ Flowing electricity
38. _______________ The ability of an object to push or pull on another object with
magnetic properties.
39. _____________ An electric current that rapidly changes direction.
40. _____________ Is the lifting of an object by means of magnetic force.
