$100 Question from H1
What is a revolution?
$100 Answer from H1
One full orbit around another
object. It takes 365 days for the
earth to revolve around the sun.
$200 Question from H1
What is the axis?
$200 Answer from H1
An imaginary line that runs
through the center of a
spinning object. The earth is
tilted on it’s axis.
$300 Question from H1
What is rotation?
$300 Answer from H1
One full spin on an axis. It
takes the earth 24 hours to
make one rotation.
$400 Question from H1
What happens to the force of
gravity between two objects that
are moving farther apart?
$400 Answer from H1
When two objects move
further apart the force of
gravity decreases.
$500 Question from H1
What two things affect the force
of gravity?
$500 Answer from H1
Mass and distance.
$100 Question from H2
Our sun is our main source of …
$100 Answer from H2
Heat & Light
$200 Question from H2
Name three things our sun is
OTHER THAN our main source
of _____ & ______.
$200 Answer from H2
A star; the center of our solar
system; a burning ball of gas; the
largest, brightest, and hottest object
in our solar system.
$300 Question from H2
Explain how can we see the moon
in the night and daytime sky?
$300 Answer from H2
We see it because it reflects light
from the sun. The moon does not
give off its own light or heat.
$400 Question from H2
Which phase is the moon in that we
see no reflection, even though the
sun is shining on it.
$400 Answer from H2
New moon
$500 Question from H2
Which phase would follow the last one shown
here?
$500 Answer from H2
$100 Question from H3
What is weathering?
$100 Answer from H3
The breaking down of rocks by
water, wind or ice.
$200 Question from H3
Describe what happens to rocks and
mountains when water freezes inside
cracks?
$200 Answer from H3
The water seeps down into the
cracks and then freezes during the
cold winter months causing the ice to
expand and force the rock apart.
This is one type of weathering.
$300 Question from H3
What is erosion?
$300 Answer from H3
The moving of rock or soil from
one place to another by water,
wind or ice.
$400 Question from H3
How do rivers shape the land?
$400 Answer from H3
They carry debris, soil and rock
from the banks from upstream to
downstream. They carve out the
land. A famous example would
be the Grand Canyon.
$500 Question from H3
List, in order, the events of
the water cycle beginning
with the sun’s energy heating
up water on earth.
$500 Answer from H3
The sun’s energy heats up the water on earth
Causing it to 1.) Evaporate, changing from a liquid to a
gas. It rises up into the earth’s atmosphere. The higher it
goes the colder it gets and begins to 2.) Condense,
changing back from a gas to a liquid. This is when clouds
form. When the cloud becomes saturated water will fall in
some form of 3.) Precipitation; water, snow, sleet, or
hail; depending on the temperature. After hitting the
ground some water will run across the land as
4.) Run-off and some will seep or Infiltrate into the
ground
$100 Question from H4
What is adaptation?
$100 Answer from H4
A body part (structure) or a
behavior that help plants and
animals survive in their
environment.
$200 Question from H4
How are gills similar to lungs?
$200 Answer from H4
They both filter oxygen for an
animal. Gills filter oxygen from
water and lungs from air.
$300 Question from H4
Why do ducks have webbed feet?
$300 Answer from H4
For propelling them forward while
swimming and to keep them from
sinking in the mud on lake, river, and
pond banks.
$400 Question from H4
Name three characteristics that
can be used to identify an
amphibian.
$400 Answer from H4
1. Smooth, moist skin
2. Lay eggs
3. Live part of life in water/part on land
4. Have gills when born and develop lungs for
land
$500 Question from H4
Name 3 adaptations of a
predator and describe their
function.
$500 Answer from H4
1. Sharp teeth or beak for
ripping and tearing meat
2. Eyes in the front of the head
for stalking prey
3. Strong jaw for taking down
prey and crushing bones
$100 Question from H5
Name three rapid changes to
the earth’s surface.
$100 Answer from H5
earthquakes move the land and
create cracks in the crust
landslides carry rock and soil
down hillsides when there is lots
of rainfall that saturates the soil
volcanoes create new land
tsunami can reshape coastal areas
construction, mining, or logging (man
can sometimes make the biggest
change in the earth’s surface)
$200 Question from H5
Name three slow/gradual changes
to the earth’s surface.
$200 Answer from H5
plate tectonics – plate can move 1-10
centimeters per year
rivers and streams erode banks
slow precipitation causing runoff
$300 Question from H5
Draw and label the layers of the
earth on the white board.
$300 Answer from H5
$400 Question from H5
Name the three types of rocks in
the rock cycle.
$400 Answer from H5
Sedimentary, Igneous and
Metamorphic
$500 Question from H5
During the shifting of plates in
earth’s crust and upper mantle they
can move in three ways. Name
these ways and describe their
effects.
$500 Answer from H5
1.The plates can collide (convergent
boundaries) into each other wrinkling up the
land forming mountains or one could slide
under another possibly causing a volcano.
2. Plates can move away from each other
(divergent boundaries) and cause rifts or
spreading; magma can rise through the
cracks in the crust and form more land.
3. Plates can slide past one another
(transform faults) and as they crash and
grind past each other, there are many
earthquakes.
