A 100 Minerals are made of only one element. Rocks are made of more than one mineral. A 100 How are rocks categorized? A 200 Rocks are categorized by the way they are formed. A 200 What are the three types of rocks? A 300 Metamorphic, Igneous, and Sedimentary A 300 What physical attributes do we usei to identify rocks and minerals? A 400 Color, Hardness, Texture/Shape, Cleavage, Luster A 400 Name at least 2 tests you can do on a rock to identify it. A 500 Scratch Test, Streak Test, Acid Test, Color Identification A 500 What is soil made of? B 100 Weathered rock, humus (dead plants and animals), air, and water B 100 What natural forces form soil? B 200 Weathering (breaks down rocks and dead plants and animals) Erosion (washes away the sediments) Wind, water, ice, etc. B 200 Name 2 types of soils. B 300 Body Fossils Trace Fossils Imprints Amber Bones Cast/Mold B 300 Explain why a fossil is mainly found in sedimentary rock. B 400 When igneous and metamorphic rocks form the heat and pressure destroy the fossils. The layers of soil that harden around fossils in sedimentary rocks allow the fossils to form. B 400 Describe the different types of soil… Clay Sand Loam Silt B 500 Clay – small particles, holds lots of water – sticky, some humus Loam – medium particles, holds water but drains well, rich with nutrients from humus Sand – large particles, does not hold water well – very little humus Silt – very small particles, smooth, dusty B 500 What is the primary source of heat energy? C 100 The sun C 100 Name the 3 ways heat travels. C 200 Radiation – through waves Convection – through air and liquids Conduction – through touching C 200 Name 3 ways heat is produced. C 300 Friction, Mixing Chemicals, Burning Things C 300 How do insulators affect heat? Name at least one example. C 400 Insulators keep hot things hot and cold things cold. They do not allow heat to travel through them. C 400 What is a conductor? Name one example. C 500 Conductors allow heat to travel through them easily. C 500 Magnets are attracted to what type of material? D 100 Iron, steel, or nickel D 100 What does it mean for two magnets to repel each other? D 200 They are pushing each other away. D 200 What does it mean for a magnets to attract? D 300 They are pulling toward each other. D 300 Identify whether these two magnets are attracting or repelling. How do you know? D 400 They are attracting because opposites attract. A north and south are attracting. D 400 Describe the magnetic field of a magnet. D 500 The magnetic field is the area around the magnet where a piece of iron, steel, or nickel will be attracted to the magnet. D 500 Name the 5 regions of Georgia. E 100 Mountain Piedmont Coastal Plain Swamp/Marsh Ocean/Coast E 100 Name one feature of green plants that allows them to live and thrive in different regions of Georgia. E 200 Answers may vary. E 200 Name one feature of animals that allow them to live and thrive in the mountain region. E 300 Answers may vary. E 300 Name one adaptation of animals that allow them to gather food. Identify if it is a physical adaptation or a behavioral one. E 400 Answers may vary. E 400 What will happen if an animal’s habitat is changed? E 500 It will die. It will move. It will build a new home. It will take over another habitat. E 500 Name 3 types of natural forces that might destroy an animal’s habitat. F 100 Flooding Fire Tornado Hurricane Drought Earthquake Volcano F 100 What are three ways to conserve resources? F 200 Reduce, Reuse, Recycle F 200 Describe pollution. F 300 Pollution destroys the habitat of animals. It can cause poison which hurts the animals. F 300 Name 3 ways to conserve resources. F 400 Reduce, Reuse, Recycle F 400 Describe an example of conserving resources. F 500 Answers may vary related to reducing, reusing, and recycling. F 500 Thank You for Playing Science Jeopardy!
