Science EQT Review

1. Science EQT Review First Quarter

2. Gold is considered an ______ because it is made of only one type of atom. • The ______, the ______, and the ______ are the three types of particles within an atom. • An ______ is considered to be the “basic building block of matter.” • Particles in matter are always moving. When the temperature outside drops, the particles in matter begin to move ______ because it is colder outside. • A parachute jumper jumps from an airplane and falls very fast until his parachute opens. As the parachute opens, ______ ______ cause the jumper to slow down as he falls.

3. Gold is considered an element because it is made of only one type of atom. • The proton, the electron, and the neutron are the three types of particles within an atom. • An atom is considered to be the “basic building block of matter.” • Particles in matter are always moving. When the temperature outside drops, the particles in matter begin to move slower because it is colder outside. • A parachute jumper jumps from an airplane and falls very fast until his parachute opens. As the parachute opens, air resistance cause the jumper to slow down as he falls.

4. The force of ______ is the force that prevents objects on or close to Earth from getting “lost in Space” such as the Space Station, space shuttles, or airplanes. • If you traveled to the moon, you would weigh ______ than you weigh on Earth because of microgravity effects on the moon. • Jupiter’s inner moons will be most affected by ______ and ______. • A famous scientist named Isaac ______ explained the Law of Universal Gravitation. He explained that “all objects in the universe are attracted to each other.” • The force of _____ would be the force that would cause any object to fall.

5. The force of gravity is the force that prevents objects on or close to Earth from getting “lost in Space” such as the Space Station, space shuttles, or airplanes. • If you traveled to the moon, you would weigh less than you weigh on Earth because of microgravity effects on the moon. • Jupiter’s inner moons will be most affected by size (mass) and distance. • A famous scientist named Isaac Newton explained the Law of Universal Gravitation. He explained that “all objects in the universe are attracted to each other.” • The force of gravity would be the force that would cause any object to fall.

6. The “amount of matter in an object” is called its ______. • The true measure of weight is measured with a ______ ______. • An object with more surface area that is falling will experience ______ air resistance than an object with less surface area. • When measuring mass, we use a scientific tool called a ______. • A scientific tool called a ______ ______ is used to measure volume by analyzing the water displacement.

7. The “amount of matter in an object” is called its mass. • The true measure of weight is measured with a spring scale. • An object with more surface area that is falling will experience more air resistance than an object with less surface area. • When measuring mass, we use a scientific tool called a balance. • A scientific tool called a graduated cylinder is used to measure volume by analyzing the water displacement.

8. Two objects of the exact same size and shape are dropped into water. One floats but the other sinks. The object that is ______ ______ will float.

9. Two objects of the exact same size and shape are dropped into water. One floats but the other sinks. The object that is less dense will float.
