  2. In North Carolina, the longest period of daylight occurs during which month? June March December September

  3. A. June North Carolina is located in the Northern Hemisphere which receives its most direct rays from the sun during the month of June usually around June 23, when we have our summer solstice.

  4. Sleet, rain, snow, and hail are all forms of _____________. Erosion Evaporation Groundwater Precipitation

  5. D. Precipitation Precipitation returns to Earth in many forms depending upon the temperature and other atmospheric conditions.

  6. Water freezing is an example of __________________. Liquid changing to a solid Solid changing into a liquid Gas changing to a solid Gas changing to liquid

  7. A. Liquid changing to a Solid When the temperature of water falls below 32 degrees Fahrenheit or 0 degrees Celsius, it changes from a liquid to a solid. Image from: http://www.vims.edu/bio/microbial/Ice20.jpg

  8. Which process caused the rainwater in the street to disappear on a hot sunny day? Condensation Evaporation Precipitation Erosion

  9. B. Evaporation Radiant heat energy from the sun provides the heat energy necessary to change water from its liquid state to its vapor form.

  10. Which of the following instruments are not used by meteorologists to measure the changes in the weather? Barometer Humiditer Thermometer D. Anemometer

  11. C. Humiditer (totally made up) Accurate weather forecasting is directly related to the speed at which large amounts of data can be collected and analyzed. Meteorologists use thermometers to measure air temperature, barometers to measure air pressure, psychrometers to measure relative humidity of the air, and anemometers to measure wind speed and direction.

  12. What type of force makes a car roll down a ramp?

  13. Gravity Gravity is an invisible force that pulls everything towards the earth. No matter how hard an object is thrown it starts to come back down to earth. This is an example of gravity at work. Gravity pulls everything down with the same force. It doesn't matter how heavy or how light the object is. It is the same for all objects. http://www.k12.hi.us/~kapunaha/student_projects/BoxCarPhysics/gravity/gravity.htm

  14. Mr. Big Stuff and Mr. Spor-T are playing tug-of- war with a rope. Mr. Big Stuff pulls twice as hard on the rope and creates an unbalanced force. What will happen to the rope? Which direction will it go? Image from: http://www.usoe.k12.ut.us/curr/science/sciber00/8th/forces/images/tug.gif

  15. The unbalanced force will go to the stronger side, Mr. Big Stuff, of course. Unbalanced forces always cause a change in motion. They are not equal and opposite.

  16. What is friction?

  17. When two surfaces rub together heat energy is produced. Heat energy is caused by the motion of particles that make up matter. When you rub your hands together you convert mechanical energy into heat energy.

  18. What is the definition of potential energy?

  19. Potential Energy is Stored Energy. Kinetic Energy is energy of movement. Image from: http://www.explainthatstuff.com/yoyoenergy.gif

  20. Road workers just paved a street by Mike’s house. What effect will the smooth surface have on Mike’s skateboard? Less Friction Less Momentum More Inertia More Surface Area Image from:http://www.nih.gov/news/research_matters/september2006/images/skateboard_l.gif

  21. A. Less Friction Friction is a force that both resists motion and makes movement possible. Friction is the resisting force when two materials slide across each other. The types of materials affect the amount of frictional force.

  22. How might ice change rocks into soil? Freezing water covers rocks and makes soil. Rocks covered in ice move underneath the loose soil. Rocks are too hard to ever break apart and become soil. Water freezing and expanding breaks rocks into soil.

  23. D. Water freezing and expanding breaks rocks into soil. Image from: http://www.tutorialsolutions.com/frostwedging.gif

  24. How does gravity affect water flowing in the stream table model? Gravity does not affect the model. Gravity pulls water to the top of the slope. Gravity causes water to flow from a high place to a lower place. Gravity causes water to flow to the outside edges of the model.

  25. C. Gravity causes water to flow from a high place to a lower place. Image from: http://www.nsrconline.org/images/LAN.gif

  26. Students made a model of a neighborhood park. The distances in the model are to scale. In the model, the picnic table is 12 cm away from the tree swing. One cm is equal to 3 meters. In the neighborhood park, what is the distance from the table to the swing?

  27. X = 36 m 1 cm/12 cm = 3 m/ x meters 1 cm/12 cm = 3 m/ 36 m X = variable

  28. Students pour 1 liter of water in the cup. What best describes how the stream table changes when water is added to this system?A. Stream beds form in the soil.B. Water runs over the top of the soil.C. Water covers every surface.D. No changes, the soil is packed down.

  29. A • Stream beds form in the soil.

  30. How would you expect large amounts of water to flow in a steep stream bed?A. Quickly, protecting the stream banks.B. Quickly, eroding the stream banks.C. Slowly, carrying large particles of soil.D. Slowly, eroding the stream banks.

  31. B. Quickly, eroding the stream banks. Image from: http://www.crjc.org/images/erosionMartinFarm.gif

  32. When you push or pull a wagon you make a _______________ act on the wagon. Image from: http://www.brooklawnsa.com/events/bignight/images/wagon.gif

  33. FORCE A force is a push or pull upon an object resulting from the object's interaction with another object. Whenever there is an interaction between two objects, there is a force upon each of the objects.

  34. Which word fits this definition? The rate at which an object covers a distance. Velocity Speed Point of reference Gravity

  35. B. SPEED  Speed = Distance Time

  36. Which of the following variables do not influence weather and climate? Latitude Attitude Elevation Living near the beach

  37. B. Attitude has nothing to do with weather systems and climate. Weather systems and climate respond to the location’s: Latitude Altitude Proximity or how close it is to large bodies of water Ocean currents can be warm or cool and affect the air temperature above it. Prevailing winds -sea or land breezes Topography

  38. The four major components to the water cycle are: Evaporation, Condensation, Precipitation, Run-off Evaporation, Condensation, Atmosphere, and Run-off Evaporation, Temperature, Precipitation, and Run-off Evaporation, Temperature, Atmosphere, and Run-away

  39. Evaporation, Condensation, Precipitation, and Run-off Image from: http://www.atmos.uiuc.edu/earths_atmosphere/images/water_cycle/hydrologic_cycle2.jpg

  40. When you are looking at maps, what type of map indicates changes in the elevation of the land? Scale maps Topographic maps Climate maps Street maps

  41. B. Topographic Maps Image from: www.blm.gov/education/ gisactivity/map.jpg

  42. Mr. Collin’s grandmother is coming to live with him. His grandmother has trouble walking up stairs. What Simple Machine is the easiest to help grandma around Mr. Collin's house? Pulley Ramp Pulley Hinge

  43. B. Ramp A ramp is also called an inclined plane. By rolling an object up a hill or a ramp, you require less strength than required to pick the object up the same height, but you compensate by traveling a greater distance.

  44. Which shopping cart requires more force to move? A or B. Explain your answer. B. Full Shopping cart A. Empty Shopping Cart

  45. The one with the higher ‘load’ or weight requires more force to move it. B. Full Shopping Cart

  46. Give an example of a type of producer.

  47. Plant Primary producers like plants make their own food by doing something called photosynthesis.

  48. What type of animal only eats plants and vegetables? Carnivore Herbivore Omnivore Hungry

  49. B. Herbivore Plant-eating animals are called herbivores.

  50. Create a food chain from the following living things. Explain how you selected your sequence. Snake Corn Hawk Mouse
