Front

What is longitude?

Back

Longitude is the measurement of distance east or west of the Prime Meridian, expressed in degrees.

Front

What is latitude?

Back

Latitude is the measurement of distance north or south of the Equator, expressed in degrees.

Front

What is a beaver lodge?

Back

A beaver lodge is a home built by beavers in a stream or river, often made of sticks and mud.

Front

What happens to an ecosystem when beavers are removed?

Back

The water used by plants on the banks of the stream would be reduced as the stream water moves more quickly through the ecosystem.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the stored energy an object has due to its position or state.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy an object has due to its motion.

Front

How does the angle of a tube affect a ball's speed?

Back

The angle of the tube can affect the potential energy of the ball, which influences its speed when it exits the tube.

Front

What is thermal energy?

Back

Thermal energy is the energy that comes from the temperature of matter, often produced by the movement of particles.

Front

What is the difference between objects that use electricity and those that use stored energy to produce thermal energy?

Back

Objects that use electricity need to be plugged in, while those that use stored energy can produce thermal energy without being plugged in.

Front

What is an ecosystem?

Back

An ecosystem is a community of living organisms and their interactions with their environment.
