Science Concepts
These are science concepts that would be great to include in your science fair papers if they apply to your project:
Abiotic - something that is not alive
Absorption - light energy being transferred to objects they interact with
Acceleration - the rate at which velocity changes
Acid - a chemical that has a pH level of less than 7
Adaptation - a characteristic of an organism’s ability to change in order to survive in its environment
Archimedes’ principle - when an object is placed in a liquid, the liquid will displace an equal amount of fluid as the volume of the object
Atmospheric pressure - pressure on objects caused by the weight of the atmosphere
Base - a chemical that has a pH level of more than 7
Bernoulli’s principle - a moving fluid has less pressure than a stationary fluid; as the velocity of a fluid increases, the pressure of that fluid decreases
Biotic - something that is alive
Boiling - the change of state from a liquid to a gas throughout the liquid
Buoyant force - the force that a fluid will exert on an object within the fluid, pushing the object away from the fluid
Cerebellum - the part of the brain that keeps track of a body’s position
Cerebrum - the part of the brain that processes the senses, and controls voluntary movements and thoughts
Charles’ law - as the temperature of a gas increases, so does the volume of that gas
Chemical change - when one or more substances completely change into new substances with new properties
Chemical energy - the energy chemicals have because of their structure and ability to release energy when burned (like food being used by organisms)
Combustion - the process of burning
Controlled experiment - an experiment that tests only one factor at a time
Decibel - a unit to measure how loud different sounds are depending on pressure the sound waves cause
Density - the ratio of an objects mass and volume
Ecology - the study of the impact of interactions between organisms and their environment
Electricity - the energy of moving electrons which allows work to be done
Energy - the ability to do work
Force - a push or a pull exerted on an object
Friction - a force that opposes all motion because two surfaces are in contact
Gas - a form of matter without a definite shape or volume
Gravity - the force of attraction between objects due to their masses and the distance between them
Inertia - the tendency of an object to resist a change in motion
Innate behavior - a behavior that is influenced by genes and does not depend on the environment or on learning a skill
Kinetic energy - the energy of an object because of its motion
Law of conservation of energy - energy cannot be created or destroyed, but only transferred
Law of conservation of mass - mass cannot be created or destroyed in chemical or physical changes
Liquid - a state of matter with a definite volume but no definite shape
Machine - a device that makes work easier by changing the size or direction of a force
Malnutrition - a disorder resulting from not consuming the right combination of nutrients
Mass - the amount of matter in an object
Metabolism - a total of all the chemical processes that happen in an organism
Mineral - an element that is essential for good health
Newton’s 1st Law of Motion - objects at rest stay at rest, objects in motion stay in motion at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an outside force
Newton’s 2nd Law of Motion - the acceleration of an object depends on the object’s mass and the amount of force acting on the object (acceleration has a direct relationship with force and an inverse relationship with mass)
Newton’s 3rd Law of Motion - every action has an equal and opposite reaction
Nutrient - a substance that must be consumed or taken in by an organism to promote normal growth, maintenance, and repair
Pascal’s principle - within a fluid, equal force will be exerted in all directions
pH - a value that describes the chemical composition of a substance depending on its acidity or alkalinity
Placebo effect - a person’s attitude can affect an outcome; if a person takes a sugar pill thinking that it is medicine they might start feeling better just because they think they should be feeling better because they are taking medicine
Power - the rate at which work is done
Pressure - the amount of force exerted on a given amount of surface area
Projectile motion - the curved path of an object because of the force of gravity combining with the force of forward motion
Senses - ability for an organism to gather information about its environment using a central nervous system
Solid - the state of matter which has a definite shape and volume
Sound wave - waves that move through substances by vibrations and may be perceived by living organisms through hearing
Surface tension - the force of attraction at the surface of a liquid which minimizes the amount of surface area
Temperature - a measurement of the average kinetic energy of all the particles in an object
Viscosity - the resistance of flow in a fluid
Weight - a measurement of the gravitational force exerted on an object
Abiotic - something that is not alive
Absorption - light energy being transferred to objects they interact with

7th Science - Chapter 4 Test today
7th Religion - Discussion Questions over Hosea
3. To the people who knew him, Hosea was a visible example of God's grace. Think of someone who is this same kind of example. How does this person reflect God's mercy and love?
5. How could God use you to be a parable on his behalf? What might that assignment look like?
6. What is keeping you from stepping out in faith and taking on this challenge?

7th Religion - Solomon, questions 1, 4, & 6
1. God appeared to Solomon and invited him to ask for anything he wanted. What did the new king's response reveal about his character? What did the Lord's response reveal about God? (1 Kings 3:5-15)
4. Why do you think that Solomon acknowledged that God cannot be contained in a place despite clear evidence that God was dwelling in the temple he had built? (1 Kings 8:10-11, 28-30)
6. How can prosperity be dangerous to your spiritual health? (1 Kings 11:1-13)
