sunlight
-contain chlorophyll
closed circuit - ANS-when all metal parts of a circuit are touching and the electrical charge is
able to continue to be transferred
comets - ANS-small icy objects traveling in an elongated, elliptical orbit around the sun
commensalism - ANS-relationship where one organism benefits and the other is neither
helped nor harmed
four life stages: the egg, the larva, the pupa, and the adult -Ex. butterflies & darkling beetles
(mealworms), frog
complex machine - ANS--two or more simple machines working together

compound - ANS--a molecule that contains at least two different elements
comprehension - Bloom's ANS-Level 2 -explain, restate, submit
conduction - ANS--process of transferring heat or electricity through a solid substance
consumers - ANS-animals that take energy from plants or other animals
, convection - ANS--flow of heat through the movement of liquid or gaseous matter from a hot
to a cool region
-warm air rises, cold air sinks
core - ANS-inner part of earth- a solid inner and an outer that is mostly liquid
crust - ANS-outer portion of earth where we live
decomposers - ANS-clean up the environment by freeing dead matter
density - ANS--mass that is contained in a unit of volume of a given substance
-a measure of how much matter can fit into a given space. -mass divided by volume
dew point - ANS-temperature at which the air needs to be for water to condense out of the
air in liquid form as precipitation
electric circuit - ANS--arranging an energy source and electrical devices so that all metal
parts are touching in a circle
electricity - ANS-flow of electrons, power, or charge
endothermic reaction - ANS-when heat is absorbed
energy - ANS-the ability to do work
eukaryotic cells - ANS--contain many organelles, separated by a membrane (nucleus,
mitochondria, chloroplasts, golgi apparatus)
evaluate - Bloom's ANS-Level 6 -decide, make a ruling, rank
exfoliation - ANS-occurs in places like the desert when the soil is exposed to high temps,
which causes soil to expand, then to cold temps, which makes the soil contract; outside layer
of rock peels off
exothermic reaction - ANS-when heat is given off
force - ANS-action of moving an object by pulling or pushing
fungi - ANS--multicellular organisms
-no chlorophyll- cannot produce food
