(2 marks) 1. Have you ever experienced an earthquake? If so, what did it feel like? My mom did. Firstly she felt Inaudible sound around the entire building, Entire building once. 2. Earthquakes are usually caused by the sudden movement of rocks along a fault, or fract...

Student Exploration: Longitudinal Waves Prior Knowledge Questions ​(Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo.) In many science fiction movies, an evil alien spaceship explodes with an enormous KABOOM!! Suppose you were floating in space at a safe distance from a large explosion such as the supernova at left. Do you think you would you hear anything? Explain. I don’t think so, I think the sound doesn’t have anything to vibrate to make the noise in space. Gizmo Warm-up No sounds can be heard in outer...

Student Exploration: Stoichiometry Directions: Follow the instructions to go through the simulation. Respond to the questions and prompts in the orange boxes. Vocabulary: Avogadro’s number, balan ced equation, cancel, coefficient, conversion factor, dimensional analysis, molar mass, mole, molecular mass, stoichiometry Prior Knowledge Questions (Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo.) 1. A 250 mL glass of orange juice contains 22 grams of sugar. How much sugar is in a two-liter (2,000 mL) bottle of o...

Student Exploration: Convection Cells Vocabulary: convection, convection cell, density, global conveyor belt, mantle, mid-ocean ridge, subduction zone, vector, viscosity Prior Knowledge Questions (Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo.) You place a pot of soup on the stove. As the soup warms you notice some areas where soup is rising up and other areas where soup is sinking down. 1. Why do you think some of the soup is rising up? Because the soup became warm and less dense, so it rose up. 2. ...

. In ΔABC, BC is the opposite leg because it is opposite A. A. What are the lengths of each side? AC = BC = AB = B. When mA = 30°, what is the ratio of BC to AB? C. Drag point C to the left. Notice that mA stays the same, so the new triangle is similar to the original. For two different positions of point C, record BC, AB, and AB BC . Position 1 Position 2 BC AB AB BC BC AB AB BC What do you notice? 2. Drag point C all the way to the right so that the length of the hyp...

Vocabulary​:​ DNA polymerase, DNA profiling, gel electrophoresis, gene, mutation, non-coding region, polymerase chain reaction, primer, short tandem repeat Prior Knowledge Questions ​(Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo.) In 1985, Darryl Hunt was convicted of murder. While Hunt was in jail, a new method for analyzing DNA evidence was invented. The DNA evidence on the victim did not match Hunt’s DNA but did match that of another prisoner. After 19 years spent behind bars, Hunt was finall...

Student Exploration: Calorimetry Lab Vocabulary: calorie, calorimeter, joule, specific heat capacity Prior Knowledge Questions (Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo.) 1. The Latin word calor means “heat,” and meter comes from the Greek word meaning “to measure.” What do you think a calorimeter does? ________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________ 2. Where have you heard the word calorie before? What do you think a calorie is? __...

Student Exploration: Free-Fall Laboratory Vocabulary: acceleration, air resistance, free fall, instantaneous velocity, terminal velocity, velocity, vacuum Prior Knowledge Questions (Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo.) 1. Suppose you dropped a feather and a hammer at the same time. Which object would hit the ground first? I believe the hammer falls faster since it weighs more. 2. Imagine repeating the experiment in an airless tube, or vacuum. Would this change the result? If so, how? The res...
