* *B is f o r biotic. Draw a detailed scene of an animal in its NATURAL habitat. Identify all biotic and abiotic factors in the scene. Explain the difference between biotic and abiotic factors.

C is f o r circuit. Draw and label a complete circuit. Explain how the circuit works. Define and give one example of an electrical conductor and an electrical insulator.

D is f o r density. Explain the relationship between density and the temperature of water molecules. Using water molecules, illustrate the 3 states of matter. Explain and illustrate density currents in the ocean. What is salinity? How does it affect water density?

E is f o r eclipse. Define and illustrate a solar eclipse (include the Earth & Sun in illustration). Define and illustrate a lunar eclipse (include the Earth & Sun in illustration). Which eclipse occurs more often? Why? Solar and lunar eclipses only occur during certain moon phases. Which ones and Why?

* *F is f o r food chains. Define ecosystem. Describe how food chains work. Draw and label the organisms in a sample food chain. It must include a producer, two consumers, and a decomposer. Be sure to include the most important component of a food chain. Complete this sentence, All food chains start with the _________, which is the source of almost all life on Earth.

G is f o r galaxy. Our solar system is a part of the Milky Way galaxy. What type of galaxy is the Milky Way? Define and illustrate the following objects that are found in our solar system: comet, asteroid, meteoroid, meteor, and meteorite H is f o r how tides form. The rise and fall in sea level is called a tide. What causes there to be two high tides and two low tides daily? Draw the Sun, Moon, and Earth in the proper alignment to illustrate high and low tides. Also, illustrate and explain the difference between and Spring Tide and Neap Tide. I is f o r investigation. Scientists use the Scientific Method while performing experiments. Identify the correct steps of the Scientific Method while describing (in detail) and illustrating a simple experiment.

J is for Jumping According to the Law of Conservation of Energy, energy can never be created nor destroyed, but only can be changed from one form to another. Jumping is an energy transformation (potential to kinetic). There are 4 other types of energy (chemical, thermal, radiant, electrical, and nuclear) that we’ve discussed. Pick 2-‐3 types of energy,.

You must describe and illustrate the transformation from one to the other. Be sure to include an arrow between the transformations!

K is f o r kinds o f w e a t h e r f r o n t s . D r a w t h e s y m b o l s f o r a c o l d f r o n t , w a r m f r o n t , s t a t i o n a r y f r o n t , a n d a n o c c l u d e d f r o n t .

L is f o r life cycles o f stars. Stars are classified by their magnitude (brightness) and temperature. Define apparent magnitude and absolute magnitude. Correctly draw (in appropriate colors) and explain the H-‐R Diagram. How does our Sun compare to other stars in our sky? Do stars burn because of nuclear fission or fusion?

M is f o r moon phases. There are 8 main moon phases. Illustrate and label the moon phases, going in order, around the Earth, starting with New Moon (include the Sun and Earth in your diagram). How long does is take for the moon to complete its cycle of phases? What does is mean when a moon is waxing? What does is mean when a moon is waning? N is f o r natural resources. List three of Earth’s natural renewable resources and three natural non-‐ renewable resources. Define renewable resources and non-‐renewable resources. Illustrate and label your examples.

O is for orbit. Define and illustrate Earth’s rotation. How long does it take Earth to complete one rotation? Define and illustrate Earth’s revolution. How long does it take Earth to complete one revolution? Include the following sentence: The scientific shape of Earth’s orbit around the Sun is _________

* *O2 is f o r omnivore Define, illustrate and describe adaptations for survival used by an herbivore, carnivore, and omnivore. Your illustrations should include an example of each -‐vore.

* * P is f o r photosynthesis. Define photosynthesis. Why is photosynthesis important to a producer? What kind of energy conversion takes place during photosynthesis? Draw and label 2 objects that require photosynthesis in order to live.

Q is f o r questions-‐ What is assistive technology? Technology developed to help organisms, but DOES NOT change them. What is adaptive technology? Technology developed to help living organisms and DOES change them. Write the questions and answers for both technologies above and give an example and of each. Give a description and labeled illustration of both examples and how this helps or changes the organism. * *R is f o r relationships. Any close relationship between species is called symbiosis. Define and illustrate the three types of symbiotic relationships (mutualism, commensalism, and parasitism). Explain why each illustration you drew demonstrates that particular symbiotic relationship. S is f o r seasons. What causes Earth’s seasons? Draw a diagram of Earth, in an elliptical orbit, in the four seasonal positions around the Sun for the Northern Hemisphere. Include the following: proper tilt, both solstices (with approximate date), both equinoxes (with approx. date), and your birthday (with date) T is f o r transferring heat energy. Define and illustrate conduction, convection, and radiation. Explain how each illustration shows heat transfer. U is f o r umbrella. Different tools are used for measuring weather conditions. Draw and label six weather tools. Identify what each tool measures. Complete the following sentence: A _______________ is the scientific name for a person who studies weather .

U is for umbrella.

Different tools are used for measuring weather conditions. Draw and label six weather tools. Identify what each tool measures. Define the scientific name for a person who studies weather.

V is f o r variables Define independent and dependent variables. Identify the IV and DV from the following scenario: The Mythbusters confirmed that a working boat can be made entirely of duct tape. Here’s the hypothesis—If we build an entire boat out of duct tape to proper specifications, then the boat will survive 4-‐foot waves.

Include an illustration related to the scenario. W is f o r water vapor. (THINK: Rise Expand Cool Condense) Describe and illustrate the difference between warm air molecules and cool air molecules. Which “air” can hold more water molecules? Label all parts of your illustrations. How does air pressure relate to the amount of water molecules in the air? What is humidity and how does it relate?

Science ABC Book Guidelines This is a project in which you will create an ABC book using science vocabulary. Each letter of the alphabet has already been assigned a word or groups of words.

• Each page must include the words given for that page and full a color illustration of the assigned word or words. Words, definitions, and explanations must be typed on the Keynote platform.

• Each page MUST have your initials on the bottom right hand corner.

• You may use the on-line science book, your notes, dictionaries, or the internet for guidance. However, you may not copy and paste definitions or explanations from the internet to your key note. It must be in your own words.

• - Each page MUST include an illustration. The illustrations must be pictures you have colored and illustrated yourself on the Notes app (NO CLIPART OR PICTURES FROM THE INTERNET) You must attach pictures to the Keynote platform.

• - Your completed work must be submitted on Schoology. • -You must have a title page that includes the title of your review

book, a graphic (the only clipart allowed), your name, and class period.

• A Table of Contents must follow the title page. Science ABC Book Checklist

• Did I include the science word(s)? • Did I answer all of the questions (in complete sentences) for the

letter? • Did I illustrate the assigned letter using the full page? • Is my illustration in the appropriate colors? • Does my page show careful planning? • Does my page show extreme effort on my part? • Are all the words spelled correctly? • Did I write in complete sentences and it is clearly written to

explain the science letter/concept?
