Across
- 2. The types of plants, weather, and animals unique to a specific environment.
- 4. Point A property of matter; the point at which a solid turns into a liquid
- 5. The particles of this state of matter flow easily, move fairly quickly. This state of matter has a definite volume, but not a definite shape - it fills the container it's poured into.
- 9. How tightly packed something is
- 13. This body of water covers most of Earth's surface.
- 18. Chain A diagram that shows how energy flows through an ecosystem.
- 21. What makes up all living organisms.
- 25. The ability to do work
- 27. The particles of this state of matter are spaced out and move very fast. They do not have a definite shape or volume.
- 28. A huge mass of ice that moves slowly over land.
- 29. Characteristics of an object
- 31. A property of matter; how an object smells
- 32. These occur when tectonic plates slip and move past each other.
- 33. When a liquid turns into a gas
- 36. How much space is inside of an object (HxWxL)
- 37. Change A change in which two items are combined and a new item is created (Think of baking!)
- 38. The distance or how long an object is
- 40. Wind, water, ice, and other natural elements can cause this
- 42. Soil, rocks, concrete, and other objects belong to this sphere
- 43. This organism gets energy from sun and soil to create their own food
- 44. Change A change in which the object's physical features changes - but it remains the same object (Think: smashing Play-Doh)
- 45. All living things are part of this sphere.
- 46. Rivers, lakes, rain, puddles and other similar things belong to this sphere.
- 49. When a gas turns into a liquid
- 50. A property of matter; how much something can bend
- 52. A property of matter; how hard an object is
- 53. The living and nonliving things within an environment.
- 56. The process of wearing or being worn by long exposure to the atmosphere.
- 57. A small piece of matter that makes up everything
Down
- 1. These bodies of water are freshwater and lead to the ocean. They have an outlet.
- 3. A property of matter; the ability to attract metals
- 6. Cap A covering of ice over a large area
- 7. This organism breaks down dead organisms and returns the matter to the soil
- 8. A large amount of water that suddenly covers dry land or space.
- 10. A property of matter; the ability for a powder to be dissolved in a liquid
- 11. Cycle How water moves from one state of matter to another.
- 12. of Matter The idea that matter is constantly moving from one organism to another. It cannot be created or destroyed.
- 14. Anything that has mass or takes up space
- 15. These form in patterns at tectonic plate boundaries.
- 16. We need this sphere in order to breathe.
- 17. To mix two objects
- 19. This is the type of water found in all of Earth's oceans.
- 20. of Matter A law that states that matter or energy is neither created or destroyed - it just changes states.
- 22. Dioxide Producers use this to create oxygen.
- 23. Lake These bodies of water are freshwater and connected to rivers. They have an outlet.
- 24. The weight of an object
- 26. Water held underground in the soil or in rocks
- 30. This is the source of all energy
- 34. A living thing
- 35. Consumers use this to produce carbon dioxide.
- 39. A property of matter; how hot or cold an object is
- 41. A large, natural or artificial lake used as a source of water supply.
- 47. (Terminal) Lake This body of water is salt water and has no outlet.
- 48. of Living Things Sunlight, air, and water
- 51. This is the type of water found in rivers and open lakes.
- 54. This organism gets energy from eating other organisms.
- 55. The particles of this state of matter are densely packed and move slowly. They have a definite shape and volume.
