The lower the pitch
41
What Planets are rocky planet, which have thin atmospheres are closer to
The inner planets
42
Which Oregon store your memories is the control center for your body
Brain
43
What is an integral part of the water cycle 
Ocean
44
What does it mean to have a control group in an experiment and why is it important in an experiment?
A control group is necessary to confirm that it was only the one variable that we didn’t have in the control group that caused the change in the experiment 
45
Why is it important in an scientific experiment to complete true three or more trials?
It is important to make sure the experiment is accurate

50
What are the four forms of precipitation
Rain hail, snow sleet
51
What physical properties can we use to separate
Strainer and hot water
52
How can we classify STARZ in our galaxy
Stars are classified according to their temperature which can be determined because a star is apparent color depends on its surface temperature
53
What is photosynthesis and where on the plans does it take place?
They use the process of photosynthesis to transform water, sunlight, and carbon dioxide into oxygen and sugars that the plant uses as fuel. The photosynthesis takes place in specialized structures called chloroplasts. The leaves contain the majority of the chloroplast.
54

Measure air pressure
55
What is an anemometer used for?

What is in behavioral adaptation in animals?
Something that they already know how to do or have to learn to do

Common evidences of a chemical change include change of color or temperature the formation of a gas or a precipitate a physical change occurs when there is a change in physical properties of a substance, but not the chemical composition
78
What kind of statement is a hypothesis?
A hypothesis is a statement that can be proved or disprove. It is used in quantitative research and predict the relationship between variables.

Spores
91
Energy has the ability to cause what
Forces and movement
92
What causes the different seasons on earth?
The earths spin axis is tilted with respect to its orbital plane. This is what causes the seasons when the earths axis points towards the sun. It is summer for that hemisphere when the earths axis points away winter can be expected.
93
A larger forest is required to overcome the inertia of more massive or dense objects
Massive
94
Provide two examples of how energy can transfer to another type of energy
Nuclear to thermal potential to kinetic
95
Explain the similarities and differences of asteroids and comments
The main difference between astronauts and comments is their composition as in what they are made of asteroids are made up of metals and rocky material while comments are made up of ice dust and rocky material
96
What is the difference between revolved and rotate?
