Solar Wind

Hot gas and electrically charged particle in sun’s layer continuedly stream into space and burst during solar eruption.

Bathes the solar system

Moon

Orbit all planet except mercury and venus

Make complete revolution every 27.5 days

Lunar Eclipse

Moon move into Earth’s shadow

Earth is between sun and moon

Solar eclipse

Earth in moon’s shadow

Move between earth and sun

Barometer

Measure atmospheric pressure

Anenometer

Measure wind speed and pressure

Front

When two different air mass meet, doesn’t mix but form boundary

Cold Front

Cold meet warm air, warm air pushed up to form cloud causing heavy rain

Warm front

When warm air meet cold, warm air pass over cold and form different cloud result in light rain

Scientific Method

Define problem, gather info, hypothesis, test, conclude

Fahrenheit

9/5 (C+32)

Kelvin

C+273.15

Geology

Study dynamic and physical history of earth

Ex: physical, chemical, and biological change

Meteorology

Study weather and predict

Chloroplast

Help plant make food

Hinge joint

Elbow and Knee

Ball and socket

Shoulder and hips

Pivot joint

Rotate one bone around and fit into a ring to form by another bone

Ex: Neck (Back and forth)

Fixed joint

Skull

Saddle

Bone move in oval position

Rotate thumb

Candyloid

Back and forth, side to side, range of movement

Ex: Making a fist

Gliding joint

Surface of two bone held by ligament

Ex: wrist and ankle

Ligament

connect muscle to bone

Vector

Disease carrying organism

Angiosperm

Flower plants, have vascular tissue (transport nutrients)

Bryophyte

No vascular system, reproduce by releasing spores

Fern

Vascular, don’t produce seed

Gymnosperm

Produce cone and seed, vascular

Atrium

Collect incoming blood

Ventricle

Pump out blood

O-

AB+
