Planets in order

My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Noodles
(Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune)

Which planets have rings

Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune

Which planet has a very large Storm

Jupiter

Which planet is considered earth sister

Venus

Which planet is known as the red planet

Mars

Which planet looks blue? Why?

Neptune because it contains methane gas

Which plants have natural satellites?

• Earth — 1 moon

• Mars — 2 moons

• Jupiter — many moons

• Saturn — many moons

• Uranus — many moons

• Neptune — many moons

What is earth’s natural satellite?

The moon

What are examples of artificial satellites?

ISS, gps satellites, Communication satellites

Where is and what happened to poor Pluto?

Pluto meets the first two requirements but not the third, so it was reclassified as a dwarf planet. It’s still there just orbits the sun

What are dwarf planets?

Dwarf planets are objects in space that are like small planets, but they don’t fully meet all the rules to be a planet.

How many dwarf planets are there? Name them

5 and

Pluto

• Ceres

• Eris

• Haumea

• Makemake

What are the requirements to be a planet?

Round, orbit, the sun, and cleared it’s Neighbourhood

Inner planets versus outer planets

• Inner = small, rocky, close to Sun

• Outer = big, gassy/icy, far from Sun

Terrestrial plants versus gaseous plants

Terrestrial planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) are small, rocky, and have solid surfaces.

Gaseous planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) are large, made of gas or ice, and have no solid surface.

Asteroid belt, Where is it and what is it made of?

The asteroid belt is like a ring of space rocks orbiting between Mars and Jupiter.

Other objects in the solar system

The Solar System is made of the Sun, planets, moons, dwarf planets, asteroids, comets, and meteoroids.

The difference between comets, meteors, asteroids, and meteorites

• Asteroid = rock in space

• Comet = icy rock with a tail

• Meteor = streak of light in the sky

• Meteorite = rock that hits the ground

What does ISS stand for?

International space station

Where is the ISS? How high is it? How fast does it move?

t orbits Earth in low Earth orbit, circling our planet continuously. It is 400km up. It moves about 28 000km/h

How long does it take the ISS to circle the Earth?

90 minutes

Name three countries that use ISS

Canada, Russia, United States

Three Canadian astronauts

• Chris Hadfield

• David Saint-Jacques

• Jeremy Hansen

Can we see the ISS from earth

Yes

What does it look like from earth

A fast moving star

What did they do in the ISS?

The ISS is like a floating science lab in space where astronauts live and work

Lifecycle of a star

Nebula → Main sequence → Red giant → (white dwarf OR supernova → neutron star/black hole)

M what does Beetlejuice and why is it exciting right now?

etelgeuse is a giant dying star that could explode someday, and we can see it in the night sky in Orion.

What is a conductor?

A conductor is a material that lets electricity or heat pass through it easily.

What is an insulator?

An insulator is a material that does not let electricity or heat pass through it easily.

Give three examples of each one

⚡ Conductors (let electricity/heat flow easily)

• Copper

• Aluminum

• Gold

🚫 Insulators (block electricity/heat)

• Rubber

• Plastic

• Glass

What is the difference between static and current electricity

• Static = stuck electricity (stays still)

• Current = moving electricity (flows in a loop)

Two examples of static and current electricity

⚡ Static electricity (charge builds up and stays still)

• Rubbing a balloon on your hair and it sticks 🎈

• Getting a small shock from a doorknob 🚪

🔌 Current electricity (electricity flowing in a circuit)

• A flashlight turning on 🔦

• Charging a phone

The structure of an atom, it’s parts and the changes

An atom is made of protons (+), neutrons (0), and electrons (–), and it can change by gaining/losing electrons or changing its nucleus.

The law of attraction and a lot of repulsion

• Opposites attract ❤

• Likes repel

What is lightning?

Lightning ⚡ is a huge electric spark in the sky that happens during a thunderstorm.

What is the purpose of a lightning rod?

A lightning rod ⚡ is a metal rod placed on top of buildings to protect them from lightning strikes.

Explain clearly why a balloon rubbed with fabric will produce static electricity, but a metal bar rubbed with fabric will not

When you rub a balloon with fabric, static electricity builds up because the balloon is an insulator.

What is a series circuit?

A series circuit is a type of electrical circuit where all the parts are connected in one single path

The triboelectric series what is it how to use it?

The triboelectric series is a list of materials ranked by how easily they gain or lose electrons when rubbed together

What is a parallel circuit? How are they same and how are They Different

A series circuit and a parallel circuit are two ways to connect electrical components.

Why are newer Christmas lights connected in parallel rather than series

New Christmas lights are connected in parallel instead of series because it makes them more reliable and brighter.

What is voltage current and resistance?

• Voltage = push 🔋

• Current = flow 🔌

• Resistance = resistance 🚧

Proton, neutron and electron mass

P=1 N=1 E=0

Where are protons Found

In the nucleus

Where are electrons found?

Outside the nucleus

Where are neutrons found

In the nucleus
