Mass: A measure of the atoms in an object. 
Volume: The amount of space inside of an object. 
Weight: Force of gravity on an object. 
Solid: fixed shape and fixed volume
Liquid: A substance that flows freely but still has a constant volume. 
Gas: An air type of fluid that expands freely to fill a space. 
Evaporation: A liquid changing to a gas state due to temperature or pressure. 
Condensation: Water that collects as droplets on a cold surface when hot air is in contact with. 
Melting: Become a liquid by heat
Freezing: When a liquid turns into a solid by cold temperature.

The cells are the basic unit of structure, in all organisms. 
Prokaryotic Cells: They are unicellular organisms that don't have organelles, a cell membrane, or a nucleus. 
Eukaryotic Cells: They can be unicellular or multi cellular. They have a nucleus and other organelles enclosed within membranes. 
In some ways plant and animal cells are similar but in other ways they are different. 
Plant cells- eukaryotic cells, chloroplasts, cell wall, very large vacuoles, nucleus, mitochondria,
Animal cells- very small vacuoles, eukaryotic cells, nucleus, mitochondria, ]]> 2017-06-07 20:38:35 UTC https://padlet.com/sowell30/mjeud301je0o/wish/175631419 Ecosystems sowell30 https://padlet.com/sowell30/mjeud301je0o/wish/175635632 Biotic Factors: The parts of an ecosystem that are not alive. 
Abiotic Factors: The non-living parts of an environment.
Organism: An individual animal, plant, or single-celled life form. 
Population: An interacting group of species in a common location. 
Mutualism: symbiosis that is good for both organisms that are involved. 
Commensalism: When one organism benefits from the other, without affecting it. 
Parasitism: When one organism, (the parasite)  benefits and the other organism is harmed. ]]> 2017-06-07 21:29:25 UTC https://padlet.com/sowell30/mjeud301je0o/wish/175635632 Food Chains & Food Webs sowell30 https://padlet.com/sowell30/mjeud301je0o/wish/175799773 Food Chain: When each living thing gets food. Nutrients and energy are passed from creature to creature. Food chains begin with plant-life, and end with animal-life. Some animals eat plants, some animals eat other animals. 
Food Web: Basically food webs represent feeding relationships within a community.  It also shows the transfer of food energy from its source in plants through herbivores to carnivores. 
Producer: An organism that serves as a source of food for other organisms in a food chain. Producers include green plants, which produce food through photosynthesis. 
Decomposer: An organism, especially a soil bacteria, fungus, or invertebrate, that decomposes organic materials. 
Consumer: Herbivores that feed on green plants that feed on decaying matter are called primary consumers. Carnivores that feed on herbivores are called secondary consumers.  while those that feed on other carnivores are called tertiary consumers.

Basically any kind of weather condition where something's falling from the sky. 
Condensation: Water that collects as droplets on a cold surface when hot air is close. 
Evaporation: the process of a substance in a liquid state changing to a kind of gas state due to an increase in temperature or pressure. 
Transpiration:  Evaporation of water from plant leaves. 
Runoff: The draining away of water, or substances carried in it.

2. Igneous Rocks- They are formed by the cooling of molten magma on the Earth's surface.  
3. Sedimentary Rocks- They are formed by deposition. They are made of little sediments.
