| What does an atom consist of? | Protons, Electrons and Neutrons |
| what is an Isotopes? | it is when there is a different amount of protons and neutrons |
| why is an atom neutral? | it is neutral because there is an equal amount of protons and eletrons |
| what is the particle theory? | 1.) all matter is made up of small particles 2.) different substances are made up of different kids of particles 3.) particles are always moving 4.) the particles move faster as temp. increases 5.) particles attract each other |
| what are the families of the periodic table? | -alkali metals -alkaline earth metals -transitional metals -halogen metals -noble gases |

| what are negative effects of using fertilizer? | it could attract unwanted visitors. |
| explain the difference between natural and synthetic fertilizers | natural fertilizers are made from plant and animal waste, while synthetic fertilizers are manufactured. |
| how do humans control 'pests'? | -crop rotation -confuse mating -harvesting at certain times -introduction of natural predators. |
| what happens when you have run-off from farms that enter nearby streams? | Fertilizers can enter aquatic ecosystems and create algal blooms |
| what is sustainability? | the ability to maintain an ecological balance |
| what is a conductor? | a material that lets electrons flow easily |
| what is an isolator? | a material that does not let electrons flow easily |
| what is an electron? | a negitively charged particle |
| what is voltage? | potential difference expressed in volts. |
| what is electric current (I)? | the rate of flow past a given point in a circuit. measured in amperes |
| what is electrical resistance (R)? | the ability to oppose the flow of current. measured in ohms (omega sign) |
| what is a series circuit? | a circuit where the current follows one path and the loads come after each other. |
| what is a parallel circuit? | a circuit where the current is divided up to two or more paths before recombining to complete the circuit. |
| what is potential difference? | the difference in potential energy. measured in volts |
| what is a charged object? | an object that exerts force. |
| what is the law of electric charges? | -like charges repel -opposite charges attract |
| what particle moves when discussing electricity? | electrons |
| what is the difference between static electricity and current electricity? | static electricity is the study of charges at rest and current electricity is the study of the flow of electric charge. |
| what is a short circuit? how is it prevented? | it is when there is too much current and can be prevent with circuit breakers or a fuse. |
