of science
By: Tyranee Turner
A is for atom

An atom is the basic particle from

which all elements are made.

Atoms make up everything.

B is for boiling point

The boiling point is the temperature at

which a substance changes from a
liquid to a gas

The water reached its boiling point.

C is for camera

a camera an optical instrument that

uses lenses to focus light and !lm to
record an image of an ob"ect

# took a picture with a camera.

$ is for $%A

$%A is $eo&yribonucleic Acid one type

of nucleic acid.

# have same $%A as my parents.

' is for
elasticity

'lasticity is the ability of a material to

bounce back after being disturbed.

(y bouncy ball has elasticity.

) is for force

)orce is a push or pull e&erted on an

ob"ect.

# used force to shut my door.

* is for gravity

*ravity is the force that pulls ob"ects

together.

There is no gravity on the moon.

+ is for heat

+eat is thermal energy that is

transferred from matter at a lower
temperature.

)ire produces heat.

# is for insulator

An insulator is a material that dose not

change heat well.

,ood is an insulator.
- is for "oule

-oule is a unit of work equal to one

newton.meter.

-oule is /# unit of work.

0 is for kinetic energy

0inetic energy is energy that an ob"ect

has due to its motion.

0inetic energy is when # push a ball

down the hill.
1 is for liquid

1iquid is a state of matter that has no

de!nite shape but has a de!nite.

,ater is a liquid.
( is for melting

(elting is the change from the solid to

the liquid state of matter.

The chocolate melted in the car.

% is for newton

%ewton is a unit of measure that

equals the force required to accelerate
2 kilogram of mass at 2 meter per
second.

The strength of a force is measured in

/# unit called the newton
3 is for origin

3rigin is the 4556 point on a line graph.

# started at the origin to graph the

point.
7 is for pupil

A pupil is the opening in the center of

the iris through which light enters the
inside of the eye

# got my pupil dilated

8 is for quantitative
observation

quantitative observation is an
observation that deals with a number
or amount.

There are 22 !sh is a quantitative

observation .
9 is for rolling friction

rolling friction is friction that occurs

when an ob"ect rolls

9iding a skateboard is an e&ample of

rolling friction.
