What is friction?

Back

Friction is a force that opposes the motion of an object when it comes into contact with another surface.

Front

What are the north and south poles of a magnet?

Back

The north pole is the end of a magnet that is attracted to the Earth's magnetic north, while the south pole is the end that is attracted to the Earth's magnetic south.

What is climate?

Back

Climate refers to the long-term average of weather conditions in a particular area, including temperature and precipitation.

Front

What is a glacier?

Back

A glacier is a large mass of ice that moves slowly over land, formed from compacted snow.

Front

What is the relationship between temperature and the melting of glaciers?

Back

As air temperature increases, glaciers tend to melt faster because warmer air can heat the ice.

Front

What is a hypothesis?

Back

A hypothesis is a testable prediction about the relationship between two or more variables.

Front

What is the scientific method?

Back

The scientific method is a systematic process for investigating phenomena, acquiring new knowledge, or correcting and integrating previous knowledge.

Front

What is magnetic force?

Back

Magnetic force is the attraction or repulsion that arises between electrically charged particles due to their motion.
