1. stomata - a stoma (also stomate ; plural stomata) is a tiny opening or pore that is used for gas exchange. They are mostly found on the under-surface of plant leaves.
2. transpiration -is the process by which moisture is carried through plants from roots to small pores on the underside of leaves.
3. photosynthesis - is the biological conversion of light energy into chemical energy. This occurs in green plants, algae, and photosynthetic bacteria.
4. respiration - the transport of oxygen from the outside air to the cells within tissues, and the transport of carbon dioxide
5. tropism - response or orientation of a plant or certain lower animals to a stimulus that acts with greater intensity from one direction than another
6. auxin - plant hormone that regulates the amount, type, and direction of plant growth.
7. photoperiodism - is a biological response to a change in the proportions of light and dark in a 24‐hour daily cycle. Plants use it to measure the seasons
8. long-day plant - A plant in which flowering is favored by long days (i.e. days when there are more than 14 hours of daylight) and correspondingly short dark periods.
9. short-day plant -A plant that flowers only after being exposed to light periods shorter than a certain critical length, as in early spring or fall.
10. day-neutral plant - A plant that flowers regardless of the length of the period of light it is exposed to. Rice, corn, and the cucumber are day-neutral plants.

1. force - is any interaction which tends to change the motion of an object. In other words, a force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity
2. friction - force that resists the sliding or rolling of one solid object over another. Frictional forces, such as the traction needed to walk without slipping.
3. drag force - is the resistance force caused by the motion of a body through a fluid, such as water or air. A drag force acts opposite to the direction of the oncoming object.
4. gravity - is the force that causes two particles to pull towards each other. Learn about gravity and find out how Newton and Einstein explain gravity.
5. net force - is the amount of force that is making the object change direction or motion.
6. balanced force - is when two equal forces are applied on an object pushing both ways. Also they are equal forces acting on an object in opposite directions.
7. unbalanced force - when two forces acting on an object are not equal in size. Unbalanced forces causes can cause.
8. inertia - a property of matter by which it remains at rest or in uniform motion in the same straight line unless acted upon by some external forces.
9. velocity - the rate of change of position along a straight line with respect to time : the derivative of position with respect to time

Homework:
2/5 - Copy vocabulary words in NB
1. Surface runoff is water, from rain, snowmelt, or other sources, that flows over the land surface, and is a major component of the water cycle. Runoff that occurs on surfaces before reaching a channel is also called overland flow.
2. Rill erosion - a scar or small channel on the side of a slope that was left behind by running water. It begins when small stream forms during a heavy rain.
3. Gully erosion - occurs when runoff water accumulates and rapidly flows in narrow channels during or immediately after heavy rains or melting snow, removing soil to a considerable depth.
4. Sheet erosion : erosion that removes surface material more or less evenly from an extensive area as contrasted witherosion along well-defined drainage lines that produces or enlarges gullies or ravines.
5. Drainage basin - is an extent or an area of land where surface water from rain, melting snow, or ice converges to a single point at a lower elevation, usually the exit of the basin, where the waters join another waterbody, such as a river, lake, reservoir, estuary, wetland, sea, or ocean.
6. Meander - a winding curve or bend of a river or road.
7. Floodplain - an area of low-lying ground adjacent to a river, formed mainly of river sediments and subject to flooding.
8. Deltas - form from deposition of sediment carried by a river as the flow leaves its mouth. Over long periods, this deposition builds the characteristic geographic pattern of a riverdelta.
9. Alluvial fan - A fan-shaped accumulation of alluvium deposited at the mouth of a ravine or at the juncture of a tributary stream with the main stream.

Homework:
2/5 - Copy vocabulary words in NB. Draw wavelength and label it.
1. Intensity - The rate at which a wave's energy flows through a given unit of space
2. Sound wave - A longitudinal wave that is caused by vibrations and that travels through a medium
3. Pitch - A measure of how high or low a sound is perceived to be, depending on the frequency of the sound wave
4. Light Ray - A line in space that matches the direction of the flow of radiant energy
5. Electromagnetic radiation - a kind of radiation including visible light, radio waves, gamma rays, and X-rays, in which electric and magnetic fields vary simultaneously
6. Electromagnetic spectrum - the range of wavelengths or frequencies over which electromagnetic radiation extends
7. Wavelength and frequency
Light is measured by its wavelength (in nanometers) or frequency (in Hertz).
One wavelength
equals the distance between two successive wave crests or troughs.
Frequency (Hertz)
equals the number of waves that passes a given point per second.

Homework:
2/5 - Copy vocabulary in NB
1. Food Chain: shows a linear progression of “who eats whom,” the flow of nutrients and energy through an ecosystem; arrows point from what is eaten to the eater (ex. carrot => bunny)
2. Food Web: similar to a food chain, but more complex; branches show all of the nutritional relationships for an entire ecosystem; can demonstrate the balance of an ecosystem
3. Symbiosis - interaction between two different organisms living in close physical association, typically to the advantage of both.
4. Mutualism is the way two organisms of different species exist in a relationship in which each individual benefits from the activity of the other. Similar interactions within a species are known as co-operation.
5. Commensalism - is a relationship between two organisms where one receives a benefit or benefits from the other and the other is not affected by it. In other words, one is benefited and the other is neither benefited nor harmed.
6. Carnivores: animals that eat only other animals.
7. Herbivores: animals that eat only plants.
8. Omnivores: animals that eat both plants and other animals, ex. humans, raccoons, ants
