| Gathering knowledge about the natural world. | What does science start with? |
| The knowledge obtained by observation and the testing of laws and principles. | What is science? |
| The study of nonliving matter. | What is physical science? |
| The "stuff" that everything is made of. | What is matter? |

| Motion. | All moving objects have energy of _____.? |
| Energy. | All matter, including matter that isn't moving, has ______. |
| Chemistry and physics. | What are the two major branches of physical science? |
| Organic chemistry. | What are the study of substances made of carbon is called? |
| The study of all forms of matter, how matter changes, the structure and properties of matter, and how matter interacts with other matter. | What is chemistry? |
| A change in a substance that takes place around us all the time. | What is a chemical reaction? |
| The structure and properties of matter, how substances change, and how matter reacts with other matter. | List 3 subjects included in the science of chemistry. |
| The study of how energy affects matter, and the examination of different forms of energy. | What is physics? |
| Because of the existence of magnetism. | How do compasses help us find our way? |
| The study of living things (how animals get energy from food). | What is biology? |
| The study of the origin, history, and structure of Earth. | What is geology? |
| A person who studies the chemistry of rocks, minerals, and soil. | What is a geochemist? |
| A person who studies the atmosphere (weather and climate). | What is a meteorologist? |
| Because it is essential to predicting how weather/tornadoes will behave, They must know about low and high pressure, force, and motion before they are able to correctly predict weather. | Why must a meteorologist have an understanding og physical science? |
| Because it is imperative to understanding how rocks and soil have changed over the millions of years. Geochemists need to have an understanding of heat, force, and chemistry to do his or her job. | Why must a geochemist have an understanding of physical science? |
| Because to understand some concepts about life science, they must understand how chemistry works. | Why must a biologist have an understanding of physical science? |
