Scientific Riddle Quest
Solve these 8 science riddles. Think back to our energy, earth systems, electricity, and ecology units!
"I travel in waves but require no medium to crawl; through the vacuum of outer space, I can outrun them all. What am I?"
Ans:
"I am the grand sum of all life on Earth, where plants, animals, and microbes find their birth. What am I?"
Ans:
"I am not just the weather on a single day, but the pattern of decades that defines a region's way. What am I?"
Ans:
"I am the flow of tiny charges on a continuous run; when I pass through a bulb, your dark room meets the sun. What am I?"
Ans:
"I am the kinetic energy of particles moving with speed; transfer me from hot to cold, and heat is what you'll breed. What am I?"
Ans:
"I have physical mass and take up space, in any phase or any place. Soluble or chemical, solid, liquid, or gas. What am I?"
Ans:
"I change from day to day, with a breeze, a storm, or sun ray; I am the current atmosphere, what do you see outside today? What am I?"
Ans:
"I am a closed loop where current can flow, lighting up gadgets or making bulbs glow. If you break my path, the flow will cease. What am I?"
