| 10985372578 | Low Quality Energy | disorganized, dispersed (heat in ocean or air wind, solar) | 3 | |
| 10985372579 | Law of Conservation of Matter | Matter is not created nor destroyed in any chemical or physical change | 4 | |
| 10985372580 | 1st law of thermodynamics | Energy cannot be created or destroyed | 5 | |
| 10985372581 | 2nd law of thermodynamics | Energy cannot be changed from one form to another without a loss of usable energy | 6 | |
| 10985372582 | organic molecules | molecules that contain carbon | 7 | |
| 10985372583 | Nucular fission | Nuclear change in which the nuclei of certain isotopes with large mass numbers (such as uranium-235 and plutonium-239) are split apart into lighter nuclei when struck by a neutron. This process releases more neutrons and a large amount of energy. | 8 | |
| 10985372584 | nucular fusion | the putting together of small nucleas' to make bigger ones | 9 | |
| 10985372585 | nucular decay | the process by which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy by emitting radiation | 10 | |
| 10985372586 | positive feedback loop | Causes a system to change further in the same direction. | 11 | |
| 10985372587 | negitive feedback loop | outputs that result from a system in one direction then pushes it in the other way | 12 | |
| 10985372588 | element vs compound | Substances that only contain one type of atom | 13 | |
| 10985372589 | synergistic interaction | Interaction of two or more factors or processes so that the combined effect is greater than the sum of their separate effects | 14 | |
| 10985372590 | DNA | A complex molecule containing the genetic information that makes up the chromosomes. | 15 | |
| 10985372591 | Gene | A segment of DNA on a chromosome that codes for a specific trait | 16 | |

| 10985372594 | energy efficiency | The percentage of energy put into a system that does useful work | 19 | |
| 10985372595 | Energy | the ability to do work | 20 | |
| 10985372596 | Threshold | the level of stimulation required to trigger a neural impulse | 21 | |
