The document defines key terms related to heat transfer, sound, soil composition, variables in experiments, states of water, and the water cycle. It explains that conduction is the transfer of heat through solids, convection involves the transfer of heat by fluid movement, and radiation transmits heat across empty spaces. It also defines terms like topsoil, subsoil, and bedrock layers of the soil. Additionally, it distinguishes between controlled, manipulated, and responding variables in experiments. Finally, it outlines the water cycle as the continuous process by which water evaporates, condenses, and precipitates.

BED ROCK – is the lowest of the soil layer.

CONTROLLED VARIABLE- refers to the things, materials or condition that remain constant or the

same.

SEA WATER- is salty. It contains plenty of salt. It is found in the seas and oceans.

FRESH WATER- is also called surface water. Unlike seawater it does not have salt.
GROUNDWATER- is found beneath the earth’s surface. It comes from water that seeps into the

ground.
