line up: (noun: alignment) The arrangement or arrangement of things in a patterned order, following clear lines.
atom: Basic unit of chemical elements. Atoms consist of a dense nucleus containing positively charged protons and uncharged neutrons. The nucleus of an atom is orbited by a cloud of negatively charged electrons.
Black Hole: A region of space with a gravitational field so strong that no matter or radiation (including light) can escape.
cell: (in biology) the smallest structural and functional unit of an organism. They are usually too small to be seen with the naked eye and consist of a watery fluid surrounded by a membrane or wall. Depending on their size, animals are made up of thousands to trillions of cells. Most living organisms, such as yeast, molds, bacteria, and some algae, are made up of only one cell.
computer model: A program running on a computer that creates a model or simulation of real-world features, phenomena, or events.
computer program: A set of instructions that a computer uses to perform some analysis or calculation. The creation of these instructions is known as computer programming.
DNA: (abbreviation for deoxyribonucleic acid) A long, double-stranded, helical molecule that is present in most living cells and carries genetic instructions. It is built on a skeleton of phosphorus, oxygen, and carbon atoms. In all living things, from plants and animals to microorganisms, these instructions tell cells which molecules to make.
electronic: Negatively charged particles. It is usually seen orbiting the outer region of the atom. Also, a conductor of electricity within a solid body.
Fossil fuel: Fuels such as coal, petroleum (crude oil), and natural gas that have been produced within the Earth over millions of years from the decaying remains of bacteria, plants, and animals.
fuel: A substance that releases energy during a controlled chemical or nuclear reaction. Fossil fuels (coal, natural gas, oil) are common types that release energy through chemical reactions that occur when heated (usually to the point of combustion).
genetically: It has to do with chromosomes, DNA, and the genes contained in DNA. The scientific field that deals with these biological instructions is known as genetics. The people who work in this field are geneticists.
model: A simulation (usually using a computer) of a real-world event developed to predict one or more possible outcomes. Or an individual whose purpose is to show how something works or looks to another person.
molecule: An electrically neutral group of atoms that represents the smallest possible amount of a compound. Molecules can be made up of a single type of atom or different types of atoms. For example, oxygen in air has two oxygen atoms (O2) However, water has two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom (H2oh).
phenomenon: A surprising or unusual event or development.
physically: (adjective) A term used to describe something that exists in the real world rather than in memory or imagination. It can also refer to properties of a material due to size or non-chemical interactions (such as when one block collides with another block with force). (In biology and medicine) This term can refer to the body, such as a physical exam or physical activity.
physicist: A scientist who studies the nature and properties of matter and energy.
Physics: Scientific study of the nature and nature of matter and energy. Classical physics explains the nature and nature of matter and energy based on descriptions such as Newton’s laws of motion. Quantum physics, a field of study that emerged later, is a way to more precisely describe the motion and behavior of matter. Scientists who work in such fields are known as physicists.
planet: A large celestial body that orbits a star, but unlike a star, it does not produce visible light.
plastic: Any of a series of materials that are susceptible to deformation. or synthetic materials made from polymers (long strings of component molecules) that are lightweight, cheap, and resistant to deterioration. (adjective) A material that can be adapted by changing its shape or, in some cases, its function.
protein: A compound made from a long chain of one or more amino acids. Proteins are an essential part of all living organisms. They form the basis of living cells, muscles, and tissues. They also work inside cells. Antibodies, hemoglobin, and enzymes are all examples of proteins. Drugs often work by adsorbing to proteins.
proton: An elementary particle that is one of the basic constituents of atoms that make up matter. Protons belong to a family of particles known as hadrons.
quantum: (pl. quanta) A term referring to the smallest amount of anything, especially energy or particle mass.
quantum mechanics: A field of physics that deals with the behavior of matter on the atomic or subatomic scale.
RNA: A molecule that helps “read” the genetic information contained in DNA. The cell’s molecular machinery reads DNA and makes RNA, which in turn reads RNA and makes proteins.
scenario: A possible (or likely) sequence of events and how they will unfold.
simulate: To imitate the form or function of something to deceive in some way. For example, simulated dietary fats can trick your mouth into thinking you’re tasting real fat because they have no calories and have the same feel on your tongue. The simulated tactile sensation could trick the brain into thinking the fingers touched something, even though the hand no longer exists and has been replaced by an artificial limb. (in computing) To attempt to imitate the condition, function, or appearance of something. The computer program that does this is called a simulation.
solid: The shape is solid and stable. It’s neither a liquid nor a gas.
system: A network of parts that work together to accomplish some function. For example, blood, blood vessels, and the heart are the main components of the human body’s circulatory system. Similarly, trains, platforms, tracks, road signals, and elevated tracks are among the potential components of a country’s railway system. Systems can also apply to processes and ideas that are part of a method or ordered sequence of steps for completing a task.
