This unit of measurement was named after the famous Physicist Alessandro Volta

What is the Volt?

This mans Theory of Relativity revolutionized the world of Physics

Who is Einstein?

This Physicist was the first woman to win a Nobel prize

Who is Marie Curie?

Copernicus was the first man to create a _______ model of the solar system.

What is heliocentric?

Marie Curie was the first Physicist to win a Nobel prize in two disciplines. What were they?

What are Physics and Chemistry?

This planet is closest to the Sun in our solar system.

What is Mercury?

These are so dense and create such intense gravity that light cannot escape.

What are black holes?

This is the only planet that spins on its side (like a barrel).

What is Uranus?

This is the only planet that spins clockwise on its axis (also called retrograde motion)

What is Venus?

If our Sun was replaced with this star, its diameter would extend past the orbit of Jupiter.

What is Betelgeuse?

The is the slope of a distancetime graph

What is Velocity?

Velocity, displacement, force, momentum, and acceleration are all what?

What are vectors?

Time, distance, speed and energy are all what?

What are scalar quantities?

This is conserved in all collision systems

What is momentum?

This is considered to be the coldest possible temperature, and is also considered to be unattainable.

What is absolute zero?

What is the angle of refraction?

Final Jeopardy

This phenomenon is caused by collisions between the particles in our atmosphere and electrically charged particles from the Sun when they enter the Earths surface. The answer must be given as a scientific name, or the points will not be awarded.

What is the Aurora Borealis or Aurora Australis?
