Activity 5: Practice and Review

Use the learning resources and websites to answer the review questions. Include the answers in your notebook.

What role do convection currents play in plate tectonics and weather?
How do biological insulators (feathers, fat) help retain heat?
What are the applications for spontaneous nuclear fission?
Why would nuclear fusion be a better way to obtain energy? What difficulties are there in developing a controlled fusion energy source?
Explain the wave-particle duality of light.
Describe how nuclear reactors work, and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of nuclear energy.
