ABC
Biodegradable: a material
capable of being
decomposed by bacteria
or other living organisms
and thereby avoiding
pollution
Carbon dioxide: The gas
thought to cause global
warming. Made from one
carbon atom and two
oxygen atoms.
Carbon footprint: The
amount of CO2 we each
emit every year taking into
account transport,
electricity use and the
products we buy.
Carbon cycle: How carbon
moves between the
atmosphere, plants, animals
and the soil.
DEF
Fossil fuels: Coal, oil
Climate change: Long term and gas, formed from
the fossilization of
changes in global
animals and plants
temperatures- evidence
Decomposer: Bacteria
suggests that the earth is
or fungi - organisms
getting hotter.
Combustion: ‘Burning’ - fuel that consume (eat)
dead organisms.
+ oxygen → water +
carbon dioxide.
Condensation: The process
of changing from gas to
liquid.
Consumer:
1) A person who buys
things
2) An organism that
consumes (eats) another
organism
GHI
Global warming: Long term
changes in global
temperatures- evidence
suggests that the earth is
getting hotter.
Glacier: Large permanent
sheets of ice.
JKL
MNO
P
Photosynthesis: When plants
use the sun’s energy to
convert carbon dioxide
and water into glucose
(plant food) and oxygen.
Pollution: the presence in or
introduction into the
environment of a substance
which has harmful or
poisonous effects.
QR
STU
Sustainable:
something that can
be maintained/not
run out.
Respiration: When living
things release energy from
food. This requires oxygen
and produces carbon
dioxide and water as waste
products.

ABC
Closed loop system: A
system where everything
is recycled and reused,
nothing gets ‘lost’ or
‘wasted’ (natural systems
are usually closed loop
e.g. water cycle)
Combustion: ‘Burning’ fuel + oxygen → water +
carbon dioxide.
Condensation: The
process of changing from
gas to liquid.
Consumer:
1) A person who buys
things
2) An organism that
consumes (eats) another
organism
Consumer Product: An
item that can be
bought in a shop.
Cradle-to-cradle design:
An item designed
specifically so that it can
be recycled easily.
DEF
Fossil fuels: Coal, oil and
gas, formed from the
fossilization of animals and
plants
Evaporation: Process of
changing from liquid to a
gas.
Decomposer: Bacteria or
fungi - organisms that
consume (eat) dead
organisms.
Downcycling: When a
product is used to make
something of less value
than that of the original
product.
GHI
Global warming: Long
term changes in global
temperatures- evidence
suggests that the earth is
getting hotter.
Glacier: Large permanent
sheets of ice.
JKL
Linear system: Systems
where by not everything
is reused. Current
manufacturing systems
are linear as most waste
ends up in landfill.
Landfill: the disposal of
waste material by
burying it
MNO
Natural materials: Materials
that exist naturally e.g.
rock, bone, plant litter.
Malleable: A material that
can be bange and bent
into shape without
shattering (metals are
malleable)
PQR
Pollution: the presence in
or introduction into the
environment of a
substance which has
harmful or poisonous
effects.
Respiration: When living
things release energy
from food. This requires
oxygen and produces
carbon dioxide and
water as waste products.
Recycling: Reusing
materials.
STU
Technical materials:
‘Man-made’ materials,
non-biodegradable
Toxic: chemicals that
can be poisonous to
living organisms.
Technical materials
often make the soil toxic.
Sustainable: something
that can be
maintained/not run out.
Upcycling: When a
product is used to make
something of a greater
value than that of the
original product.
VWXYZ
Water cycle: How water
molecules are cycled
between land, air and
sea/lakes etc.
Waste: A product or
material that is no longer
useful or required.
Biodegradable
A material capable of
being decomposed by
bacteria or other living
organisms
Carbon dioxide

from one carbon atom
and two oxygen atoms.
Carbon footprint
The amount of CO2 we

Fossil fuels
Coal, oil and gas, formed
from the fossilization of
animals and plants
Power station
A place where electricity is
produced - often through the
burning of fossil fuels e.g. coal,
oil, or nuclear.
Solar energy
Capturing energy from the sun
for other uses e.g. heating.
Decomposer
Bacteria or fungi organisms that consume
(eat) dead organisms,
breaking them down.
