Scientific Process Part A
A prediction that can be tested through an investigation or experiment.
What is a hypothesis?
Something a scientist wants to investigate.
What is question?
Information gathered from the experiment using the senses or tools.
What is observation?
Single digit x single digit multiplication answer 48.
What is 8 x 6?
The amount of matter in an object, measured in grams (g) or kilograms (kg).
What is mass?
The steps followed during an investigation.
What is procedure?
A factor or variable that stays the same to ensure a fair test.
What is control variable?
A measure of how tightly packed the matter within an object or substance is; comparing its mass to its volume.
What is density?
Single digit x single digit multiplication answer 72
What is 8 x 9?
The amount of space an object takes up, measured in milliliters (mL) or liters (L).
What is volume?
Information used to support a conclusion.
What is evidence?
An investigation or experiment where only one variable is changed.
What is fair test?
Facts, measurements, or observations collected during an investigation or experiment.
What is data?
456 789 - 193 890 = ?
What is 262899?
The ability of a substance (mainly gases) to reduce in volume under pressure.
What is compressability?
A preference or prejudice that can unfairly influence results or decisions.
What is bias?
The factor (variable) that is measured or observed to see how it changes.
What is responding or dependent variable?
Principles that guide scientists to act fairly, safely, and respectfully.
What is ethics?
578 932 + 6409 + 3799 = ?
What is 589 140?
Forces that pull particles together; strongest in solids and weakest in gases.
What are attractive forces?
A statement explaining what was learned from the investigation or experiment.
What is conclusion?
The factor (variable) that is intentionally(on purpose) changed by the investigator.
What is manipulated or independent variable?
An explanation based on observations and prior knowledge.
What is inference?
Something equal or interchangeable in value, amount, function, or meaning even if the two things look or appear different.
What is equivalent?
A model explaining that all matter is made up of small particles that are always moving and have spaces between them.
What is the particle theory of matter?
