The Scientific Method
This is the first step in the scientific method, where you identify the problem or something you'd like to learn about.
What is "ask a question?"
This state of matter has a definite shape and volume.
What is a "solid"?
Density is measured by calculating these two things.
What is "mass divided by volume"?
This is a push or a pull on objects/living things.
What is a "force"?
This type of an external force is a push or pull directly applied to an object/living thing.
What is "applied force"?
This is the step in the scientific method where you make an educated guess.
What is a "hypothesis?"
This state of matter takes the shape of its container but has a definite volume.
What is a "gas"?
When comparing two substances, the one with less density (less dense) will do this in a liquid with higher density.
What is "float"?
This is a force that propels objects forward and its reaction force.
What is "thrust and drag"? Or what is "thrust and resistance"?
This type of an internal force is the result of pulling on things like a rope, string, rubber band.
What is "tension force"?
During this scientific method step, you are critically looking at the data you have collected from the experiment and/or procedure you have conducted.
What is "analysis data?"
This state of matter takes both the shape and volume of its container.
What is a "liquid"?
When comparing two substances, the one with more density (denser) will do this in a liquid/substance.
What is "sink"?
These types of forces act on the outside of objects/living things.
What are "external forces?"
This type of internal force occurs when squeezing or squashing objects/living things.
What is "compression force"?
During this scientific method step, you gather and organize the data from observations into charts or graph for easy read.
What is "collect data?"
This process occurs when a liquid turns into a gas.
What is "evaporation"?
This is the reason why hot air balloons work.
What is "hot air rises"?
These types of forces come from within (inside) objects/living things.
What is "internal forces"?
This type of external force lets stretchy things like rubber bands or slinkies return to their original shape.
What is "elastic/spring force"?
This scientific method involves summarizing your findings based on the data and results of the experiment and/or procedure that you have conducted.
What is a "conclusion"?
This is a property of matter that describes how densely packed particles are in an object/substance.
What is "density"?
This is the result of materials being heated or cooled.
What is "expansion and contraction"?
These are opposing forces of objects/living things in water.
What is "buoyance and weight?"
This is Newton's Third Law of Motion.
What is "for every action, there is an opposite and equal reaction"?
