Scientific Method
This is the first step of the scientific method where you identify what you want to learn.
What is asking a question?
This type of particle is transferred between objects when static electricity is created
electron
This force slows down or stops objects when they rub against each other
friction
When a solid turns into a liquid, this process occurs?
Melting point
What is matter?
Anything that takes up space and has mass and volume
This is an educated guess about what you think will happen in your experiment.
What is a hypothesis?
Unlike protons and electrons, this particle carries no electric charge.
neutron
When you open a door by moving it toward you, you are using this type of force?
pull
This state of matter has a definite shape and volume?
Solid
a piece of metal that attracts objects with iron in them.
This part of the scientific method involves testing your hypothesis by conducting an experiment.
What is the experiment?
This positively charged particle is found in the nucleus of an atom and defines the element.
What is a proton?
This force is used when kicking a soccer ball across the field.
Push
This state of matter spreads out to fill the shape and volume of its container
What is a gas
to cause something to move away
This is what scientists gather during an experiment to figure out if their hypothesis is correct.
What is data?
What's in the center of the protons
nucleus
This term describes the change in position of an object over time?
Motion
This property of matter describes how much space an object takes up.
volume
What is force?
a push or pull that cause an object to move.
This is the step where scientists look at the data to decide if their hypothesis was correct or incorrect.
What is drawing a conclusion?
A electric charge produced by friction
Static Electricity
Clue: This force pulls objects toward the center of the Earth.
gravity
These tiny particles make up all matter in the universe.
atoms
what is attract?
To cause something to move closer.
