100
the energy possessed by a body because of its motion
What is kinetic enegy
100
one of the fundamental states of matter with a definite volume but no definite shape
What is liquid
100
a procedure that is carried out in order to observe a response caused by a stimulus; not a complete experiment
What is investigations
200
in any periodic function (e.g., a wave) the maximum absolute variation of the function
What is amplitude
200
the smallest unit of a chemical element that can still retain the properties of that element

200
a mixture of two or more substances uniformly dispersed throughout a single phase
What is solution
200
a plan of inquiry that uses science process skills as a tool to gather, organize, analyze, and communicate information

300
a force that opposes the relative motion of two material surfaces in contact with one another
What is Friction
300
a subatomic particle having a positive charge and which is found in the nucleus of an atom
What is proton
300
the process in which a liquid is converted to its vapor phase by heating the liquid

400
the bouncing off or turning back of light, sound, or heat from a surface
What is reflection
400
the factor that is changed in an experiment in order to study changes in the dependent variable
What is independant variable
500
the property of an object, due to its mass, that causes it to resist any change in its motion unless overcome by a force
What is inertia
500
a stable elementary particle that is negatively charged and orbits the nucleus of an atom
What is electron
500
the transmission of heat through a medium and without the motion of the medium
What is conduction
