100
This is the calculation for density.
What is d=m/v ?
100
This science tool is used to measure the mass of an object in grams.
What is a triple beam balance?
100
This is what happens when an object with a density of 2 g/cm^3 is place in a beaker of water.
What is sinking?
100
This variable is changed by the experimenter and is also known as the independent variable.
What is a manipulated variable?
100
This is the horizontal axis on a graph.
What is the x axis?
200
This is the density of water.
What is 1.0 g/mL?
200
This science tool has a spout and is used to find the volume of irregular solids using water displacement.
What is a displacement tank?
200
This is what happens when ice is placed in water.
What is floating?
200
This variable responds to changes made by the experimenter and is also known as the dependent variable.
What is the responding variable?
200
This is the vertical axis on a graph.
What is the y axis?
300
This is the formula for calculating the volume of a regular rectangle.
What is length xwidth xheigth ?
300
This science tool, which is similar in function to a beaker, is used to measure liquid volume and is marked in milliliters.
What is a graduated cylinder?
300
This is what happens when Liquid A, with a mass of 16 g and a volume of 4 mL, is mixed with Liquid B, that has a mass of 10 g and a volume of 2 mL.
What is "liquid A will sink" or "liquid B will float" ?
300
These variables, also known as the experimental variables, are kept constant- or NOT changed in an investigation.
What are the controlled variables?
300
This part of a graph is always found at the top of a graph and articulates (tells) :) what the graph is about.
What is the title?
400
This is the amount of matter in an object.
What is the mass?
400
This tool, which is similar in function to a graduated cylinder, measures liquid volume in milliliters.
What is a beaker?
400
This is what happens when an solid object with a density of 19.32 g/cm^3 is place in water.
What is "sinking" ?
400
This part of a scientific investigation is an educated guess about the outcome of an investigation which is based on valid, scientific reasoning.
What is a hypothesis?
400
This column of a table is always located on the far right hand side. It adds together the data from the other trials and divides the data by the number of trials. It also includes the data that is used in writing a conclusion.
What is the Average (or data average)?
500
These are the correct units for calculating the density of a solid.
What are g/cm^3 (grams per cubic centimeter)?
500
This science tool is used to measure distance in centimeters and millimeters.
What is a ruler (or meter stick)?
500
This is what happens when a liquid with a mass of 6 g and a volume of 3 mL is placed pour into a jar with a liquid that has a mass of 8 g and 4 mL.
What is mixing or combing?
500
This final piece of a scientific investigation includes four parts: 1) Answering the question, 2) Using low data averages 3) Using high data averages and 4) A concluding statement that calculates the difference between the high and low data averages.
What is a conclusion?
500
This is the minimum (smallest) number of trials that should be done in order to ensure (guarantee) that data is accurate and consistent.
What are three trials?
