How do you calculate density?

Mass divided by volume

100

What is a physical property?

a property that can be measured or observed without changing the identity of the substance

100
Theories turn into laws 

TRUE or FALSE?

FALSE

200

Independent Variable

is the same thing as the test or manipulated variable. It is the variable that is changed/manipulated.

200

How does temperature, concentration, and surface area effect the rate of chemical reactions?

Increases/speeds up rate of reaction

200

What is a chemical property?

A property changes the identity of a substance

What is volume a measurement of?

How much space something occupies/takes up

300

Give 2 examples of a law that we have discussed

Law of Conservation of Mass

Law of Gravity

400

Dependent Variable 

Is the same as the result or responding variable. It is what is be measured. The measurable outcome of the experiment.  
400

The formation of a gas after a reaction occurs indicates a

chemical change

400
Opening a can of soda causes it to fizz. This means that underwent a chemical reaction. Did the identity of the substance change after the can was opened? 

Yes, because a chemical change occurred
