A Science Hodgepodge
200

Describes the relationship between a material's mass and volume

What is Density?

200

The equipment/objects used to keep you safe in a lab environment

What is Safety Equipment?

200

Proposed explanation made on the basis of limited evidence as a starting point for further investigation.

What is a Hypothesis?

200

Comparing an unknown amount with a known unit to determine the length, weight, temperature, quantity, or capacity of an object or event

What is Measuring? 

200

Series of steps that people use when creating functional products

What is The Design Process?

400

Linear measurement; ruler or meter stick; objects in a straight line; Unit of Measurement: Meters(m)

What is Length?

400

Provide protection against flying debris and chemical splashes

What are Chemical Splash Goggles?

400

State the problem (ask a question), Make a hypothesis (use “if” and “then”), Conduct the experiment (follow a procedure), Record & analyze data (make charts, graphs, and analyze), Draw conclusions (is your hypothesis correct or incorrect), Repeat experiment

What are the Steps of the Scientific Method?

400

Explaining, making interpretations, or drawing  conclusions about a specific event based on observations and data

What is Inferring? 

400

v x d (volume times density)

What is the Equation for Mass?

600

This type of variable stays the same and is not involved in the experiment(ex: location, type)

What is a Constant?

600

Used to measure mass

What is a Triple Beam Balance?

600

Items you will need for the experiment

What are Materials?

600

Grouping or ordering objects or events into categories based on similarities, differences and interrelationships

What is Classifying?

600

DAILY DOUBLE!:

m/d (mass divided by density)

What is the equation for Volume?

800

This type of variable stands alone and isn’t changed by other variables (ex: age, time)

What is an Independent Variable? 

800

Used for determining the mass

What is a Digital Scale?

800

The information you got from the experiment

What is Data?

800

Using written or spoken words, graphs, tables, diagrams, models, and video recordings to share information and ideas with others

What is Communicating?

800

m/v (mass divided by volume)

What is the equation for Density?

1000

Weight; the amount of stuff an object has (atoms); measured with a balance; Unit of Measurement: Grams(g)

What is Mass?

1000

Used to measure the volume 

What is a Graduated Cylinder? 

1000

The first or preliminary model of something, especially a machine, from which other forms are developed and copied

What are Prototypes?

1000

Forming an idea of an expected result—not a guess– but a belief of what will occur based on present knowledge, observations, and inferences; NOT A GUESS

What is Predicting?

1000

1. ask, 2. imagine, 3. plan, 4. create, 5. improve

What are the steps of The Design Process?

1200

Capacity; amount of space an objects occupies; measured with graduated cylinder, ruler, overflow can; Unit of Measurement: Liters(L), cubic cm, ml

What is Volume?

1200

The steps and precautions you have to follow when in a lab

What are Safety Precautions?

1200

 The end of the experiment

What are Conclusions?

1200

Using the five senses to gather information about objects such as their characteristics, properties, similarities and differences (see, touch, taste, feel, listen)

What is Observing?

1400

This type of variable depends on other factors; changes (ex: height)

What is a Dependent Variable?

1400

 the steps to complete the experiment

What is the Procedure?
