The measurements and observations gathered from an experiment

What is data?

100

The ability to do work.

What is energy?

100

A gravitational force exerted on an object by a planet or moon; measured in newtons (N).

What is weight?

100
In an experiment, this is something you can change.

What is a variable?

200

A clear and concise statement that can be proved true, false or inconclusive.

What is a hypothesis?

200

The energy of motion

What is kinetic motion.

200

A measure of the amount of matter that makes up an object or substance; measured in grams (g)

What is mass?

200
In an experiment, this is the variable changed by the scientist.

What is the independent variable?

300

All knowledge gained from experiments

What is science?

300
Energy that is stored

What is potential energy?

300

A measure of the amount of energy and work.

What is joules (J)?

300

This is what scientists use to find out what is already known about their question.

What is research?

400
A specific procedure that tests if a hypothesis is true, false or inconclusive.

What is an experiment?

400

The energy stored in an object as a result of its vertical position or height above the ground.

What is gravitational potential energy.

400
What is 9.8 m/s2

What is the acceleration of gravity?

400

In an experiment, this allows scientists to isolate one variable.

What is the constant?

500
This step in the scientific process must end with a question mark and does not include words such as "I" or "because".

What is a question?

500

Any change in position, speed, or state of matter due to force.

What is work?

500
