GOING THROUGH A "PHASE"
THE PROCESS OF CHANGING A SUBSTANCE FROM A SOLID TO A LIQUID
WHAT IS MELTING?
THE POINT WHERE A SOLID STARTS TO BECOME A LIQUID
WHAT IS THE MELTING POINT
THIS VARIABLE IS THE ONE YOU CAN CONTROL IN AN EXPERIMENT.
WHAT IS THE INDEPENDENT VARIABLE? (IV)
THE PARTICLES IN A SUBSTANCE ARE ALWAYS ______________________
WHAT IS MOVING?
THIS IS THE AMOUNT OF ATOMS (OR MATTER) A SUBSTANCE HAS
WHAT IS MASS?
THE PROCESS OF CHANGING A LIQUID INTO A GAS
WHAT IS EVAPORATION OR VAPORIZATION?
THE POINT WHERE A LIQUID STARTS TO BECOME A GAS
WHAT IS THE BOILING POINT?
THIS IS THE VARIABLE THAT IS AFFECTED BY ANOTHER VARIABLE. (HINT: IT IS THE "EFFECT" IN A "CAUSE AND EFFECT" RELATIONSHIP)
WHAT IS THE DEPENDENT VARIABLE
THE PARTICLES IN THIS PHASE OF A SUBSTANCE ARE MOVING VERY QUICKLY AND FAR APART FROM EACH OTHER.
WHAT IS A GAS?
THIS IS THE AMOUNT OF SPACE AN OBJECT TAKES UP.
WHAT IS VOLUME?
THE PROCESS OF CHANGING A GAS INTO A LIQUID
WHAT IS CONDENSATION?
THE POINT WHERE A LIQUID STARTS TO BECOME A SOLID
WHAT IS THE FREEZING POINT
THESE CONDITIONS ARE THE SAME FOR EACH EXPERIMENT IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO SEE THE EFFECT OF THE VARIABLES.
WHAT IS A CONSTANT?
THE PARTICLES IN THIS PHASE OF A SUBSTANCE ARE VIBRATING IN PLACE AND ARE STRONGLY ATTRACTED TO EACH OTHER.
WHAT IS A SOLID
TWO CHARACTERISTICS OF THIS ARE THAT IT HAS BOTH MASS AND VOLUME
WHAT IS MATTER?
THE PROCESS OF CHANGING A LIQUID INTO A SOLID
WHAT IS FREEZING?
THE POINT WHERE A GAS STARTS TO BECOME A LIQUID
WHAT IS THE CONDENSATION POINT?
AN IF____ THEN_____ BECAUSE_____ STATEMENT IS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF ONE OF THESE. (ALSO KNOWN AS AN EDUCATED GUESS)
WHAT IS A HYPOTHESIS?
THE PARTICLES IN THIS PHASE OF A SUBSTANCE ARE MOVING QUICKER AND WHILE THEY ARE STILL ATTRACTED TO EACH OTHER, THEY ARE MOVING AROUND AND PAST EACH OTHER.
WHAT IS A LIQUID?
Information gathered using the five senses, or a measurement
WHAT IS AN OBSERVATION
ADDING HEAT TO A SUBSTANCE WILL MAKE IT GO FROM __________ TO A ___________ AN FINALLY INTO A ________.
WHAT IS SOLID, LIQUID, AND GAS?
THE TEMPERATURE OF A SUBSTANCE ____________________________ FROM THE POINT IT BEGINS TO CHANGE ITS PHASE TO THE POINT IT FINISHES CHANGING ITS PHASE. (I.E. THE POINT WHERE A SOLID STARTS TO AND THEN FINISHED BECOMING A LIQUID
WHAT IS "STAYS THE SAME"?
IF I TRY THE MENTOS AND DIET COKE FOUNTAIN EXPERIMENT WITH 3 DIFFERENT TYPES OF MENTOS, USING 20 OZ. BOTTLES OF DIET COKE, AND I MEASURE HOW HIGH THE SODA FOUNTAIN REACHES FOR EACH ONE, WHAT IS THE CONSTANT LISTED IN THIS EXPERIMENT?
WHAT IS THE AMOUNT OF DIET COKE USED?
(ACCEPTABLE ANSWERS INCLUDE: TYPE OF SODA, AMOUNT OF SODA)
ADDING THIS TO A SUBSTANCE MAKES THE PARTICLES MOVE FASTER AND FASTER
WHAT IS HEAT?
A conclusion or opinion that is based on observations.
WHAT IS AN INFERENCE?
