400
a force that resists the sliding or rolling of one surface over another
friction
400
an explanation for why things work or how things happen based on observations of the world and ideas that can be tested.
theory

the thing that changes in an experiment in response to a variable changing
dependent variable
400
the lowest possible temperature (theoretical) 0 K
absolute zero
500
summaries or statements that describe a wide range of observations and results of experiments (explain what happens rather than why it happens)
