Measurement
You use this tool to measure the mass of an object.
What is a triple beam balance?
This is the formula used to calculate speed.
What is distance divided by time?
This is the first step in the scientific method
What is "identify the problem?"
This type of data involves numbers and measurements.
What is quantitative data?
This is the smallest particle of an element that retains the properties of that element.
What is an atom?
This tool is used to measure the volume of a liquid.
What is a graduated cylinder?
The speed of a car is typically measured in these units.
What are kilometers per hour (km/h) or miles per hour (mph)?
What is the last step of the scientific method?
This type of data involves descriptions or characteristics.
What is qualitative data?
This part of the atom has a positive charge and is located in the nucleus.
What is a proton?
This is a common unit for measuring the mass of an object.
What are grams?
This is the rate at which an object covers distance.
What is speed?
This is an educated guess using previous research.
What is a hypothesis?
If you record the number of plants in a garden, you are collecting this type of data.
What is quantitative data?
This part of the atom has no charge and is found in the nucleus with the protons.
What is a neutron?
This is a method for measuring the volume of an object that doesn't have a regular shape, also known as an irregularly shaped solid
What is water displacement?
This type of graph refers to traveling at a constant rate for an extended period of time. (think of cruise control)
What is a constant motion graph?
This is what you do when there is an error in the scientific method process.

Describing the texture of a rock as "smooth" or "rough" is an example of this kind of data.
What is qualitative data?
The electrons in an atom are found in these regions around the nucleus.

If a runner travels 100 meters in 20 seconds, her speed is this.
What is 5 meters per second?
This is the step in which you gather information gained during the experiment and compare it to your hypothesis.
What is collecting data?
This type of data might include information about how long it takes for an object to fall, while this type could describe the object’s shape.
What is quantitative data for the time and qualitative data for the shape?
This part of the atom has a negative charge and is located outside of the nucleus.
What are electrons?
