1: Intro to Physical Science
A prediction before the experiment
hypothesis
When the New Moon blocks your view of the Sun
Solar Eclipse
This has a definite shape and a definite volume
solid
This is how many elements are on the Periodic Table
118 elements
A push or a pull
force
knowledge or information from an experiment or invention
data
This occurs at a full moon when the Earth is directly between the Moon and Sun
Lunar Eclipse
This has a definite volume but no shape of its own
Liquid
Special metals found in the middle part of the periodic table. They are strong shiny, and good at doing different things.
Transition Metals
The unit of force.
Newton
A measure of temperature beginning at absolute zero
Kelvin scale
When the gravity of the Moon and the Sun pull on the oceans in the same direction
Spring Tide
This does not have volume or a definite shape
Gas
The specific amount of energy an electron can have
Energy Level
This law states that F = ma
Newton's 2nd law of motion
the measure of length x width x height
volume
When the Sun's pull on the Earth's oceans is at right angles to the Moon's pull
Neap Tide
The change in state from solid to liquid
Melting
This person discovered the neutron
James Chadwick
Law which states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction
Newton's 3rd law of motion
Using one or more senses to gather information
observing
When the lit-up part of the Moon's face shrinks from about 100% to 50%
Waning Gibbous
The change from liquid to solid
freezing
This is how many protons are in Carbon
6 protons
The law of inertia
Newton's 1st law of motion
