Scientific Method 1
What is a testable prediction or an educated guess?
Hypothesis
In an experiment where I am watering plants to see if sugar water or a vitamin/mineral water mix is better, what would I measure daily?
Height of plant (plant growth)
What does SI stand for?
International System of Units
What is the amount of space something takes up called?
Volume
What is the first step in the scientific method?
Ask a question
In an experiment where I am watering plants to see if sugar water or a vitamin/mineral water mix is better, what is the independent variable?
Time passing
What is the units for volume (spell it out)?
Liters
What is the amount of matter in an object called?
Mass
Which axis is the independent variable on a graph?
x - axis
In an experiment where I am watering plants to see if sugar water or a vitamin/mineral water mix is better, what is the control?
A plant with only plain water (to compare to)
What is the units for mass (spell it out)?
grams
What is the equation for density (write out the words)?
Density = mass / volume
What is an example of a scientific law?
Answers could vary (law of gravity)
In an experiment where I am watering plants to see if sugar water or a vitamin/mineral water mix is better, what type of graph would be the best way to show my data?
A line graph
Which is larger, a nanometer or a micrometer?
A micrometer
What is a derived unit?
A measurement that is obtained by combining other units (a combo)
What is an explanation that scientists have come up with that is the most logical, but has not yet been proven to be a rule of nature?
Scientific Theory
In an experiment where I am watering plants to see if sugar water or a vitamin/mineral water mix is better, what should remain constant?
How much you water them each day
How many meters are in one kilometer?
1000
If the density of gold is 19.3 g/cm3 but I measured that it was 40 g/cm3 in a lab. What is one mistake I may have made?
I either measured the mass too high or the volume to low.
