What are two main areas of physical science
300
1. Pose a question 2. develop a hypothesis 3. design an experiment 4. collect and interpret data 5. draw a conclusion 6. communicate ideas and results
What is the process of the scientific Inquiry
300
the temp. scale on which zero is the temp. at which no more energy can be removed from the matter
What is kelvin scale
300
a model that uses different forms of data to represent the way a system or process works
What is a mathematical model
300
a graph used when you are showing how each group of data relates to all the data

qualitative and quantititative
What are two types of observations
400
an investigation in which only one parameter is manipulated at a time
What is a controlled experiment
400
the temp. which no more energy can be removed from the matter
