100
It is the procedure scientists use to help explain why things happen the way they do.
What is the scientific method?
100
It is a measure of the amount of matter in a given amount of space.
What is density?
100
It is calculated in grams.
How if mass calculated?
100
It is the amount of space that matter in an object occupies.
What is volume?
100
It is a measure of the gravitational force on an object.
What is weight?
200
Observation, Question, Hypothesis, Experiment, Analyze Results, Draw Conclusions.
What are the steps of the scientific method?
200
You divide it's mass by it's weight.
How do you find an objects density?
200
It describes the amount of matter in an object.
What is mass?
200
You do L x W x H
How do you calculate volume?
200
You use newtons.
What unit do you use for weight?
300
An educated guess ; prediction.
What is a hypothesis?
300
Solid(g/cm3) Liquid(g/mL) Gases(g/mL)
What are standard units of measure for volume?
300
You use an electronic scale or balance.
What instrument do you use for mass?
300
You use cm3
What unit do you use for volume?
400
Organize data ; look for patterns and trends.
How do you analyze results?
400
An object that is more dense than the fluid in which it is immersed sinks. An object that is less dense than the fluid in which it is immersed floats to the surface.
How does density affect the floating and sinking in water?
400
No because mass is the amount of matter in an object. While matter is anything that has mass and takes up space.
Is mass the same as matter?
400
It has a mass of 1kg.
What does one liter of water have a mass of?
500
What do these results tell me? ; was my hypothesis right or wrong?
When drawing conclusions, what should you ask your self?
500
Yes; For example, if you divide a piece of clay in half, both halves will have the same density as the original piece.
Will the density of a given substance remain the same no matter how much of the substance you have?
500
Density is directly proportional to mass.
How does mass effect the density in an object?
500
Measure standard objects in cubic centimeters. For irregular objects, you find it by the displacement method.
How do you find volume?
