Branches of Chemistry
The study of substances and processes that occur in living things
What is Biochemistry?
Sea butterflies produce a chemical that deters predators.
What is the Hypothesis?
The predator fish ate the regular pellets but rejected the pellets containing sea butterfly extract.
What is a Fact?
The amount of gravitational force on an object.
What is Weight?
A state of matter that has a fixed volume but not a fixed shape.
What is a Liquid?
The study of substances that do not contain carbon.
What is Inorganic Chemistry?
Amphipods like to carry sea butterflies.
What is the Observation?
Heat consists of a fluid called caloric that flows from hotter objects to colder objects.
What is a Theory?
The amount of matter in an object.
What is Mass?
A state of matter that usually has the highest particle energy.
What is a Gas?
The study of the identification and composition of substances.
What is Analytical Chemistry?
Why do amphipods abduct sea butterflies if they slow them down?
What is the Question?
Objects attract each other with a force that is proportional to the product of their masses divided by the square of the distance between them.
What is a Law?
The amount of space an object occupies.
What is Volume?
A state of matter that usually has the lowest density.
What is a Gas?
The study of substances that contain carbon.
What is Organic Chemistry?
The food pellets that did not contain sea butterfly extract.
What is the Control?
What we perceive as the force of gravity arises from the curvature of space and time.
What is a Theory?
The amount of mass in a specific volume.
What is Density?
A state of matter that usually has the lowest temperature.
What is a Solid?
The study of properties, transformations, and interrelationships of energy and matter.
What is Physical Chemistry?
If the sea butterflies produce a chemical that deters predators, then predators will eat regular pellets but will avoid pellets containing sea butterfly extract.
What is the Prediction?
There is no detectable change in the total mass of materials when they react chemically to form new materials.
What is a Law?
A measure of the amount of thermal energy in an object.
What is Temperature?
A state of matter that has higher density than another state of matter only when the substance is water.
What is a liquid?
