Making a guess is referred to as forming a _____________. It comes after asking a question.
What is a Hypothesis?

We create models for many reasons. One reason is because they save money. Another is because they are safer and more __________. (Means that it doesn't cause harm to living organisms.) It's why most products are not tested on animals anymore. Testing on animals is considered un_______.

Density is considered to be a "derived quantity" because....
It can't be measured directly. You need the Mass and the Volume to calculate it! Mass/Volume = Density.
