Science

100

unit of force (named after a famous scientist)

Newton

100

the amount of space a substance or object takes up

volume

100

a metric unit of volume slightly smaller than a quart

liter

100

bar graph

200

the amount of matter or substance that makes up an object

mass

200

mass x gravity

weight

200

a common piece of laboratory equipment used to measure the volume of a liquid. It has a narrow round shape. Each marked line represents the amount of liquid that has been measured.

graduated cylinder

200

the curve at the surface of a liquid

kilogram

300

an educated guess

hypotheses

300

the variable you manipulate or vary in an experimental study

independent variable

300

the number you get by adding up all of your data points and dividing by the number of data points

mean

300

a state of matter that has no fixed shape and no fixed volume.

gas

400

a force that resists the sliding or rolling of one surface over another

friction

400

an explanation for why things work or how things happen based on observations of the world and ideas that can be tested.

theory

400

a step by step empirical way of acquiring knowledge based on observation and experimentation

scientific method

400

the thing that changes in an experiment in response to a variable changing

dependent variable

400

the lowest possible temperature (theoretical) 0 K

absolute zero

500

 summaries or statements that describe a wide range of observations and results of experiments (explain what happens rather than why it happens)

law

500

The force that opposes motion in between a gas or liquid

fluid friction

500

How to find the volume of an irregular object by dunking into a known volume of water, and the water level will increase

displacement method

500

a number in a set of numbers that appears the most often.

mode

500

the absolute temperature scale that starts at the lowest possible temperature (a theoretical situation that can not actually occur)

Kelvin
