What is a Quantitative and Qualitative Observation?

Quantitative-uses numbers

Qualitative-uses the 5 senses

100

Why must we have multiple constants in an experiment?

Because it allows scientists to have accurate data

200

During the phase change condensation, is thermal energy being added or removed? Explain WHY

It is being removed because the particles are slowing down.

  1. What unit do scientists use to measure small lengths?

Centimeters

Name the difference between an independent variable and a dependent variable

Independent variable- variable that changes in an experiment

Dependent Variable- variable that is measured in the experiment

You pour a volume of 25 ml into a large beaker for an experiment. During this time, you realize you can also use a thinner graduated cylinder. You pour all of the water inside the graduated cylinder. What is the volume?

25 ML, the volume of a liquid does not change

400

Freezing _____________________ thermal energy

___________________to ______________________

Removes thermal energy, Liquid to Solid

400

I have a indefinite volume, but no definite shape, I roam freely around the space I am in

What is a Gas

Ms.Halligan wants to measure how much water she will need to fill the entire classroom of Villanova from floor to ceiling. What unit can she use to accomplish this task?

Liters-not a large amount of space

400

You went to the nurse and got a cold pack for an injury in gym. The cold pack was never in a freezer but it feels cold on your bruised knee. You need to figure out the volume of the icepack and its specific temperature. What tools will you need to use to identify the temperature and volume of liquid?

Thermometer and Graduated Cylinder (Beaker)

400

During the phase change melting, is thermal energy being added or removed? Explain how you know

Added because it is changing from a solid to a liquid so the speed is increasing and the particles are moving farther apart.

500

Compare the motion of solid particles and liquid particles

Solid particles vibrate in place and move slowly. Liquid particles slide past each other and have more room to move around.

500

Water vapor is a example of which state of matter?

What is a Gas

Ms. Santucci decides one day that she wants to do a science experiment. She wants to go BIG! So she decides she wants to figure out: which cohort weighs the most? She breaks out her triple beam balance and her clipboard to record data but realizes, she doesn't know what units to use. What units should she use?

Kilograms because this is a large amount.

500

You identify the independent variable as the mass of the ice and the dependent variable as how quickly the ice melts. What is a scientific question you could make?

Does the mass of ice affect how quickly the ice melts?

500

What grade will we all receive on the Science IA?
