The resistance that one object encounters when moving over another.
What is friction?
100
The law of inertia: an object at rest stays at rest until acted upon by an outside force.
What is Newton's First Law of Motion?
100
A prediction about what will happen with an experiment.
What is the hypothesis.
100
Watching and noticing events that happen during an experiment.
What is observation.
100
A spring scale measures weight, and has a spring connected to a hook at one end and what is weighed at the other end.
What is a spring scale?
200
It is a natural occurance that pulls things with mass downward causing them to have weight.
What is gravity?
200
An object in motion stays in motion until acted upon by an outside force.
What is Newton's Second Law of Motion?
200
The information you collect from the experiment (quantitative numbers or qualitative descriptions).
What is data.
200
Things you need to complete your experiment.
What is materials.
200
A scale that balances two objects at the same time to determine an equal weight.
What is a balance scale?
300
A magnetic field caused by electric charges.
What is a magnetic field?
300
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?
300
The results of the experiment.
What is the conclusion.
300
To repeat the experiment.
What is to replicate.
300
A magnet is a material that produces a magnetic field which attracts other objects.
What is a magnet?
400
When there is zero net force, an object is in equillibrium, and it is not movng.
What is balanced forces?
400
The motion of an object measured as a product of its mass and velocity.
What is momentum?
400
The steps you tak to complete an experiment.
What is procedures.
400
An experiment designed to answer a question.
What is an investigation.
400
A magnet where the magnetic field is produced by an electric current.
What is an electromagnet?
500
An unbalanced force occurs when two unequal forces cause an object to speed up, slow down, change directions, or stop.
What is unbalanced forces?
500
A tendency to do nothing or remain unchanged.
What is inertia?
500
Parts of an experiment that can be changed and can afffect the results of an experiment. IV - Independent variable "IF" DV - Dependent variable "THEN"
What is variables.
500
The process scientists follow to complete an investigation (question, hypothesis, materials, procedure...).
What is the scientific method?
500
A magnetic instrument used for navigating directions.
What is a compass?
