100
actor being measured or observed in an experiment
What is dependent variable
100
a physical change that occurs when matter changes to another state (i.e., liquid, gas, or solid)
What is change of state
100
the process of changing from a gas (i.e., water vapor) to a liquid (i.e., dew); the act of making more dense or compact
What is condensation
100
A particle object or system that lacks at net charge

100
Force of air on moving objects
What is air resistance
200
a set of objects, organisms, or different parts acting to form a whole
What is system
200
an interconnection of electrical elements forming a complete path for the flow of current
What is circuit
200
the transmission of heat through a medium and without the motion of the medium
What is conduction
200
a stable elementary particle that is negatively charged and orbits the nucleus of an atom
What is electron
200
The peak or highest point on a wave
What is crest
300
the factor that is changed in an experiment in order to study changes in the dependent variable
What is independent variable
300
a reaction or a change in a substance produced by chemical means that results in producing a different chemical
What is chemical changes
300
heat transfer in a gas or liquid by the circulation of currents from one region to another
What is convection
300
the smallest unit of a chemical element that can still retain the properties of that element
What is atoms
300
in any periodic function (e.g., a wave) the maximum absolute variation of the function
What is amplitude
400
a procedure that is carried out in order to observe a response caused by a stimulus; not a complete experimen
What is investigation
400
a substance made up of a combination of two or more elements held together by chemical bonds that cannot be separated by physical means
What is compound
400
a fundamental principle stating energy cannot be created nor destroyed but only changed from one form to another
What is conservation of energy
400
a substance that cannot be reduced to a simpler substance by chemical means
What is element
400
the change in direction of a wave caused by passing by an obstacle or traveling through an opening
What is diffraction
500
a procedure that is carried out and repeated under controlled conditions in order to discover, demonstrate, or test a hypothesis; includes all components of the scientific method
What is experiment
500
concentration of matter of an object; number of individuals in the same species that live in a given area; the mass per unit volume of a substance in a given area
What is density
500
unit of energy; the amount of heat needed to raise one gram of water one degree Celsius at standard atmospheric pressure
What is calorie
500
a subatomic particle having zero charge, found in the nucleus of an atom
What is nuetron
500
rate of change in velocity, usually expressed in meters per second; involves an increase or decrease in speed and/or a change in direction
What is acceleration
