What is volume?

What is an observation?
300
20 centimeters, 30 kilograms, 40 minutes, 2 hours are all examples of ______ data. (qualitative or quantitative)
What is quantitative?
300
TRUE or FALSE: Upon entering the science lab, it's fine to pick up the materials and equipment as long as you put them back before the beginning of the lesson.
What is False? (Please do not touch until you know how to properly handle everything.)

After creating a hypothesis a scientist will often design an ____________to test it.
What is an experiment?

TRUE or FALSE: In fourth grade, wearing gloves and goggles is a requirement of every lab or experiment?
What is FALSE? (Many times the teachers will ask students to experiment or conduct an activity that does not require gloves or goggles, but as students get older this often becomes more necessary.)
400
Observed data that involves numbers.
What are quantitative observations?

What is Celsius (or Centigrade)?
500
Proper behavior or improper behavior: Student Bob is wearing goggles and gloves while reaching across a hot plate to get the lab instructions from his partner.
What is improper behavior? (While wearing goggles and gloves are often required during a lab - reaching ACROSS a hot plate for a PAPER is not wise!)
