Intro to Science
Name 2 pieces of safety equipment
Lab coat, safety glasses, gloves, closed-in shoes
What colour is the safety flame?
Yellow
Name of variable that is changed during an experiment
Independent variable
What is a thermometer used for?
Measuring temperature
What are the 'materials'?
List of equipment that you need to complete the experiment
Name 2 classroom expectations in Science
1. Be prepared
2. Be respectful
3. Follow instructions
4. Keep workbook neat and organised
5. Have fun
How do you get the roaring flame?
Turn the collar so that the hole is open
Name of variable that is measured during an experiment
Dependent variable
When do we need to use a heatproof mat?
Whenever we use the Bunsen Burner
What is the method?
Step-by-step instructions of how to complete an experiment
What is a safety hazard?
Something that may cause harm or injury to a person (something dangerous)
What type of flame is the hottest?
Roaring flame
What is a controlled variable?
What unit is used for the weight of an object?
Grams (g) or kilograms (kg)
What are some things that you can put in a 'results' section?
Table, graph, written observations, measurements of data, pictures of experiment
What does an astrologist study?
Space (planets, stars, asteroids, galaxies)
Why is it important to have the safety flame on when we aren't using the Bunsen burner?
So everyone can see that the Bunsen burner is on.
If I wanted test which soft drink (fanta, coke or lemonade) has the fastest reaction with mentos. What is the independent variable?
Soft drink type
What piece of equipment do we measure liquids in and what the unit of measurement we use?
Measuring cylinder
mL or L
What is the difference between 'aim' and 'hypothesis'?
Aim: question or statement about what you hope to discover in an experiment
Hypothesis: a prediction about what you think is going to happen in the experiment
What does a 'fair test' mean?
A test where only ONE variable is changed,
while all others are kept the same
What are the steps for lighting a Bunsen Burner?
1. check tube for holes
2. make sure the hole is closed
3. light match
4. turn on gas
5. hold match over bunsen burner
If I wanted test which soft drink (fanta, coke or lemonade) has the fastest reaction with mentos. What is the dependent variable?
How long it takes for mentos to react with each soft drink type
What does 'qualitative' data and 'quantitative' data mean?
Qualitative: recording data with words (e.g., observations)
Quantitative: recording data with numbers (e.g., measurements)
Put into the correct order: conclusion, title, aim, method, materials, results, hypothesis, discussion
Title, aim, hypothesis, materials, method, results, discussion, conclusion
