23
Q

Temperature

A

A measure of fast the particles in an object are moving

24
Q

Median

25
Mode
Value that occurs most often
26
Range
Difference between largest and smallest
27
Mean
The average, adding data together and then dividing by the number of data
28
Graduated cylinder
Measure volume of liquid
29
Spring scale
Measures force
30
Safety rules
Tie hair back Safety goggles Never taste or smell any substance Listen to teacher's instruction, ask questions Use chemicals carefully Help keep plants and animals that use safe Read activity carefully before you start Handle sharp items and other equipment carefully
31
Thermometer
Measure temperature
32
Balance
Measure mass
33
Meter stick
To measure length and distance
34
Microscope
Makes objects appear much larger
35
Control group
Is a standard against which change is measured. In an experiment group is the same as the control group except one factor has changed
36
Scientific method
Organized ways to answer questions and solve problems. Also ways of discovering cause and effect
37
Variable
Something that can change in a test. An independent variable is one you can control. A dependent variable changes when an independent variable changes. A simple investigation should test only one variable at a time.
38
Experiment
The use of scientific methods to test a hypothesis
39
Sampling
Scientists examine random individuals from a population
40
Model
Objects or ideas that represent other things. They show how something is constructed or how it worked
41
Procedure
Step-by-step instruction for completing a task
42
Survey
Can be questionaries that are given to a number a people whose answer are recorded and then analyzed. Sometimes people are interviewed in person or on phone
43
Depended variable
When an independent variable changes
44
Independent variable
One you can control
45
Gram
a metric unit of mass equal to one thousandth of a kilogram.
46
Kilogram
Equals 1000 gram
47
Meter
the fundamental unit of length in the metric system, equal to 100 centimeters or approximately 39.37 inches.
48
Centimeters
a metric unit of length, equal to one hundredth of a meter.
49
Newton
X
50
Atomic arrangement
the structure of an atom, theoretically consisting of a positively charged nucleus surrounded and neutralized by negatively charged electrons revolving in orbits at varying distances from the nucleus, the constitution of the nucleus and the arrangement of the electrons differing with various chemical elements.
51
Chemical symbol
chemical symbol. noun. an abbreviation or short representation of a chemical element; the symbols in the periodic table. Natural elements all have chemical symbols of one or two letters; some manmade elements have three-letter symbols.
52
Atomic number and atomic mass
The atomic number uniquely identifies a chemical element. In an uncharged atom, the atomic number is also equal to the number of electrons. The atomic number, Z, should not be confused with the mass number, A, which is the number of nucleons, the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom
