gradation

small lines in between regular #s

place of significance

you can find the place of significance by dividing the gradation/10

precision vs accuracy

precision- you get the same thing over and over repeatedly


accuracy- you get an a for hitting in the right spot

matter

anything that has mass and takes up space

mass

measurement of the matter in an object

volume

the amount of space the matter occupies

density

the material in a given volume

substancedensi

a single kind of matter that is pure meaning that it always has a specific makeup or composition and a specific set of properties

element

pure substance that can not be broken down into any other susbtances by chemical or physical neds

compound

pure substance made of 2 or more elements chemically combined in a set radio (co2)

mixture

made up of 2 or more substances, elements, compounds, or both- they are together in the same place but are not chemically combined

homogeneous mixture

so evenly mixed that you cant see all the different parts

heterogeneous mixture

you can only see the different parts

physical change

change that alters the form or appearance of matter but does not make any substance in the matter into a different substance

chemical change

the change in matter that produces one or more new substances

physical property

characteristic of a pure substance that can be observed without changing it into another substance

chemical property

a characteristic of a pure substance that describes its ability to change into different substances

energy

the ability to do work or cause change

what are the types of energy and an example for each of them

thermal energy, kinetic energy, potential energy, chemical energy, electromagnetic energy, and electrical energy (temperature?)

thermal energy

the total energy of all of the particles in an object

kinetic energy

energy of matter in motion


a rolling bowling ball going to hit down the pins

potential energy

the energy an object has because of its positions


when a diver climbs up to a diving board

chemical energy

a form of potential energy that is stored in the chemical bonds between atoms


electromagnetic energy

a form of energy that travels through space as waves


heat waves from lamps


electrical energy

energy of electrically charged particles moving from one place to another
