the steps of the scientific method
1. Ask a question
2. Form a hypothosis
3. Test it
4. Analyze data
5. Draw a conclusion
6. Communicate results
what is the scientific method?
the steps a scientist takes to find the answer to a question
what is a hypothesis?
an educated guess
Units for distance/length/height?
meters
units for mass
grams
units for volume
liters
King Henry's ladder
kilo, hecta, deca, base, deci, centi, mili
for liquids you determine the volume by reading the bottom of the?
meniscus
for solids it is filled with a specific volume of water, the solid is added to this volume, and the difference in the volume is recorded. what is this process called?
water displacement
matter
anything that has a mass and takes up space
mass
the amount of matter in an object
volume
how much space an object takes up
calculation for density?
m/v=d
weight
the gravitational force of an object
atom
a basic particle from which a molecule is made
endothermic
energy is absorbed
exothermic
energy is released
element
a substance that can't be broken down into any substance by physical and chemical means
compound
has 2 or more elements
mixture
two substances mixed together but not chemically combined
law of conservation of mass
nothing is added or lost, just rearranged
thermal energy
the total motion of all particle in an object
how do you find the density of a regular shaped object
measuring with a metric ruler
what are 2 differences with mass and weight?
mass does not change, but weight depends on where you are. weight is measure of gravitational force and mass in the amount of matter in an object.

3 things that show a chemical change may be occurring?
different color, odor, bubbling, sound, light
5 ways to separate a mixture
seave, filter, pick by hand, magnetism, centrifuge
what are two types of mixtures?
homogeneous and heterogeneous
how do the 2 types of mixtures differ?
homogeneous is when mixtures easily blend and combine together, heterogeneous is when you can see the difference is the two mixtures and i doesn't blend easily

describe particle arrangement and motion in a solid
very tight, close together. moves in place, vibrates
describe particle arrangement and motion in a liquid
close but can still slowly move around while bumping into each other
describe particle arrangement and motion in a gas
spread out, moving rapidly
describe the shape and volume of a solid
a definite shape and volume
describe the shape and volume of a liquid
an indefinite shape and a definite volume
describe the shape and volume of a gas
indefinite shape and volume
what are 2 types of solids?
crystalline and amorphous
how do the 2 types of solids differ?
crystalline has no specific pattern of particles and no specific melting point and amorphous has a specific pattern of particles and a specific melting point
viscosity
a liquid's resistance to flow
surface tension
force among molecules in a liquid that brings molecules on a surface close together
fluid
a substance that flows
pressure
force/area
charles law and a example
when temperature increases/decreases so does the volume like a hot air balloon
boyles law and a example
when pressure goes up, volume goes down or when pressure goes down, volume goes up. like bubbles under water while scuba diving get bigger as they rise to the top
change of state
when a solid turns into a liquid or a gas, when a liquid turns into a solid or a gas, when a gas turns into a liquid
what is the correct term for the following change of state?
a solid to a liquid
melting
what is the correct term for the following change of state?
liquid to a gas
evaporation
what is the correct term for the following change of state?gas to a liquid
condensation
what is the correct term for the following change of state?
liquid to a solid
freezing
what is the correct term for the following change of state?
solid to a gas
sublimation
what happens to the change in particles as they change state?
they either get slower or faster and closer or more separated
what are two types of vaporization?
evaporation and boiling
how do the 2 types of vaporization differ?
evaporation is when a water turns into a gas and boiling just bubbles as it gets hotter and it needs to be hotter then evaporation
