A scientific guess to explain an occurrence

Hypothesis

Scientist use a set standard for conducting research called the

Scientific method

Order of scientific method

1. Observe/ question and research 2.develop a hypothesis 3. Develop a controlled experiment 4. Record data. 5. Analyze data 6.evaluate results: come up with a conclusion


An experiment that contains only one experiment variable

Controlled experiment

The periodic table shows what

All of the elements and their properties

2 or more elements linked chemically

Compound

2 or more atoms held together by covalent bonds

Molecule

Very small units of matter

Atoms

All living things and non living things are composed of

Atoms

Subatomic particles

Protons +


Neutrons +/-


Electrons -

Atoms can join together through

Chemical bonding

Two major types of bonds

Covalent and ionic bonds

Strongest bonds where atoms share electrons

Covalent bonds

Usually 2 elements that are closest together on the periodic table

Electrons

The thing being tested

An experimental or independent variable

Water is a ..... bonded substance

Covalently

Oppositely charged atoms are attracted to one another

Ionic bond

Usually a metal and a non metal

Ionic bond

Makes up 65 to 95 percent of most living things

Water

Water is the universal solvent meaning...

Many things can easily dissolve in it

Sticks together very well

Cohesion

The cohesion allows it to form droplets making a kind of membrane called

Surface tension

Water can be

Cohesive and adhesive

When water sticks to something else

Adhesion

What cannot mix with water

Oil

Variables or conditions that stay the same in an experiment

Constant

Water is

Polar (has a slight charge)

Can absorb lots of heat energy
