The thing you change

33
Q

Measure variable

A

The thing you measure

34
Q

Control variable

A

The thing that stays the same

35
Q

Good quality evidence needs to be…

A

Accurate and reliable

36
Q

Accuracy

A

How correct something is to its real value. Depends on the correct measuring device, calculation, controlling variables and the skill of the experiment.

37
Q

Reliability

A

How trustworthy something is. Repeating measurements allow you to be more certain about them.

38
Q

Best quality data will be…

A

Repeatable and reproducible, with a small range of values and few or no anomalous results.

39
Q

Data that is repeatable and reproducible is said to be…

A

Reliable

40
Q

Repeatable

A

Able to be done again. If the experiment repeats using the same method and equipment and gets the same results.

41
Q

Reproducible

A

Able to be reproduced or copied. If other people get similar or close results by using different equipment or method.

42
Q

What happens when metal reacts with acids?

A

The metal fizzes as effervescence occurs and the metal seems to disappear into the solution.

43
Q

Effervescence

A

Bubbles in a liquid

44
Q

How do you know chemical reaction is happening?

A

Colour change, effervescence, change of temperature, precipitation, odor.

45
Q

Alloy

A

When a metal has different materials added to it, or mixed with carbon

46
Q

Stainless steel is made by…

A

Melting iron and adding carbon, chromium and nickel.

47
Q

Stainless steel does not…

A

Rust

48
Q

Solder is made by…

A

Melting lead and adding tin.

49
Q

Solder melts at what temperature?

A

Lower temperatures than lead

50
Q

What is solder used for?

A

A ‘glue’ for electrical circuits.

51
Q

The atoms in a pure metal are…

A

Arranged in layers

52
Q

Adding an element with bigger atoms will…

A

Disrupt the packing of the metal atoms, making them harder to move and less malleable.

53
Q

The malleability of a metal is due to…

A

The layers sliding over one another.

54
Q

Boiling and melting points of pure metals are…

A

Fixed

55
Q

Boiling and melting points of alloys are…

A

Different or have a range depending on the composition of the alloy.
