Beaker
A sheet exhibiting information in tabular form.
Chart
The boundry of a circle
Circumference
A plural of datum
Data
A measure of the quantity of some physical property (usually mass) per unit length, area, or volume
Density
A straight line segment that passes through the center of a circle or sphere from one side to the other
Diameter
The weight or volume of a fluid displaced by a floating body, used especialy as a measurement of the weight or bulk ships
Displacement
A statement that explains or makes generalizations about a set of facts or principles, usually forming a basis for possible experiments to confirm its viability
Hypothesis
A narrow, cylindrical container marked with horizontal lines to represent units of measurement and used to precisely measure the volume of liquids
Graduated cylinder
A diagram showing the relationship of quantities, especially such a diagram in which lines, bars, or changes with another
Graph

Length
A measure of the amount of matter contained in or constituting a physical body
Mass
To see, watch, perceive, or notice
Observing
The sum of lengths of the segments that form the sides of a polygon
Perimeter
The investigation of hatural Phenomena through observation, theoretical explanation and experimentation, or the knowledge produced by a such investigation
Science
A method of research in which a problem is identified, relevant data are gathered, a hypothesis is formuated especially one that is allowed to change in a scientific experiment
Scientific Method
A factor or condition that is subject to change, especially one that is allowed to change in a scientific experiment to test a hypothesis
Variable
The amount of space occupied by a three-dimensional object or rejoin of space
Volume
The force with which an object near the Earth or another celestial body is attracted toward the center of the body by gravity.
