scientific method
observation, research, hypothesis, test w experiment, analyze, concluded
model
a pattern, plan, representation, or description designed to show the structure or workings of an object, system, or concept
system
a set of particles or interacting components considered to be a distinct physical entity for the purpose of study
hypothesis
an educated guess, explanation based on prior research
controlled experiment
test one factor at a time by comparing a control group w an experimental group
length
measures the distance btwn two points, how long/tall/or deep an object is, used to measure one and two dimensional objects
time
used to quantify, measure, or compare the duration of events or intervals btwn them
mass
the amount of matter an object contains
