Q

Writing Equivalence Statement

A
  1. ) Always start with the unit with the prefix (i.e. km, cm, mg, mL…)
  2. ) Always relate back to the base unit (e. m, g, L)
  3. ) The number “1” always goes with the unit with the prefix
  4. ) The scientific notation always goes with the base unit.

A

The amount of 3-D space occupied by a substance

Takes up…

21
Q

Mass

A

quantity of matter present IN an object

22
Q

Length

A

Distance of a given length

23
Q

Density = mass/volume

A

the amount of matter present in a given volume of a substance

24
Q

Hypothesis

A

possible solutions to the problem or possible explanations for the observations.

25
Q

K = C + 273.15

A

F = C × 1.8 + 32

26
Q

C = ( F - 32) / 1.8

A

F = C × 1.8 + 32

26
Q

Sci method step 2

A

2.) Formulate hypotheses. A possible explanation from the observation.

27
Q

Sci method #3

A

3.) Perform experiments. -test the hypothesis
