Question 6

Step 6 of scientific method

Answer 6

Collect Data

Question 7

Meter

Answer 7

the fundamental unit of length in the metric system, equal to 100 centimeters or approximately 39.37 inches.

Question 8

Liter

Answer 8

a metric unit of capacity, formerly defined as the volume of 1 kilogram of water under standard conditions, now equal to 1,000 cubic centimeters (about 1.75 pints).

Question 9

Gram

Answer 9

a metric unit of mass equal to one thousandth of a kilogram.

Question 10

Volume

Answer 10

the amount of space that a substance or object occupies, or that is enclosed within a container, especially when great.

Question 11

Mass

Answer 11

is both a property of a physical body and a measure of its resistance to acceleration (a change in its state of motion) when a net force is applied. It also determines the strength of its mutual gravitational attraction to other bodies. The basic SI unit of mass is the kilogram (kg).

Question 12

Density - comparison of the mass to the volume of an object

Answer 12

often has units of grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm3). Remember, grams

Question 13

Area

Answer 13

Area is the quantity that expresses the extent of a two-dimensional figure or shape, or planar lamina, in the plane. Surface area is its analog on the two-dimensional surface of a three-dimensional object

Question 14

Celsius

Answer 14

The Celsius scale, previously known as the centigrade scale, is a temperature scale used by the International System of Units. As an SI derived unit, it is used by all countries except the United States and Liberia. It is named after the Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius, who developed a similar temperature scale

Question 15

Experimental group - the group that DOES receive the treatment in an experiment

Answer 15

An experimental group (sometimes called a treatment group) is a group that receives a treatment in an experiment. The “group” is made up of test subjects (people, animals, plants, cells etc.) and the “treatment” is the variable you are studying.Oct 1, 2015

Question 16

Control group - the group that does NOT receive the treatment in an experiment

Answer 16

experiments in which subjects are assigned randomly to an experimental group that receives a treatment or other manipulation of the independent variable and a comparison group that does not receive the treatment or receives some other manipulation in a posttest.

Question 17

Variable

Answer 17

not consistent or having a fixed pattern; liable to change.

Question 18

Controlled experiment

Answer 18

A scientific control is an experiment or observation designed to minimize the effects of variables other than the independent variable. This increases the reliability of the results, often through a comparison between control measurements and the other measurements.

Question 19

Hypothesis

Answer 19

a supposition or proposed explanation made on the basis of limited evidence as a starting point for further investigation.

Question 20

Scientific methods

Answer 20

a method of procedure that has characterized natural science since the 17th century, consisting in systematic observation, measurement, and experiment, and the formulation, testing, and modification of hypotheses.
