| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Safety Goggles | Eye protection. Used when working with heat, chemicals or on teacher instruction. |
| Eye Wash Station | Used in case of emergency when chemicals haveentered eye. Used to rinse out eyes. |
| Finding Density | To find density, we use the term D=M/V, or Density= Mass/Volume. |
| Smelling Chemicals in the Lab | The correct way to smell things in the lab is to waft. |
| Where to Put Equipment in Lab | Keep all lab equipment away from the edge of the table so that it doesn't fall off. |
| Proton | A positively charged sub-atomic particle that determines the element. |
| The 5 Chemical Changes | Change in temperature, light produced, gas produced, color change and solid precipitate formed are the 5 changes. |
| Chemical Equation | A sentence that describes a chemical reaction. |
| Neutron | A sub-atomic particle with no charge that determines an isotope in an atom. |
| Electron | A negatively charged sub-atomic particle that determines an ion. |
| Balanced Force | When the net forces acting on an object are 0 it is balanced. The object will not move. |
| Unbalanced Force | When the net forces acting on an object are not 0. Object moves in direction of greatest applied force. |
| Speed Graph | Shows the distance traveled in a certain time limit. |
| Acceleration Graph | Shows the change in speed over a certain time limit. |
| Newton's 1st Law | The law of inertia-Objects tend to stay in motion or at rest until an unbalanced force acts upon them |
| Newton's 2nd Law | This law satates that Force=MassxAcceleration. |
| Newton's 3rd Law | For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. |
| Black Hole | An object said to be created by the supernova explosion of a large star, it is so dense and its gravitational pull is so strong that not even light can escape it. |
| Molecule | When 2 or more atoms chemically bond. |
| White Dwarf | What our sun will end up as. A small but extremely hot and dim object, it will continue to cool down until it becomes a black dwarf. |
