| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Variable | anything in an experiment that you can change that might effect the outcome |
| Independent Variable | Variable that is changed by the experimenter |
| Dependent Variable | Variable that will change due to the independent variable changing |
| Constant Variable | Variable that is controlled not change |
| Controlled Experiment | When one variable is change |
| Standard | Basic procedure used in a controlled experiment, before changing any variables |
| Capacity | Greatest amount of fluid a container will hold |
| Density | amount of matter that will fit in a given space |
| Archimedes | Used displaced waterto reveal characteristics |
| Galileo | First to propose that pendulums could keep track of time |
| Wright Brothers | Invented and flew the first plane |
| Bessie Coleman | First black woman to get her pilots license |
| Chuck Yeager | first pilot to break a sound barrier |
| List the steps of the scientific method | 1.Ask a question 2.Form a hypothesis 3.Design experiment 4.Analyze results 5.Draw conclusion |
| What variables were tested in the pendulum system | Length of string, drop height, mass of pendulum bob |
| What is the relationship between the length of string and the number of cycles a pendulum makes | The longer the string the less swings |
| What variables affect how many pass. can fit in a boat in the boat experiment | Capacity of boat, condition of water, and placement of pennies |
| what is the relationship between the capacity of the boat and the # to sink a boat | Greater capacity the greater the pennies |
| What is the relationship between the mass of the plane and the distance it can fly | The more mass the less distance |
| Explain what determinds weather an object will sink or flat |
