MAJOR WORDS IN NC 8TH GRADE SCIENCE
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Safety Goggles | Eyes equipment for protection |
| Misleading Graphs | Graphs or charts meant to persuade you into thinking or acting a certain way. |
| Scientific Method | a method of research in which a problem is identified, relevant data are gathered, a hypothesis is formulated from these data, and the hypothesis is empirically tested. |
| Hypothesis | a proposition, or set of propositions, set forth as an explanation for the occurrence of some specified group |
| States of Matter | Solids, Liquids and Gases |
| Phase Changes | Changing from one state of matter to the next. Its a physical change like ice to water or water to a gas. |
| Density | the state or quality of being dense; compactness; closely set or crowded condition. How much air to solid ratio is inside an object. D=M/V |
| Homogeneous Mixtures | all of the same or similar kind or nature mixture - noun (chemistry) a substance consisting of two or more substances mixed together (not in fixed proportions and not with chemical bonding). Usually a liquid like chocolate milk. Hard to separate. |
| Heterogenous Mixtures | originating outside the body; consisting of elements that are not of the same kind or nature. So if you don't like the tomatoes in a salad you can pick them off very easily. |
