TermDefinition
density mass per unit volume
density formula density = mass divided by volume d = m/v units = grams/cm cubed
momentum mass in motion
momentum formula momentum = mass times velocity p = m x v units= grams/meter/second
field of view The area visible through the microscope eyepiece (diameter)
physical characteristics Traits you can observe. Ex. hair color, eye color, number of legs
low power of classroom microscope 40x
course adjustment knob used first to bring an object into focus
insects 3 body sections 6 legs
arachnids 2 body sections 8 legs
Why would a bus have more momentum than a car if they were traveling at the same speed? It has more mass
Steps to solve a density problem 1. write formula 2. substitute numbers and units 3. solve include units and round to tenth 0.1
A block of wood 4.0 cm on each side has a mass of 48.8 g. What is the density of the block? Will it sink or float? 1. v = l x w x h v = 4cm x 4 cm x 4 cm v = 64 cm cubed 2. d = m/v d = 48.8g/64 cm cubed d = 0.8 g/ cm cubed It would float, because its density is less than 1.
What would happen to the density of a block if it was cut in half? It would stay the same because density doesn't change.
chemical change any change that causes a new substance to be formed
physical change a type of change where the physical properties of matter change

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
