| smallest amount of a substance | atom |
| this can be tested by doing an experiment | hypothesis |
| system of measure used in science | metric system |
| the amount of space an object occupies | volume |
| atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons | isotopes |
| the variable in an experiment that you choose to change | manipulated variable |
| types of experiments we do in school | controlled experiments |
| the instrument we use to measure liquid volume | graduated cylindar |
| units for the mass of atom | amu |
| 2 or more elements chemically combined | compound |
| unit of mass | grams |
| has no definite shape or volume | gas |
| a system of knowledge and the methods you use to find that knowledge | science |
| what are the two branches of science (in general) | natural sciences and social sciences |
| To understand how nature behaves ex. earth science, botany, biology, zoology, geology, anatomy etc. | natural science |
| deals with human behavior ex. psychology, sociology, etc. | social sciences |
| Which branch does physical science belong in? | Natural Science! |
| The study of matter and energy | Physical Science |
| What are the two branches of physical science? | Chemistry and Physics |
| (applied science) The use of knowledge to solve practical problems | technology |
| science and technology are... | interpendent |
| using your senses this is the most DIRECT way to gain knowledge of something | observe |
| when you put things together according to how they are alike in some way | classify |
| What two things does a measurement need to be correct? | a number and a unit |
| when exact numbers are not needed or impossible | estimate |
| when you suggest an explanation for an observation ex. lab safety signs | infer |
| a statement that can be tested (an educated guess) | to hypothesize |
| we do this to test a hypothesis | experiment |
| tables and graphs are used to.... | organize (data) |
| looking for trends in your data | analyze |
| when you say that you think something might happen what are you doing? | predicting |
| an organized plan for gathering organizing and communicating information, the goal of any scientific method is to solve a problem or to better understand an observed event | the scientific method |
| Steps to the scientific method: | 1. Observe something in nature 2. Ask questions and do research 3. Form a hypothesis 4.Test a hypothesis by doing an experiment 5. Draw a conclusion |
| True or False: If a hypothesis doesn't turn out the way you want it too it is a failure. | False! No hypothesizes are failures they are learning lessons! |
| a variable that causes change in another | manipulated variable |
| the variable that changes in response to the manipulated variable | responding variable |
| Where only one variable is changed at a time is a | controlled experiment |
| Are theories considered qualitative or quanitative? | qualitative! |
| What unit does a triple beam balance measure? | Grams |
| What unit does a graduated cylinder measure? | Liters |
| What unit does a meter stick measure? | Meters |
| A way of writing very large or very small numbers to make them easier to work with | Scientific Notation |
| The simplest way to organize your data. This table relates at least two variables together | Data Tables |
| A graph that compares a part of something to the whole thing (100%) | Circle Graphs |
| A graph that is used to compare different categories to each other. | Bar Graphs |
| All graphs should contain: | 1. Title 2. Labeled Axis (x,y) 3.Scale of Numbers |
| made up of only one kind of atom and cannot be broken down into simpler substances | elements |
| shows how many atoms of each element are in a unit of a substance | Chemical Formula |
| After the elements symbol the number of atoms is written as a ______ | subscript |
| What is chemically combined, must be separated chemically components do not retain their original properties they change into something really different components must combine in the same amount every time | Pure Substances |
| Components must combine in the same amount every time is called the | Law of Definite Proportions |
| These are physically combined can be separated physically components must retain their original properties and components don't have to combine in the same amount every time | Mixtures |
| The substances are evenly distributed and it looks the same throughout | homogeneous mixtures |
| These substances are not evenly distributed and does not look the same throughout you can easily see different parts that make it up | heterogeneous mixtures |
| any characteristic of a material that can be observed or measured without changing the composition of the substances in the material, | Physical Property |
| Examples of physical properties: | color, shape, mass, density, solubility, odor, boiling point, freezing point, age, weight melting point, malleability, and etc. |
| Any ability to produce change in the composition of matter chemical properties can be observed only when the substances in a sample of matter are changing into different substances. | Chemical Property |
| Examples of Chemical Properties: | Reactivity and Flammability |
| When some of the properties of a material change, but the substances in the material remain the same some physical changes can be reversed and some cannot be reversed. | Physical Change |
| When a substance undergoes a chemical reaction and forms one or more new substances | Chemical Change |
| The amount of force that the particles of a gas strike the walls of their container | pressure |
| at a constant pressure the temperature of a gas the volume of that gas also increases (this is a direct relationship) | Charles's Law |
| a reversible physical change that occurs when a substance from one state of matter to another | phase change |
| when a liquid changes into a gas | boiling point |
| at what temperature does water boil? | 100 degrees |
| when a solid turns into a liquid | melting point |
| when a liquid changes into a solid | freezing point |

| the process of a substance changing from a gas directly into a solid and skipping the liquid phase | deposition |
| True or False: during a phase change the temperature of the substance remains the same even if heat is being added or taken away | True! |
| True or False: The melting and freezing point of a substance is the same temperature it just depends on whether you are adding heat or taking it away | True! |
