| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Scientific Method Steps | Make observations & identify a problem; Form a hypothesis; Test the hypothesis; Record & analyze data; Draw a conclusion |
| Observation (Qualitative) | Descriptive, non-numerical (color, smell, texture) |
| Observation (Quantitative) | Numerical (mass = 10 g, volume = 5 mL) |
| Independent Variable | The variable that is changed |
| Dependent Variable | The variable that is measured or observed |
| Science | Gaining knowledge about the natural world |
| Technology | Applying knowledge to make tools/products |
| Hypothesis | Testable proposed explanation |
| Scientific Theory | Well-tested explanation, explains how/why |
| Scientific Law | Describes what happens, predicts results, no explanation |
| Kinetic-Molecular Theory | Matter is made of particles in constant motion; particles have space; particles have energy; temperature = average kinetic energy; attractive forces stronger when particles are closer |
| Solid Properties | Definite shape & volume; particles tightly packed, vibrate in place; strong attraction; low energy |
| Liquid Properties | Definite volume, no definite shape; particles close but slide; medium attraction & energy |
| Gas Properties | No definite shape or volume; particles far apart, move very fast; weak attraction; high energy |
| Energy & Particle Spacing | More energy → more space between particles |
| Matter | Has mass and volume |
| Mass | Amount of matter |
| Volume | Space occupied |
| Pure Substance | Fixed composition, one type of particle |
| Element | One type of atom, cannot be broken down (e.g., H₂, O₂, Fe) |
| Compound | Two or more elements chemically bonded, definite formula (e.g., H₂O, NaCl) |
| Mixture | Physical combination, variable composition, substances keep properties |
| Homogeneous Mixture | Uniform throughout (e.g., saltwater, air) |
| Heterogeneous Mixture | Not uniform, visible different parts (e.g., oil & water) |
| Filtration | Separates based on particle size |
| Distillation | Separates based on boiling point |
| Evaporation | Separates using vaporization |
| Decanting | Pouring off liquid layer |
| Physical Property | Observed without changing substance (density, color, melting point) |
| Extensive Property | Depends on amount (mass, volume) |
| Intensive Property | Does not depend on amount (density) |
| Chemical Property | Ability to form a new substance (rusting, burning, reacting with acid) |
| Physical Change | No new substance formed (melting, cutting, dissolving) |
| Chemical Change | New substance formed (rusting, burning, baking) |
| Density Formula | Density = mass ÷ volume |
| Mass Formula | Mass = density × volume |
| Volume Formula | Volume = mass ÷ density |
| Density Units | g/cm³ (solids), g/mL (liquids) |
