Science Final Vocab
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Kinetic Energy | Energy in Motion |
| Potential Energy | Stored Energy |
| Mass | The more of this you have the more kinetic energy you have |
| Claim | Restate and answer the problem of the experiment in a full sentence |
| Quantitative Observation | Using numbers from a data table to support your claim |
| Energy Transfer | The first item transfers energy to the second item when they collide the first item would lose energy and the second gains energy |
| Gravity | The force that pulls things toward Earth |
| Volume | The amount of space an object takes up |
| Density | Formula is mass/volume liquids will layer according to their density the biggest density will sink to the bottom and the smallest density will layer on top (WATER has a density of ONE) |
| Solid | Particles are tightly packed and vibrate a little |
| Liquid | Particles take the shape of their container and are more spread out then in a solid |
| Gas | Particles are very spread out and bounce |
| Evaporation | A liquid changes to a gas The sun or heat will do this quicker |
| Mixture | Can be separated by evaporation, magnetism, solubility, and filtration |
| Filtration | Using water and filter paper to separate a mixture. (A mixture of water and sand) |
| Open System | The mass of a substance would change since it is open to the air |
| Closed System | The mass of a substance would not change if it is confined and cannot escape |
| Conservation of Matter | The total number of atoms on the left side of the chemical equation (reactants) must equal the total of number of atoms on the right side of the equation (Products) |
| Fermal Energy | As you add more of this, the temperature will increase and the particles will move faster |
| Elements | Count the capital letters to determine the number of elements in a compound |
| Coefficient | The big number in front of a compound - No number means one molecule |
| Ball and Stick Model | The subscript (Small number after an element) tells the number of atoms of that element. No number means one atom |
| Chemical Reaction | Something new is formed |
| Magnetism | A way of separating a mixture that contains iron filings |
| Electromagnet | Made with a nail, coiled wire, and a battery. One way to increase the strength is by using a higher voltage battery |
| Trials | The more times you do and experiment the more accurate (Reliable) the data will be with less errors |
| Series Circuit | ONE Pathway for electricity to flow. If one bulb goes out the whole circuit goes out. All bulbs will have the same brightness |
| Parallel Circuit | Has MANY pathways for electricity to flow. If one bulb goes out, the rest stays on. Used in buildings, schools, homes, stores. |
| Endothermic | Energy is absorbed. Temperature goes down |
| Exothermic | Energy is released and the temperature goes up |
| Carbon dioxide and Water Vapor | They are both gases |
| Bar Graph | A graph that has bars |
| Solubility | How quickly something dissolves. If you raise the temperature, this will increase |
