🗑
evaporation   liquid to gas (not boiling)  
🗑
Boyle's laws   states that when something's pressure goes up its volume goes down  
🗑
Charle's laws   states that when something's temp goes up so does its volume  
🗑

🗑
compound   2 or more elements that are chemically combined  
🗑
work   when a force causes an object to move in that direction w= f x d work= joules  
🗑
power   the rate at which work is done p= w/t  
🗑
solute   dissolved to form a solution  
🗑
solvent   substance in which solute is dissolved  
🗑
solutions   appears to be a single substance but is not  
🗑
solubility   amount of solute needed to make a saturated substance  
🗑
homogeneous mixture   a mixture that is in uniform  
🗑
heterogeneous mixture   doesn't have a uniform and has different properties  
🗑

🗑
potential energy   energy of position or shape p=w x h  
🗑
newton's first law   object at rest stays at rest, object in motion stays in motion / unless a force is acted upon it.  
🗑
newton's second law   states that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables- the net force acting upon the object and the mass of the object  
🗑

🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
