Weight is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume.
On the Kelvin scale, water freezes at 0°C and boils at 100°C.
An object will float if it is less dense than the surrounding liquid.
The balance is the tool used to measure mass.
The basic unit for measuring volume is the kilogram.
Scientists control changes in the responding variable.
To help you see what the data from an experiment mean, you could use a(n) graph.
Line graphs display data that show how the responding variable changes in response to the manipulated variable.
A point that does not fall exactly on a graph line is a(n) anomalous data point.
Some systems have feedback.
Scientists use models to understand things they can observe directly.
When they use models, scientists keep in mind that predictions based on models are certain.
What happens in a system is called input.
What would you be most likely to measure by immersing an object in water and seeing how much the water level rises?
Which is a common unit of density?
On what number is the metric system based?
A low percent error indicates that the result you obtained is:
Which term refers to how close a group of measurements are to each other?
Which of the following is the middle number in a set of data?
If you add up the values in a data set and then divide the sum by the total number of values, the result will be the
On which of the following graphs do data points yield a straight line?
When a graph does NOT have any clear trends, it probably means that the variables are which of the following?
On a nonlinear graph, the data points are never which of the following?
Where do you conduct a science investigation in the field?
When doing a science investigation, what should be your chief concern?
Scientists often rely on a(n)
number.
When you multiply measurements, the answer should only have the
same number of significant figures as the measurement with the
figures.
A reliable measurement is both
Calculating percent error and checking the reasonableness of data are two of the
