Parts of an Experiment
Independent Variable (IV): The factor that is changed or controlled in a scientific experiment. [cause]
Spanish: Variable independiente
Chinese: 独立变量 (Dúlì biànliàng)
Dependent Variable (DV): The factor that is measured or observed in a scientific experiment.[effect]
Spanish: Variable dependiente
Chinese: 因变量 (Yīn biànliàng)
Control: The standard to which comparisons are made in an experiment. [It is kept constant or the same]
Spanish: Control
Chinese: 对照 (Duìzhào)
Scientific Method: Involves forming a hypothesis and conducting experiments to observe and analyze how variables interact.
Spanish: Método científico
Chinese: 科学方法 (Kēxué fāngfǎ)
Engineering Design: Focuses on creating solutions by identifying problems, designing prototypes or models, and testing solutions.
Spanish: Diseño de ingeniería
Chinese: 工程设计 (Gōngchéng shèjì)
Physical Science ONLY
Definition: A force is a push or pull upon an object resulting from the object's interaction with another object.
Spanish: Empujar o tirar
Chinese: 推或拉 (Tuī huò lā)
Contact Forces

Definition: Forces that occur when two objects are in physical contact with each other.
Examples:
Friction: A force that opposes motion between two surfaces.
Tension: A force transmitted through a string, cable, or wire.
Spanish: Fuerzas de contacto
Chinese: 接触力 (Jiēchù lì)
Non-Contact Forces 
Definition: Forces that occur even when the objects are not in physical contact.
Examples:
Gravity: A force that attracts two bodies towards each other.
Electo Magnetic Force: The force produced by electrical and magnetic energy.
Spanish: Fuerzas no de contacto
Chinese: 非接触力 (Fēi jiēchù lì)
Definition: An object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force. This is often referred to as the law of inertia.
Spanish: La primera ley de Newton
Chinese: 牛顿第一定律 (Niúdùn dì yī dìnglǜ)
Definition: The tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion. It's directly related to the mass of the object.
Spanish: Inercia
Chinese: 惯性 (Guànxìng)

Force is a fundamental concept in the field of physics that plays a crucial role in our understanding of how objects interact with one another.
Broadly defined, force is any push or pull that can cause an object to change its state of motion. This means that when a force is applied to an object, it can start moving, stop moving, change direction, or even change shape. Forces come in various forms and can be classified into two main categories: contact forces and non-contact forces.
Contact forces occur when two objects touch each other. For example, when you kick a soccer ball, the force from your foot acts upon the ball, sending it flying across the field.
On the other hand, non-contact forces, such as gravity and magnetism, can exert influence over objects without any physical contact.
The force of gravity pulls everything toward the Earth, which is why we stay grounded.
Force is defined as a push or pull that can change an object's state of motion.

Gravity is considered a non-contact force.
Non-contact forces can influence objects without physical touch.
Contact forces arise only when objects do not touch each other.
When a soccer ball is kicked, the force from the foot affects the ball's motion.
Changing the shape of an object is one possible effect of applying force.
Forces cannot change the direction of an object's movement.
