- 1Quantitativeyou can measure it with numbers (weight, height, size)
- 2Questionsomething you ask
- 3Hypothesisan educated guess
- 4Keythe thing that tells what’s what on the graph
- 5Y-axisthe line on a grid that goes from up to down
- 6X-axisthe line on a grid that goes from left to right
- 7Pictographa graph with mini pictures on a chart
- 8Scatter plota graph that has dot plotted randomly everywhere
- 9Circle graph/ Pie charta circle shaped graph that has slices
- 10Bar grapha graph with bars going up
- 11Line grapha graph with dots connected by lines
- 12Graphingto plot things on a graph
- 13Datacollected facts
- 14Correalationconnection
- 15Controlled Variablesthe things that stay the same
- 16Observationswhen your 5 senses are being used
- 17Inferencesconclusion based on thinking or feeling
- 18Qualitativeyou can describe it with words (colors, shape, texture,taste, smell)
- 19Scientific Methodprocess used to learn about the natural world(question, research, hypothesis, experiment, observation, analyze/concussion, checking your hypothesis)
- 20Independent Variablesthe thing you change in the experiment
- 21Researchinvestigation
- 22Conclusionending
- 23Analysisstudy
- 24Materialsthe stuff used to do your experiment
- 25Procedurethe steps of your experiment
- 26experimenttest/trial
- 27Distancescalar; “how much ground an object has covered”
- 28Distancevector, “how far an object” (change in position)
- 29Speedscalar”how fast an object is moving”
- 30Velocityvector; “the rate at which an object changes position”
- 31Accelerationhow much an object is changing
- 32Scalar(like distance) are “ignorant to others”
- 33Vectorsimilar to speed
- 34Forcean energy
- 35Massquantity of matter in a object
- 36Weightthe force of gravity on an object
- 37Inertianewton’s 1st law, objects at rest stay at rest, objects in motion stay in motion unless disturbed by an outside force.
- 38Net forcecombination of all forces acting on an object
- 39Newtonsa unit named after Isaac
- 40Kilogramsa unit
- 41Velocity formulav= distance / time
- 42Accerleration forumlaacceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time
- 43Force formulaforce = mass x acceleration
- 44Weight formulaweight = mass x 9.8 N
- 45Net force formulanet force = sum of all forces
