Includes Rationales
Chemistry - ANSWER the science that tries to understand how matter behaves by
studying how atoms and molecules behave.
Scientific Method - ANSWER a way of learning that emphasizes observation, and
experimentation-to understand the world.
Observation - ANSWER the measurment of some aspect of nature.
Hypothesis - ANSWER a tentative interpretation or explaination of the observations.
Experiments - ANSWER highly controlled observations designed to validate or
invalidate hypothesis.
Scientific Law - ANSWER a brief statement that synthesizes past observations and
predicts future ones.
Theory - ANSWER provide a broader and deeper explanation for observations and
laws.
Atomic Theory - ANSWER a theory stating that all matter is composed of tiny
particles called atoms.
Conversion Factor - ANSWER a factor used to convert between two separate units.
Decimal Part - ANSWER one part of a number expressed in scientific notation.
Density - ANSWER a fundamental property of materials that relates mass and
volume and differs from one substance to another.
English System - ANSWER a unit system commonly used in the United States.
Exponent - ANSWER a number that represents the number of times a term is
multiplied by itself.
Exponential Part - ANSWER one part of a number expressed in scientific notation.
International System (SI) - ANSWER the standard set of units for science
measurments, based on the metric system.
Kilogram - ANSWER the SI standard unit of mass
Mass - ANSWER a measure of the quantity of matter within an object.
, Meter (m) - ANSWER the SI standard unit of length.
Metric System - ANSWER the unit system commonly used throughout most of the
world.
Prefix Multipliers - ANSWER used by the SI system with the standard units. These
multipliers change the value of the unit by powers of 10.
Scientific Notation - ANSWER used to write very long and very big numbers.
Second (s) - ANSWER the SI standard unit of time
SI Units - ANSWER the most convenient system of units for science measurements.
Significant Figures - ANSWER the-non-place-holding digits in a reported
measurment.
Solution Map - ANSWER a visual outline that shows the strategic route required to
solve a problem.
Units - ANSWER previously agreed-on quantities used to report experimental
measurements.
Volume - ANSWER a measure of space.
Matter - ANSWER is anything that has mass and volume that takes up space.
Weight - ANSWER a measure of the gravitational force exerted on an object; its
value can change with the location of the object in the universe.
Quantity - ANSWER something that has magnitude, size, or amount.
Conservation of Mass - ANSWER the principle that mass cannot be created or
destroyed.
Convergent Boundary - ANSWER area where two tectonic plates collide.
Covalent Bond - ANSWER a chemical bond between 2 atoms of the same or
different elements in which each atom shares the electrons.
Diffraction - ANSWER the bending of a wave around an obstruction.
DNA - ANSWER a nucleic acid that carries genetic material, present in all cellular
organism.
Electromagnet - ANSWER a magnet consisting of a coil of wire wrapped around a
core that becomes strongly magnetized when current flows through the coil produces
a magnetic field.
