The process by which a scientist asks a question about the natural world, collects and analyzes
data to help answer that question, and communicates the results to the scientific community -
ANSWER ✔ - Scientific investigation
An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and
in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. - ANSWER ✔ - Newton's First

measuring the amount of liquid it displaces
Direct relationship - ANSWER ✔ - A relationship between two variables where increasing one
increases the other, and vice versa
Inverse relationship - ANSWER ✔ - A relationship between two variables where increasing one
decreases the other, and vice versa
