Volume - The amount of 3–dimensional space taken up by an object. (Capacity)
Distance – The space between two objects or points.
Liter – The basic metric unit of volume. (l)
Meter – The basic metric unit of distance. (m)
Gram – The basic metric unit of mass. (g)
Data – A collection of facts from which conclusions may be made.
Dependent Variable – The variable that is observed and measured, the data. (y-axis)
Independent Variable – The variable that can cause a change in the dependent variable. (x-axis)
Hypothesis – A reasonable prediction, an educated guess.
Null hypothesis – A statement that is opposite of your predicted hypothesis. Inquiry – The act of gathering or asking for information.
Inferences – A reasonable explanation for an event or observation.
Scientific Theory – Inferred explanation for why something happens. (Theory of Evolution)
Scientific Law – Statements or descriptions of how something happens. (The law of gravity)
Beaker – Laboratory glassware shaped as a cylinder with a notch for pouring liquids.
Metric or SI – The International System of Units.
Kilo – The SI prefix for 1000 (k)
Deci – The SI prefix for 0.1 (d)
Centi – The SI prefix for 0.01 (c)
Milli – The SI prefix for 0.001 (m) States of Matter
Matter exists in three states: Solid (Example: Ice) Liquid (Example: Water) Gas (Example: Water Vapor)
Endothermic: A process or reaction that absorbs heat. For example, ice melting is an example of an endothermic process because it absorbs heat from its surroundings.
Exothermic: A process or reaction that releases heat. For example, wood burning in the presence of oxygen is an example of an exothermic reaction.
Convection: The process in which cool air delves down, while warmer air rises to the top. The warm air usually cools in the cooler, higher sections of the atmosphere and again begins to return back down. Local breezes, wind and even thunderstorms are a result of convection. Also, the transfer of heat in a gas or liquid by the movement of particles within the fluid.
Conduction: Energy transfer from one material to another by direct contact.
Radiation: energy that is radiated or transmitted in the form of rays or waves or particles
Radiation Penetration
This shows three different types of radiation and their penetration levels
