English school teacher who revised the atomic theory/developed the modern atomic theory.
Term
Who was Kepler?
Definition
A scientist who made up the terms perihellion-where the planet is closest to the sun. Also aphellion-where the planet is farther from the sun. Also he thought the orbit around the sun is an ellipes.
Term

Term
What is the scientific method and all its steps?
Definition

A method of procedure, to approah a problem.

1 Observation

2 Question

3 Collect Data

4 Hypothesis

5 Experiment 

6 Conclusion 

7 Theory of New Hypothesis

Term
What is a controlled experiment? Why is it important
Definition
A single variable by changing it while keeping all other variables the same. It is important because them you could test the experiment both ways.
Term
Convert the following in scientific notation 1.) 3.1x107 and 2.)3.1x10-7
Definition
1.) 31000000 2.) 0.0000031
Term
What are all the basic SI units for mass, temperature, length, and volume?
Definition

Mass=Grams Temperature=Kelvin

Length= Meters

Volume=Liters

Term
WHat are the values and the meanings of kilo, hecto, deka, deci, centi, and milli?
Definition

Kilo=Kilometer 10 to the 3rd power

Hecto=Hectometer 10 to the 2nd power

deka=dekaometer 10 to the 1st power

deci=decimeter 10 to the negitive 1

centi=centimeter 10 to the negitive 2

milli=millimeter 10 to the negitive 3

Term
What are the basic tools for measuring mass, temperature, length, and volume?
Definition

Mass=triple beam balance

Volume=beaker 

Length=rulers

Temperature=thermometers

Term
Convert the following measurments 2500mm to dkm, and 0.034hg to cg
Definition
2500dkm and 340cg
Term
What is Conservation of Mass? Why is it important?
Definition
A principle stating that mass cannot be created or destroyed. This is important because everything is mainly made of mass.
Term
In the compound Al2, how many atoms are there? Oxygen atoms?
Definition
13 atoms and oxygen atoms 2.
Term
Which of the following are physical and chemical changes? Freezing point, density, rusting iron, cooking eggs, burning wood, dissolving salt, and buoyancy?
Definition

Freezing point=physical

Density=physical

Rusting iron=physical

Cooking eggs=chemical

Burning wood=chemical

Dissolving salt=chemical

Buoyancy=physical

Term
What is true about a density  of a substance?
Definition
The density of a substance is the same regardless of the size.
Term
Explain the difference between a pure substance and a mixture?
Definition
A pure substance is when matter is a single element or a single compound Ex chemical formula, elements, compound, molecule, and atoms. A mixture is substances that are combine but not chemicals Ex homogeneous , and heterogeneous.
Term
how do elements bond?
Definition

 

 

when one element wants to complet its octet by removing electrons from its shell

Term
what are two types of bonding?explain the proccess of each type. give examples
Definition

ionic,covalent

ionic-happens when two atoms have a large diffrence in electrons

covalent-when two atoms has a small diffreence in eletrons

Term
how many galaxies exist in the universe
Definition
500billion
Term
whats a light year
Definition
  1. A unit of astronomical distance equivalent to the distance that light travels in one year, which is 9.4607 × 1012km

 

Term
what are the main diffrences between the inner and outer plants of our galaxy?
Definition
The inner planets are smaller, and do not have the dense atmospheres of the outer planets. The four inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) have warmer temperatures than the exteriors of the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune).

The "gas giants" have very hot lower atmospheres, caused by the intense pressure. The atmospheres are mostly hydrogen, but for Uranus and Neptune there are higher levels of water, methane, and ammonia. All of the gas giants have multiple moons and rings, the most visible being the ice rings around Saturn.
Term
how many galaxy classifed?
Definition
3
Term
why do we have day and night ?why do we have seasons?
Definition


 

Term
If an object is at rest, what are its speed, velocity, and acceleration?
Definition
These three objects are always moving no matter what the speed or acceleration.
Term
Calculate speed, velocity, distance, time, and acceleration
Definition
speed=d/t velocity=d/t time=d/t acceleration=vf-vi/t
Term
What is the name of the slope on a distance-time graph?
Definition
It is showing speed
Term
Can you have a negative slope on a graph?
Definition
Yes, because when you are plotting a regular graph you have the line etc. come from the lower left corner to the upper right hand corner but with the negative graph it would be the same thing but coming down from the upper left corner to the lower right corner.
Term
Why is a computer more accurate than a person when timing data?
Definition
Today our computers are faster and more accurate. With a person you could have many complications like not timing correctly, or setting up the graph wrong etc.
