1. All matter is made up of atoms and molecules that act like tiny particles

2. These tiny particles are always in motion

3. The higher the temperature of a substance, the faster the particles will move

4. At the same temperature, more massive particles will move slower than less massive particles

The study of any living things

ex. Biology, Zoology, Ecology, and Botony

*How planets rotate

The study of nonliving things

ex. weather, universe, planets and space

The study of matter and energy

(branches into chemistry and physics)

Sports- made up by Physics

Changing of Substances=digestion

Knowledge for the sake of it

(how? why? what?)

ex. knowing the phases of the moon

*trivial knowledge*

aka. technology

The use of pure science to make our lives easier

ex. ipad- compact computer-holds more for less space

Reasonable, reflective, responsiblel and skillful thinking that is focused on deciding what to believe or do

(thinking/reevaluating the situation)

1.Observe the situation, research and form a ?

2.Develop and form a hypothesis

3.Test the hypothesis(perform a controlled experiment

4.Analyze the data- What does it mean?

5.Draw conclusions

Observing quality (describe)

*think QUALITY*

Observing # or amount (measurement)

*Think QUANTITY*

Describes how things work based on experiments and observations

(tells you how)

They BOTH

*allow predictions to be made

*have experiments that can be repeated

System of units used worldwide so scientists can easily share data with eachother

*latin of the science world

A standard for measurement, has a value that everyone knows

ex. meter- from doorknob to floor

length- ?

mass- ?

time- ?

temperature-?

electric current-?

quantity-?

luminous intensity-?

length-meters (m)

mass- kilograms(kg)

time-seconds(s)

temperature-Kelvin(K)

electric current-ampere(A)

quantity-mole(mol)

luminous intensity-candela(cd)

*Understanding your data

*Besides understanding graphs, sometimes one must understand the measurements or calculations

How close something is to a target or goal

(ex. archery)

aka SigFigs

A way to tell how precise #s in a measurement are

1. all non-0 #s are significant (any #1-9)

2.0's at the end of a # will only count if theres a decimal point

3.0's in the beginning of a # never count

4.0's between non-0 #s always count

*a substance that can't be broken down, already in lowest form possible

*basis for all creation

*made up of only one type of atoms

*Made up of 118 elements currently

*Each represented by a chemical symbol

Substances are mixed equally, can't see any separation

aka solution

ex. iced tea, lemonade, air

Particles are suspended but they can reflect light

ex. jello, pudding, mayo, smog/fog

Any characteristic or trait that describes the substance without changing the identity of the substance

(height,color,shape,mass,volume,

odor,texture,melting/boiling point, strength, hardness, ability to conduct electricty or heat or density)

How much matter is contained in a certain volume of a substance

-looking @ how tightly the atoms are packed together

-used to determine buoyancy

-derived unit

Buoyant Force > Weight of Object = Float

Buoyant Force < Weight of Object = Sink

Buoyant Force = Weight of Object = Object Suspended midliquid

Sphere-Less area for buoyant Force to act upon,float

Cyllinder-more force exerted on sides,sink

aka heat

total movement of all of the particles (needs to know mass)

Resistance of a fluid to flow

(ex. when a container of liquid is tilted to allow flow to begin, the flowing particles will transfer energy to the stationary particles)

High Viscosity- low flow, thick

Low Viscostiy- high flow, thin
