Physics The study of forces, energy, motion
The study of atoms and molecules, their structures, and their
Chemistry
interactions to form substances
The study of the Earth's structure and composition, and
Earth science
processes that change Earth
Studies the natural world
Uses testable ideas
essential attributes of science Relies on data from observations/experiments
Presented for evaluation by other scientists
Leads to further questions/research
variables The changing quantities in an experiment
, independent variable What you change in an experiment on purpose
dependent variable The variable that changes because of an independent variable
The variable(s) you don't want to study, need to be either
control variable
eliminated or kept constant
When systems are observed as they appear in nature,
observational study
researchers do not attempt to change them
physical model A model of a physical phenomenon, such as a planetary system
A model used to visualize things that cannot be seen, such as
conceptual model
atoms
A model that treats physical objects/phenomena using
mathematical model
mathematical methods
computer model A detailed, complex model calculated by a computer
Principle that only falsifiable statements can be subject to
principle of falsification
scientific inquiry
hypothesis A testable statement about how something in nature works
A concise statement that is supported by scientific evidence and
law repeated experiments, describes a widespread pattern in nature
(what)
A statement that explains a wide range of observations,
theory
supported by a large body of scientific evidence (how/why)
meter Base unit of length
kilogram Base unit of mass
second Base unit of time
kelvin Base unit of temperature
Derived units What is produced when the base units/quantities are combined
Speed The name for the distance traveled divided by an interval of time
Volume Term for the amount of space an object occupies
Method of determining the volume of an object by measuring
Liquid displacement
the amount of liquid it displaces
A relationship between two variables where increasing one
direct relationship
increases the other, and vice versa
A relationship between two variables where increasing one
inverse relationship
decreases the other, and vice versa
Velocity A combination of speed and direction
Acceleration Term for any change in an object's speed and/or direction
Term for a push or a pull with direction and magnitude. You may
Force
not feel it.
Net force The sum of all forces acting on an object
balanced forces Term for forces that combine to produce a net force of 0
An object in motion remains in motion unless acted on by a net
Newton's first law
force
The tenancy to keep the same motion/velocity or remain at rest.
inertia
