Scientific Method

Definitions Observation – (sight, hearing, touch, taste, smell) Instrument – Inference – Prediction –

Classification

Classification in Biology

Classification of Clouds (Earth Science Example)

More Definitions Measurement – Length, Mass, Volume Units of Measurement –

Volume of Cubes or Rectangles

Volume of an irregular object

Percent Deviation Formula not on reference table Percent deviation = __________________________________ X 100% Try this example: A student measures the mass of an object as 127.5 g and the accepted or actual value is 125.0 g. What is the percent deviation?
