9. Observing & Measuring Vocabulary Part I

10. Observation
Using your five (5) sense to describe the characteristics of something
In science class you only have four (4) senses unless told otherwise by the teacher
The sense that you are not to use unless told to do so is TASTE

11. Quantitative (observation)
A characteristic of something that can be measured
(has a number/ Quantity)
Weight
Speed
How much (dozen, 2-liter, cup)

12. Qualitative (observation)
A characteristic of something that cannot be measured
Used to describe
(based on quality)
An object’s quality depends on your concept of quality

13. Inference Using evidence or prior knowledge to explain observations
Example:
-The student is sad because they forgot to do their math homework

14. Conclusion
The end of something
Final result
End of a book

15. Scientific Method (how we learn & grow)

16. Scientific Method Ask a question Form a hypothesis
Test your hypothesis
Analyze your data
Draw a conclusion
Communicate results

17. Variable
Part of an experiment that may change or does change

18. Independent Variable
The variable in an experiment that is changed

19. Dependent Variable
The variable in an experiment that is being measured (depends on the I V)

20. Constant
A variable that stays the same throughout an experiment

21. Observing & Measuring Vocabulary Part II

22. Mass A measure of how much matter an object is made of
Mass never changes with gravity
Measured in unit of grams (g) with a triple beam balance or electronic balance

23. Make note of the unit… always indicated on the balance.
Electronic Balance

24. Triple Beam Balance
Three beams added together to calculate total mass

25. Volume The amount of space an object takes up
Volume never changes with gravity
Measured in the unit liters (L) if liquid or cubic centimeters (cm3) if a solid

26. Graduated Cylinder

27. Make note of the unit… always indicated on the graduate.

28. Record the volume from the bottom of the meniscus.

29. The volume of the green liquid would be 78 mL

30. Pour in any amount of water and record volume (78mL)
Now, to get the volume of an irregular solid, we use water displacement
Pour in any amount of water and record volume (78mL)

31. Carefully drop in your irregular solid

32. Record the new volume (89 mL)
**Meniscus may not be there b/c surface tension has been broken by the irregular solid.

33. Now, take the difference between the two volumes
BEFORE
Now, take the difference between the two volumes
78 mL
(89 – 78) = 11
The difference is the volume of the irregular solid recorded in cubic centimeters
AFTER
89 mL
11 cm3

34. Length The distance between two points
Measured in the unit meters (m) with a metric ruler

35. Metric ruler

36. Note your units…always on the metric ruler.

37. Whenever possible, make sure your metric ruler is against a flat surface while measuring.

38. Record number at the very tip of the object
Record number at the very tip of the object. One’s place first, followed by the decimal since this is a cm/mm ruler.

39. The length would be cm (If it is in the middle…the most accurate measurement would be that value so use it! If you are estimating between 2 numbers, you can go one decimal place further than your tool allows.)
How many mm?

40. Temperature
How quickly particles are moving in an object… degree of hotness or coldness
Measured in degrees Celsius (0C) with a thermometer

41. Celsius thermometer

42. Always check the degree division… # of degrees each line represents
Always check unit…

43. Each line represent 2º, so this temperature would be 22ºC

44. The Metric System

45. Most Common ones Gram - weight Meter - length Liter – volume (liquid)
Base Units
Most Common ones
Gram - weight
Meter - length
Liter – volume (liquid)

46. Kilo (k) base unit X 1,000 Hecto (h) base unit X 100 Decka (da) base unit X 10   Base Unit Gram, Meter, Liter   Deci (d) base unit / 10 Centi (c) base unit / 100 Mill (m) base unit / 1,000
