7 Steps to the Scientific Method
1) State the _______________) purpose 2) Research it, and get _______________. information 3) Form a Hypothesis. ( educated guess) 4) Perform an _____________________ experiment 5) Collect Data. (Observations and Results) 6)Form your ____________________ conclusions_ 7) the experiment. Repeat
8
Every experiment must have a __________________and a _______________.
Control- part of experiment that stays the ________________ Variable- part of exp. being __________________ Independent V- causes a _____________in something being tested. ( cause ) Dependent V – the part in the experiment that ___________( effect ) Theory--- A theory is the most logical explanation for something that happens in nature. Law— A theory becomes a law when it is well accepted and well tested by the sc. Community.

So here’s a question: If two people travel the same distance, from A to B, at the same time, and one is walking, while the other is running, who will get “wetter” if it is raining? How would you solve this problem using the Scientific Method?
12
Here’s the answer:
13
The metric system Metric System-________________ system of measurement used by all scientists. international International system of units---SI ( system internationale) Based on the ___________---It is a decimal system 10 13

Types of Measurement Unit Scientific Tools-instruments
Length-measures distance meter Metric ruler Meter stick __________________________________________________ Mass-amt. of matter kilogram Triple Beam in an object Balance _________________________________________________ Temperature-measure Celsius( °C) Thermometer of the total amount of kelvin (K) kinetic energyin an obj. 18

Volume-amount of space Units tools
an object takes up (cm³) Graduated cylinder L over flow can m.ruler/m.stick *1 cc = 1 cm³ ; 1 cm3 = 1mL = 1 gram ___________________________________________ Volume of a regular solid (cm³ )(LxWxH) Meter Stick/ruler ex: cube Vol. of liquid mL, L Graduated cylinder ______________________________________________ Vol. of irregular Solid ex: pencil cm³ , m³ Graduated cylinder overflow can 19
20
Density- relationship Units tools
between mass and volume overflow can D = m/v g/cm³ TBB, Gcylinder ___________________________g/mL________________________ Weight-gravitational pull on an object-affected by mass Newton spring scale 20

10 m = ? Km 2 km = ? Cm 25.2 mL = ? L 2000 g = ? kg kg = ? mg cc = L
24
Answers: 1. 10 m = ___________km .01 km 2. 2 km = _________cm
mL = _______ L . 250 L g = _______ kg 2 kg kg = _______ mg mg cc = _______L 1.5 L NOW LET’S DO THE CONVERSIONS ON “METRIC MANIA!”
25
Conversions 55 kg. to grams 32 km to centimeters 921 mL to Liters .7grams to milligrams 1500 grams to Kilograms 108 mL to Liters 110 Liters to mL 1000 centimeters to Kilometers 1 mL to cc’s 4 mL to cc’s 4 mL to cm 16,000 mm to meters 16,000 meters to centimeters

How would you get the volume of a cylinder?

All # must be between # 1 and 10.
Scientific Notation To reduce the number of zeros in very big and very small numbers, you can express the values as simple numbers multiplied by a power of 10. All # must be between # 1 and 10. scientific notation. 103 = 1,000 102 = 100 101 = 10 100 = 1 10-1 = 0.1 10-2 = 0.01 10-3 = 0.001
28
The speed of light is about 300,000,000 m/s
In scientific notation the speed of light is 3.0 x 108 On your own: Write the following measurements in scientific notation. a. 800,000,000 m b kg Write the following measurements in long form. a x 103 g b x 10-8 cm
