1 Characteristics of Science

2 What is the difference between QUALITATIVE & QUANTITATIVE Data?? QUALITATIVE DATA: Data recorded that uses the five senses to describe it (the way something looks, feels, tastes, smells, or sounds) QUANTITATIVE DATA: Data recorded that involves the use of numbers

3 What is the basic unit of measure for length/distance in the metric system? METER

4 Match the device to what it measures: Graduated Cylinder Triple Beam Balance Thermometer Microscope Telescope Objects in space Temperature Capacity of a Liquid Mass Enlarges very small objects

5 What is the mneumonic to help you remember the steps of the scientific method? Ann Has Twenty Adorable Dogs and Cats!

6 What is the basic unit of measure for mass in the metric system? GRAMS

7 What type of data? John caught a big brown snake.

8 Name the six steps of the scientific method. Ask a Question Form a Hypothesis Test the Hypothesis Analyze Results Draw Conclusions Communicate Results

9

10 Convert the following and tell what the unit measures: 45 M = ________KM 0.045 KM Length

11 What type of data? John’s snake is six feet long.

12 What is the basic unit of measure for capacity/volume of liquids in the metric system? LITER

13

14 Why is it important to keep accurate records of procedures and results? So that the experiment can be retested and repeated!!

15 Convert the following and tell what the unit measures: 650 G = ________mG 650,000 mG Mass

16 What is an independent variable in an experiment? The independent variable is what you are testing in an experiment!

17

18 What is a dependent variable in an experiment? The dependent variable in an experiment is what you are measuring!!

19

20 What is a control variable in an experiment? The controlled variables keep the test fair. These are things that are done throughout the experiment to make sure the experiment can be repeated.

21

22 What is the mneumonic to help you remember the metric prefixes? Kids Have Dropped Over Dead Changing Metrics!!

23

24 What are the numeric values for each prefix? Kilo-1000 Hecto-100 Deka-10 Ones (L,M,G) 1 Deci-0.1 Centi-0.01 Milli-0.001

25

26 Convert the following and tell what the unit measures: 320 mL = __________ L 0.32 L Volume

27

28 Convert the following and tell what the unit measures: 4.56 L= __________ DkL 0.456 Dkl Measures Volume

29

30 What type of data? The flower is red. The flower is 40 cm tall. The girl preferred red over yellow flowers.

31 Convert the following and tell what the unit measures: 5 g = _________ mg 5,000 mg Mass

32

33 Convert the following and tell what the unit measures: 10 M= ____________ MM 10,000 MM Length
