Standardizing the field of Science Research Scientific Method/Inquiry Measurements and Units English vs. Metric Conversions Definitions Lab Safety

Scientific Method Identify a problem Research the problem Make a Hypothesis Attempt to explain Why this is the prediction of what and ]or why you expect something to happen Test the hypothesis Independent Variable the factor or condition being tested Dependant Variable the factor or condition that will change if the independent variable is changed Control factors of conditions that do not change during an eperiment. Make Observations and Record Data Tables, Graphs, Charts Draw a conclusion. Analysis of the Data Arrive at a Conclusion Report the results (Lab Report)

Choosing the right tools Measurement Length measure of distance 2 dimentional Tool- ruler Weight/Mass- Measure of gravitational force on an object Tool -Scale Area/Volume – the amount of surface area with in a boundary (container) 3 dimentional Time duration between 2 events Temperature the average vibration of the particles the make up a material

Density Measure of the amount of mater that occupies a given space. Unit = g/mL Or g/cm3 mass Density =---------- Volume

Units of Measure and conversions Standard (metric) Kelvin (celcius +273 deg) Grams Liters meters English Farenheit Pounds Ounces Inches/ feet Standard Units kilo- x 1000 hecto- x 100 deka- x 10 Metric base unit (g, l, etc) deci- x 0.1 centi- x 0.01 milli- x 0.001 “King Henry Died Monday Drinking Chocolate Milk”

Conversions Conversions you should know 1 in = 2.54 cm 1 qt = 946 mL 1 lb = 454 g 1 mile = 5280 ft Do NOT forget your Labels!!!!!!!!! 1 set up the equation 5 minX_____ = ? Sec 2 List conversion factor 5 min x 60 sec /1 min= ? Sec 3 Multiply 5 min x 60 sec /1 min= 300 Sec
