Descriptive research • Research based on observations
Experimental research • Investigations or research involving variables
Data • Observations collected during investigations
Liter • Unit used for measuring volume
Observation • Made by using 5 senses
Energy • The ability to do work or cause change
Model • Used to represent things that are too big, too small, too expensive, or too dangerous • Have limitations • The act of representing something • A simulation
Hypothesis • An educated guess about the outcome of an experiment
Independent variable • What is changed or tested by the scientist • May cause a change
Y-axis • The side axis on a graph • Where the dependent variable is plotted
Variable • A factor that can change during an experiment
Mass • A measure of the amount of matter in an object
Represent • To symbolize • To stand for
Controlled variables (constants) • Variables that are not allowed to change during an experiment
x-axis • The bottom axis on a graph • Where the independent variable is plotted
Newtons • The unit of measurement for force
Heat A form of energy that is transferred by a difference in temperature
Density • The relationship of mass and volume
Inference • An assumption made about observations
Temperature • A measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a sample of matter • A measure of heat
Science A way of learning more about the natural world that provides possible explanations to questions and involves using a collection of skills. Science helps us answer questions and solve problems. Science is the process of trying to understand the world.
Dependent variable • The data or observation in an experiment • What is measured and observed • Caused by a change in the independent variable
Bar graph • Used to display comparisons in data
Conduction • The movement of heat through an object
Meter • Used to measure distance or length
Frequency • How many times something happens
Flammable • Ability to burn
Volume • How much space an object takes up • How much an object can hold
Manipulate • To change • To control
Line graph • Used to display changes in data
Rate • The speed of something
Interpret • To make sense of • To understand • To figure out • Present the subject in understandable terms
convection • The movement of heat through a substance. • The substances rises as it heats up, then sinks as it cools off
Illustrate • The skill of giving examples to describe something • Using examples to help explain your answer
Classify Arrange or order by characteristics or properties
Force • A push or pull • Causes changes in motion or shape
Transform • To change or convert
Gram • Unit for measuring mass

Control group • Experimental group that has nothing done to it • Used as a comparison
Balance • What is left over
Initial • The beginning • The start of something
Accurate Having very small error of any kind
Relate • Show connections • Associate
Compare Show how the facts or ideas are similar
