- Gravity and magnetism
- cannot attract and repel
- Procedure
- the typical design of an experiment with a detailed list of step by step instructions
- Conclusion
- a specific statement about what you found out about the hypothesis
- Weaker
- as maganets move farther away the force gets
- Independent Variable
- part of the experiment that we change
- Steel, Nickel and Cobalt
- materials that are attracted to a magnet
- Dependant Variable
- The class built several paper airplane designs and then threw them to see which went the farthest. We then measured the distance flown by each airplane. The distance the airplanes flew would be an example of...
- Neptune
- Planet that feels the least pull of gravity
- Length
- the variable that caused the period of the pendulum to increase
- Larger
- In the Inverse square light lab, as the light got farther away fromthe board, the area of brightness became
- scientific method
- an orderly method of gaining, organizing and applying new knowledge
- Analysis
- use of math, charts or graph to see how data answers the original purpose
- Controls
- If you are testing whether the length of a pendulum determines the time it takes to swing, you must keep the weight and position of the pendulum always the same. The weight and position would be examples of experimental...
- Purpose
- the thing you wanted to find out in the experiment
- Poles
- strongest part of the magnet
- Trials
- number of times we take each piece of data
- Hypothesis
- I think a pendulum will take longer to complete one swing if the string is made longer
- dependent variable
- what we are trying to measure
- pseudo science
- information given based on unreliable observation, one time occurrences, not found to be repeatable
- North and South
- magnetic poles that attract each other
- Less Bright
- IN the light lab, as light got farther away from the board, the brightness became
