copy deck
- Solid
- A phase of matter that has an absolute shape and volume
- Qualitative Data
- Descriptive Data: color, odor, texture
- Purpose
- The point of the experiment
- Sublimation
- A solid into a gas
- Freezing
- A liquid into a soild
- Liquid
- A phase of matter that has no specific shape, but a definate volume, and forms to the shape of whatever is holding it
- Vaporization
- A liquid into a gas
- Suspension
- A mixture of chemicals that will slowly seperate over time.
- Quantitative Data
- Numerical Data: length, width, height
- Mass
- The amount of matter in an object
- Purpose Statement
- The reason you chose to perform the experiment in a sentence
- Compound
- A combination of chemicals that cannot be separated
- Heterogenous
- Chemicals with different origins
- Solution
- The combination of a liquid and solid mixed together
- Chromatography
- A physical process used to determine what type of substances have been mixed together
- Concentrted
- A strong solution
- Gas
- A phase of matter that has no specific volume or shape, and will form to the shape of the container that it is in, it can be compressed into a smaller volume (concentrated), or expanded (diluted) into a larger volume
- Condensation
- A gas into a liquid
- Matter
- Anything that has mass and volume
- Dependent Variable
- The effect of the independent variable
- Highly Solubility
- Dissolves quickly
- Gravity
- The force of attraction between objects
- Plasma
- A phase of matter at high energy, found mostly as stars in the universe
- Solvent
- The dissolver in a solution
- Weight
- The gravitational pull on an object
- Density
- The amount of mass per volume of an object
- Melting
- A solid into a liquid
- Hypothesis
- An educated guess
- Phase change
- When matter changes its form due to specific conditions: temperature
- X axis
- The horizontal line on a graph
- Y axis
- The vertical line on a graph
- Solute
- What is being dissolved in a solution
- Diluted
- A weak solution
- Low Solubility
- Dissolves slowly
- Volume
- The amount of space an object takes up
- Deposition
- A gas into a solid
- Independent variable
- What you choose to change in an experiment
