Term
Density
Definition
The amount of mass in an object per a given volume
Term
Density Equation
Definition
D= M/V (unit = g/ml or g/cm³)
Term
How do you change the density of an object?
Definition
By changing temperature or pressure

Temp(up) -> Volume(up) -> Mass stays the same -> Density(down)
Temp(d) -> Volume (d) -> Mass stays the same -> Density (up)
Pressure(Up) ->Volume (d) -> Mass stays the same -> Density(up)
Pressure(d) ->Volume (up) -> Mass stays the same -> Density(d)
Term
% error
Definition
Difference from accepted value/accepted value*100

Unit %

or

Yours - Theirs/Theirs *100
Term

Term
Observation
Definition
Interaction between your senses and the environment
Term
Inference
Definition
using an observation to draw a conclusion
Term
Measurement
Definition
A direct comparison to a known standard.

(A number and unit must be given)
Term
Classification
Definition
Grouping based on similar properties
Term
Nature of change?

what is change?
Definition
Change can be described as the occurrence of an event.

If change has many variables it will be more difficult to predict change
Term
Event?
Definition
Occurs when the properties of a system are altered
Term
What happen if the nature of change is known...?
Definition
then the rate and direction of change can be predicted.
Term
predictions will be more accurate...
Definition
if data is collected over a long period of time
Term
Relationship between Energy & Change
Definition
- All change involves the transfer of Energy
- If energy is lost in one part of a system then it must be gained at another part of the system and change will occur
- The exchange of energy occurs at an interface
Term
What is an Interface?
Definition
Interface is the point where the energy is exchanged
Term
Rate of change?
Definition
Change in field value/change in time

or change Y/ change X
Term
Dynamic Equilibrium
Definition
energy is into a system equals energy out of a system
