the temperature scale on which zero is the temperature at which no more energy can be removed from matter
the interval between two events
basic SI unit of volume; equals 1,000 mL
the study of the properties of matter and how matter changes
the measurement of how much mass of a substance is contained in a given volume
basic SI unit of length
A possible explanation for a set of observations or answer to a scientific question; must be
testable
prefix meaning 0.01; 1/100
the one factor that a scientist changes during an experiment; also called the manipulated variable
An experiment in which all variables except one are kept constant
a measure of how much matter is in an object; the SI unit is the kilogram
The amount of space that matter occupies
the factor that changes as a result of changes to the manipulated (or independent) variable in an experiment; also called responding variable
prefix meaning 1/1000 or 0.001
the SI unit for time
in an experiment, a standard for comparison that is often needed to draw a meaningful conclusion
a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles that make up a sample of matter
a measure of the force of gravity on an object
The temperature scale on which zero and 100 are the temperatures at which water freezes and boils
anything that has mass and occupies space
