The object that has more density will float.
6.Hypothesis-a guess educated guess
I made hypothesis about who i thought would win.
7.Variable-can be changed
The variable in this paragraph was unknown.
8.Control group-can not be changed
The phone was in the control group.
9.Experimental group-can be changed
I expermented with the experimental group.
10.Inductive reasoning-reasoning from detailed facts to general principles
Teachers should use inductive reasoning to explain material to students.
1.mass- body of coherent matter, usually of indefinite shape and often of considerable size.
2.Weight is the mearsurement of the gravitational force that attracts an object
3.Volume usually of indefinite shape and often of considerable size.
The mass of the table was less than excpected.
4.Meniscus The curve in the upper surface of a standing body of liquid, produced in response to the surface of the container or another object. The meniscus of water is concave.
5.Density- the state or quality of being dense
The density was very low.
6.Hypothesis-An explanation for the occurrence of some specified group of phenomena.
7. variable-a component of an experiment–there are three; independent, dependent, and control.
8.control group- in a test or trial, a group that does not receive the new treatment being studied and which is compared to the group that does receive the new treatment.
9.group- any collection or assemblage of persons or things.
The group of students tested the water for acid.
10.reasoning from detailed facts to general principles
1. Mrs. Davis dosent have that much mass.
2.I weight 150 pounds.
3.I turned up the volume up to max.
4.My hypothesis was wrong.
5.I an interactive activity to help students find the density of an object.
6.The meniscus is a C-shaped piece of cartilage located in the knee.
7.Variables aren’t always ‘quantitative’ or numerical.
8.Control Group delivers extremely consistent, robust solutions to enterprises in a variety of traditional and emerging industries.
9.What ever diffethere are between your experimental group and mine.
10.This article gives tips and hints on the use of inductive reasoning in effective problem solvingrences.
mass-a body of coherent matter, usually of indefinite shape and often of considerable size
weight-the vertical force exerted by a mass as a result of gravity
volume-the amount of 3-dimensional space occupied by an object
meniscus-A meniscus is phase boundary that has been curved because of surface tension
density-the amount per unit size
hypothesis-a proposal intended to explain certain facts or observations
variable-something that is likely to vary; something that is subject to variation
control group-When an experiment is conducted for the purpose of determining the effect of a single variable of interest on a particular system
experimental group-When an experiment is conducted for the purpose of determining the effect of a single variable of interest onIn scientific research, an experiment (Latin: ex- periri, “to try out”) is a method of investigating causal relationships among variablesa particular system
inductive reasoning-generalization: reasoning from detailed facts to general principles
Mass-a body of coherent matter, usually of indefinite shape and often of considerable size
The mass is the matter of an object.
Weight-the amount of heaviness
Weight is measured in pounds and ounces.
Volume-amount of space, measured in cubic units, that an object or substance occupies
The volume is measured in cubic units.
Meniscus-a crescent or a crescent-shaped body
Meniscua is the convex or concave upper surface of a column of liquid.
Density-the state or quality of being dense
Density is closely set.
Hypothesis-proposition, or set of propositions, set forth as an explanation for the occurrence of some specified group of phenomena
The hypothesis is an educated guess.
Variable-capable of being varied or changed
The variable is deviating from the usual type, as a species or a specific character.
Control group-a group of subjects closely resembling the treatment group in many demographic variables but not receiving the active medication or factor under study and thereby serving as a comparison group when treatment results are evaluated
The control group is in an experiment.
Experimental group-group of subjects that are exposed to the variable of a control experiment
The experimental group is something that changes.
Inductive reasoning- reasoning from detailed facts to general principles
Inductive reasoning is generalization
Mass-a body of coherent matter, usually of indefinite shape and often of considerable size
volume-the amount of space, measured in cubic units, that an object or substance occupies.
meniscus-a curve in the surface of a molecular substance and is produced in response to the surface of the container or another object.
density-mass per unit volume
hypothesis-an educated guess
variable-changeable
control group-a group of subjects closely resembling the treatment group in many demographic variables but not receiving the active medication or factor under study and thereby serving as a comparison group when treatment results are evaluated.
