Inductive reasoning- reasoning from detailed facts to general principles.
1. Mass-the amount of matter in an object
S-The fact that the mass of an object will never change creates the difference between mass and weight.
2. Weight-the measure of the gravitational pull on the mass of an object
S-The weight of an object depends on both its mass and its density.
3. Volume-the amount of cubic units that fit inside an object
S-To calculate the volume of a cube, multiply the length times the height times the width.
4. Meniscus-the curve, often downward, of a liquid in a container
S-Always measure the bottom of the meniscus rather than one of the sides.
5. Density-the concentration of matter in an object
S-Density might also be thought of as the thickness of an object.
6. hypothesis-an educated guess about the results of an experiment
S-Hypothesises might be based on experience with similar scenarios or on simple knowledge of your components.
7. variable-a component of an experiment–there are three; independent, dependent, and control
S-Adding a variable or leaving out a variable makes the difference between the control group and the experimental group.
8. control group-a group that has no independent variable–it is never bothered and is used to monitor what your independent variable is changing and what is
just happening due to other reasons
S-When the control group does the exact same thing as the experimental group you know that the independent variable is not responsible.
9. Experimental group-the group that is being tested
S-The experimental group will often do things completely different than the control group.
10. Inductive reasoning-an educated explanation
S-Inductive reasoning can be helpful when making a hypothesis.
1.Mass-a body of coherent matter, usually of indefinite shape and often of considerable size
We measured the mass of the object with a triple beam balance.
2.Weight-the force that gravitation exerts upon a body, equal to the mass of the body times the local acceleration of gravity: commonly taken, in a region of constant gravitational acceleration, as a measure of mass
Our weight it different on the earth than it is on the moon.
3.Volume-the amount of space, measured in cubic units, that an object or substance occupies
The volume of the liquid was measured in a graduated cylinder.
4.Meniscus-the convex or concave upper surface of a column of liquid, the curvature of which is caused by surface tension
I looked at the meniscus on the cup of water.
5.Density-mass per unit volume
The cream filled pastrie was very dense.
6.Hypothesis-a proposition, or set of propositions, set forth as an explanation for the occurrence of some specified group of phenomena, either asserted merely as a provisional conjecture to guide investigation (working hypothesis) or accepted as highly probable in the light of established facts
I had to form a hypothesis for my science fair project.
7.Variable-capable of being varied or changed; alterable
The control variable of the experiment did not change.
8.Control Group-somthing that does not change
The type of soil was part of the control group of the experiment.
9.Experimental Group-something that changes
The type of plant was part of the experimental group of the experiment.

inductive reasoning-generalization: reasoning from detailed facts to general principles
Mass~ how much matter in an object
Mass will NEVER change
Weight~ The Ammount of which gravity effects an object.
Weight changes depending on a planets gravity.
Volume~ The Ammount of space an object takes up.
Volume also does not change.
Meniscus~The center point when measuring an object.
You measure with the meniscus.
Density~How compacted or thick an object is.
If an objects density happens to be lower than water than it should float.
Hypothesis~An educated guess
A hypothesis is made of what you think should happen in an experiment.
Variable~ Things that change in an experiment
All experiments have variables.
Control group~ Things that stay the same throughout an experiment.
Controls are controlled and do not change like variables do.
Experimental group~ Things that are tested and changed in an experiment.
Things in the experimental group are the most important part of an experiment.

inductive reasoning- noticing something in a experiment
use your inductive reasoning
1. Mass- the amount of matter in an object
- Mass does not change.
2. Weight- measure of the gravitational pull on an object
- Your weight can change because gravity isn’t the same everywhere like in water or on the moon.
3. Volume- amount of space that an object or substance takes up
-The volume of the liquid was 3 mL.
4. Meniscus- the curve of a liquid in a container
-I saw the water’s meniscus in the graduated cylinder.
5. Density- mass per unit volume; shows how thick an object is
-The density of the rubber ball was small because it floated on the water.
6. Hypothesis- an educated guess based on observations
-My hypothesis was that the rock would sink.
7. Variable- factor that changes through an experiment; control, independent, and dependent
-The independent variable changed in the experiment.
8. Control Group- a variable that doesn’t change in an experiment
- The control group didn’t change in the experiment.
9. Experimental Group- a variable that is tested during an experiment
