SCI101 - Unit 1

2. degradation of material when it comes in contact with air and moisture
4. materials exert attractive or repulsive forces on other materials
8. starts with specific observation working to broader generalization and theory
12. ability of a material to change shape in a nonreversible form under the application of force
14. materials that have unstable atoms and can release energy
15. type of material that allows electrical current to pass through its body
16. science of matter, energy, and their interactions
18. supported by a vast amount of data and research
20. tested numerous times and has data to support it to be elevated beyond a theory
21. “to know” a body of facts learned by study or experience
23. science of composition, structure, and properties of substances
24. the ability of a material to be stretched under a tensile force
25. science of the history of the earth and its life as recorded in rocks

1. the study of objects and matter outside the earth’s atmosphere
3. modify the behavior and properties of light
5. tendency of a material to dissolve in liquid
6. disciplines that do not follow the scientific method, generally seen as not reproducible or falsifiable
7. working from more general information to more specific information
9. material whose particles do not allow thermal energy to be transferred, provides resistance to current
10. the study of living systems
11. outermost shell of an atom that can either accept or donate electrons
13. ability to withstand a pull force directed away from the body of the material
15. materials not part of a chemical reaction, but allow or assist the chemical reaction to take place
17. tentative explanation for an observed phenomenon
19. composite particle composed of a nucleus of protons and neutrons, and orbiting electrons
22. study of organisms and their environment
