  1. 2. A piece of narrow-mouthed lab glassware that is used to carry and sometimes store liquids
  2. 4. The base unit of MASS in the metric system.
  3. 9. The first step in the scientific method (according to the notes we took earlier this year)
  4. 13. A tube-like piece of lab equipment that is used to precisely measure liquid amounts, usually in milliliters (mL).
  5. 15. A tool used to measure the mass of objects, usually in grams. It has 3 arms to adjust mass.
  6. 17. Modifiers of the metric base units. They can modify the unit to be bigger or smaller. Examples are milli-, centi-, and kilo-.
  7. 18. A measure of how much MASS is in a certain VOLUME. Units are usually g/mL or g/cm3.
  8. 20. A piece of wide-mouthed lab glassware that is used to transfer liquids. This is not a precise measuring tool.
  9. 21. A process that is used by scientists in order to solve problems and find answers in a logical way.
  10. 22. The step in the scientific method that you should do after you create your hypothesis, but before you start your experiment.

  1. 1. To change from one form to another. In science, we change between units of measurement like liters to milliliters for example.
  2. 3. A shorthand way of writing really big or really small numbers.
  3. 5. A physical substance that occupies space.
  4. 6. The amount of space that something takes up.
  5. 7. The part of the scientific method when you critique your work and explain your results.
  6. 8. The curved area of liquid that can be observed in a graduated cylinder. Measurements should be taken at the bottom of this line.
  7. 10. The base unit of VOLUME in the metric system. Usually measures liquid volume.
  8. 11. A system of measurement that relies on decimals rather than fractions. The basic units are meters, liters, and grams.
  9. 12. A statement that predicts what the results of an experiment will be. This is based on previous knowledge of a phenomenon.
  10. 14. The base unit of LENGTH in the metric system.
  11. 16. The measure of the amount of matter in an object.
  12. 19. A measurement tool that is exactly one meter long and is primarily used to measure length. This is different from a yard stick.
