| science | Knowledge obtained by observing natural events and conditions and experimentation. |
| research | Gathering information through the use of books, internet, journals, interviewing someone, observations of the real world, or experimentation. |
| observation | To use one or more of your 5 senses (or 6 senses if you count sense of balance) to gather knowledge or information. |
| experiment | A test which includes independent-, dependent-, and control variables. |
| technology | The application of science for practical purposes |
| data | Information that is gained through experimentation or other research. |
| conclussion | Rational choices made using data gathered from experimentation or research |
| model | A representation designed to show the structure or workings of an object, concept, or system. |
| theory | A powerful idea that (1) can explain a wide variety of observations and reasoning, (2) is subject to being tested and can be disproven and (3) can be used to make predictions. |
| control | A standard in an experiment that the experimental condition is compared to. |
| mass | The amount of matter in an object. This measure of matter is unaffected by outside forces such as gravity. |
| density | The ratio of the amount of mass to the amount of volume. D=M/V |
| temperatrue | The measure of kinetic energy in the particles of an object. |
| dependent variable | The thing you are measuring when you do an experiment. |
| measurement | observation with numbers |
| controling variables | keeping everything except your independent variable the same in an experiment |
| Geology | Study of Earth's materials and how it is put together |
| Astronomy | Study of universe, galaxies, stars, planets |
| Biology | Study of life |
| physical science | study of physics and chemistry |
