Accuracy | Refers to the closeness of measurements to the correct or accepted value |
Conversion Factor | A ratio derived from the equality between two different units that can be used to convert form one unit to another. |
Density | The ratio of mass to volume |
Derived Unit | Combination of SI units form these |
Direct Proportion | the relation between quantities whose ratio remains constant, when A changes then B changes by the same factor; also called direct ratio |
Hypothesis | A testable statement |
Inverse Proportion | opposite in size, degree, or rate of development |
Model | In science is more than a a physical object it is often an explanation of how phenomena occur and how data or events are related |
Percent Error | The accuracy of an individuate measurement compared to the accepted value |
Precision | The closeness of a set of measurement to each other |
Quantity | Is something that has magnitude , size or amount |
Scientific Method | A logical approach to solving problems by observing and collecting data formulating hypotheses, testing hypotheses, and formulating theories based on data |
