Acid
corrosive chemical that reacts with many other substances
Aim
what an experiment is designed to investigate
Apparatus
equipment used during experiments e.g. Bunsen burner
Average
calculated by adding numbers together and dividing by how many pieces of data you had
Conclusion
what you found out from the experiment, what you decided
Control variables
those variables that are kept the same (do not change) in an experiment
Corrosive
chemicals that can destroy tissue, including eyes and skin (along with lab desks)
Data
facts of information collected during an experiment or investigation.
Dependent variable
the variable that is determined by the independent variable (graphed on the vertical axis)
Fair test
experiment when one variable is investigated at a time, same investigation must also be repeated
Graph
a diagrammatic representation of experimental results, makes relationships easier to identify
Hazardous
risky or dangerous
Hypothesis
an educated guess at what the result of an experiment, or answer to a problem might be
Independent variable
the variable that is purposely changed in an experiment (graphed on the horizontal axis)
Inferences
explanation of observations (may or may not be correct)
Meniscus
the curved upper surface of a liquid in a tube
Method
the way an experiment is carried out
Observation
information about experiments collected by using one or more of the senses
Safety codes
a set of rules to ensure personal safety in the science laboratory
Scale
marks on apparatus indicating amounts of a measurable quantity
Scientific diagrams
simple, side on, two dimensional, pencil drawings of lab apparatus
Scientific method
standard method of scientific investigation
Table (data)
experimental results listed in an orderly fashion
Variable
a quantity being measured in an experiment. (e.g. temperature of water being heated)
