The mode of a set of data is the

number that appears most often in the set.

An object will float in water if the object’s density is

less than the density of the water

The median of a set of data is the

middle number of the ordered set.

The independent variable in an experiment is the

one factor that a scientist changes during anexperiment.

Volume is the measurement of

the amount of space that matter occupies.

The range of a set of data is the

difference between the greatest and largestvalue.

Weight is the measurement of

force of gravity acting on an object.

Density is the measurement of

amount of mass per given volume.

The dependent variable in an experiment is the

factor that changes as a result of changes tothe IV.

The control in an experiment is the

group that is used as a comparison.

The constants in an experiment are the

factors in an experiment that are not allowed tochange.

Which instruments are used to measure density?

triple beam balance and graduated cylinder

Mass is the measurement of

how much matter is in an object.
