an instrument used to measure the volume of liquids

to gather information

tells us how fast the particles of matter are moving

the format of a hypothesis is:

a testable question can be

to perform a test to support or disprove a hypothesis

it does not matter how many variables you change in an experiment

a unit used to measure the volume of liquids

often the last step in the scientific method

anything that takes up space and has mass

the amount of space something takes up

the unit used to measure temperature

mass is measured using which units

to place things into groups
