1
If both the mass and volume of an object increase, what relationship is established?
control
direct
inverse
constant
2
What is an observation?
thought
possible theory
tested statement
using your 5 senses
3
What is an inference?
theory
scientific law
educated guess/hypothesis
not valid scientific principle
4
What is the formula to solve for mass?
M = D X V
M = D/V
D = M/V
M = V/D
5
Graduated cylinder filled to 10 mL.Sphere dropped in.Rises to 13 mL.What's the sphere's volume?
10 mL + 3mL = 13 mL
10 mL + 13 mL = 23 mL
13 mL - 10 mL = 3 mL
13mL - 3 mL = 10 mL
6
