5. A __ hypothesis __ is a testable statement.
6. __ constants
_______ are all the things that need to stay the same
during the experiment.
7. In an experiment, you can only have ____ one _____ variable.
8. A _ qualitative _______ observation is one you make with your 5 senses.
9. Measurements taken in lab are an example of _ quantitative _____ observations.
10. An __ inference _____ is an interpretation based on your knowledge
and observations.
11. A ____ balance _____is used to measure mass.
12. A _ graduated cylinder ____ is used to measure volume.
13. Goggles are worn in the lab when working with __ chemicals _____,
______ fire _______________ and _______ glass ____________.
14. Burning paper is a _________ chemical ___ change.
15. Ice melting is a _____ physical ________ change.

the independent variable and Underline the dependent variable for #19.
19. The higher the hikers climb in altitude, the less oxygen there is to breathe.
IV: altitude
DV: amount of oxygen
20. What is the formula to calculate density? D = m/v
21. Using the following information, find the density: (show your work)
Mass: 30 g
Volume: 15 mL
D= m/v
30g/15mL = 2g/mL
22. If an object’s density is higher than water’s, it will
float
or
sink
in water.
23. If an object’s density is lower than water’s, it will
float
or
sink
in water.
24. What is the measurement for:
_________29mL_________ (don’t forget your units)
25. What is the measurement of the apple in:
_____________________________
(don’t forget your units) 10mL – 5mL = 5mL
26. What is the measurement for the key: ______3.3cm___________ (don’t forget your units)
27.

28. Convert the following measurements:
204.6 cm = 0.002046 km
58.26 dg = 5826 mg
6284.25 hL = 628425 L
29. Put the scientific method in the correct order (1-7):
__5___Collection of data
___1__Problem
__4___Procedure
__3___Materials ___2__Hypothesis __7___Conclusion
__6___Analysis
30. List 4 of lab safety rules and 4 unsafe safe behaviors.
31. Identify if the following is physical or chemical change. Then explain why.
Rust- Chemical change
Why? When something rusts, the metal that is rusting is changed into a different substance- iron turns into iron oxide.
Nail polish- Physical change
Why? The nail polish is unchanged, the water it was physically mixed with evaporated. It is just coating the surface, not
chemically bonding with it.
Tarnish- Chemical change
Why? Tarnish is a type of rust where oxygen chemically combines with silver, producing silver oxide
Flammability- Chemical change
Why? The material you start with, wood or paper, is changed into a new substance, ash.
