Study Tips:
1. What safety rules should you always follow while doing a science laboratory?
2. Define the vocabulary. (Note: you don’t need to memorize these, but you should have an idea of what they mean so that you can use them in your writing)
3. Practice finding volume and calculating density of objects.
Sample Questions:
1.
What is the standard unit for measuring mass?
2.
How could you find the volume of a rectangular box?
3.
Why is the volume of a rectangular object measured in cubic units?
4.
If you could break up a carbon dioxide molecule, would you still have carbon dioxide?
