• the amount of matter in an object

• are intentionally prevented from changing in an experiment

• the amount of space an object occupies

Scientific law

• to solve a problem or explain an event using collected data and other information

• a tall narrow container with a volume scale used especially for measuring liquids.

• scientists use an _____to guarantee that the measurement is as accurate as possible

• summarizes a pattern found in nature but does not explain why the pattern exists

Volume

• the amount of space an object occupies

• can be changed by the scientist or the environment, sometimes called the manipulated variable.

• the amount of matter in an object

• to solve a problem or explain an event using collected data and other information

Dependent variable

• a reasonable guess about what the answer to the question will be

• are changed as a result of the independent variable, sometimes called the measurable variable

• can be changed by the scientist or the environment, sometimes called the manipulated variable.
