How does mass affect the force needed to move an object?

Back

The greater the mass of an object, the more force is needed to move it.

Front

What is an experiment?

Back

A scientific procedure undertaken to make a discovery, test a hypothesis, or demonstrate a known fact.

Front

Why is it important to repeat experiments?

Back

Repeating experiments helps ensure that results are reliable and not due to chance.

Front

What is a variable in an experiment?

Back

A factor that can change in an experiment, which can affect the outcome.

Front

What is a hypothesis?

Back

A proposed explanation for a phenomenon, which can be tested through experimentation.

Front

What is the purpose of a control in an experiment?

Back

To provide a standard for comparison, ensuring that the results are due to the variable being tested.
