Introduction to Physical Science

The science that studies the properties of matter and their relation to energy is:

• Physics

• Biology

• Chemistry

Matter is:

• Everything around you.

• Anything that occupies space and has mass.

• Both.

• Neither.

Matter depends directly or indirectly on:

• volume

• energy

• density

• temperature

Physics allows you to study and calculate things that cannot be perceived by plain sight, such as soundwaves.

• True

• False

The application of science for practical use is called:

• engineering

• mathematics

• technology

A reasoning in which a general rule is structured upon individual observations or facts is called:

• inductive reasoning

• deductive reasoning

• hypothesis

Reasoning that usually starts with "if... then..." clause and suggests that something can be true based on a generalization is called:

• inductive reasoning

• deductive reasoning

• rationalization

Aniela is doing an experiment following the scientific method to answer a question she has already established. What should she do next?

• Theorize.

• Jump right into designing and doing the experiment.

• Make a hypothesis.

• Communicate.

Orlando was doing an experiment requiring he took measurements of the growth of plants. What kind of data is this?

• Qualitative observation

• Quantitative observation

Joseph is experimenting with chemical reactions. He observes that when mixing baking soda and vinegar, bubbles are produced. What kind of observation has he made?

• Qualitative observation

• Quantitative observation
