Inductive reasoning - answer specific to general
Deductive reasoning - answer general to specific
Independent variable - answer variable that is manipulated
Dependent variable - answer variable is the variable being tested and measured in a
scientific experiment
Significant figures - answer All the digits that can be known precisely in a measurement,
plus a last estimated digit
Fahrenheit to Celsius - answer(32°F − 32) × 5/9 = 0°C
Celsius to Fahrenheit - answer(0°C × 9/5) + 32 = 32°F
Blow out pipette - answerThe double rings on the upper end of pipette indicate that the
pipette
Delivery pipette - answerthe delivered quantity of liquid corresponds to the capacity
printed on the pipette
Tare - answera deduction from the gross weight of a substance and its container made
in allowance for the weight of the container
Balance beam - answerscales do not measure weight, instead they value mass
Electronic - answerscales determine the weight of an object
