1. Introduction to Science Test Review
• Metric system and conversion factors
• Common SI units and definitions
• The way scientists calculate averages of data sets involve using
mean, median, and mode and know the definition of the terms
• Basic graphing information (DRY MIX)
• Lab safety
• Quantitative vs. Qualitative observations
• Observing vs. Inferring
• Predicting
• Writing a good hypothesis
• Controls vs. Variables
• Independent vs. Dependent Variables
• Be able to convert using staircase method
• Be able to identify correctly written hypotheses
• Know and be familiar with the steps in the scientific method
• Know which variable gets graphed on each axis

• Difference between mass and weight

2. • Common units of measure (mass, density, volume, length, area,
perimeter, etc…)
• Measurement tools (balance, ruler, thermometer, formulas, etc…)
• How to convert temperature with a given formula
