What qualities should be included in a graph?
Title, axis lables, legend, scale
200
What does a good observation include?
It includes observation from all five senses and actual data from the experiment.
200
Why is it important to recognize a trend when looking at a graph of data?
It helps identify the overall results of the experiment.
200
What are limitations?
Factors that cant be controled in an experiments.
200
What elements make a good hypothesis?
If it has the manipulted variable, responding variable and reasons for why you think a certian would happen.
200
What is a manipulated variable?
The variable that is changed.
300
Why is it important to have a well written procedure in a scientific investigation?
Having a well written procedure in a scientific investigation because when the proper steps are followed the experimental data can be reliable and other could copy your experiment for further research.
300
What does it mean when data is unreliable?
It means that it is undependable.
300
How would you set up a control in a scientific investigation?
You would create a trial that doesn’t use the manipulated variable
300
What is the correct form of a hypothesis?
If, then, because
300
What is the responding variable?
What occurs because of of the manipulated variable.
400
Why is it vital to correctly follow a procuedure?
To ensure accurate results.
400
What makes data unreliable?
Mistakes in the experiment that would compromise the data
400
How would you set up the experimental trial of a scientific investigation?
You would create a trial identical to the control but use the manipulated variable
400
what is not an attribute of the scientific method?
Variables
400
What are controlled variables?
Variables that are teh same in both the control and experimental trials.
500
Why is it important to gather all materials before conductiong an experiment?
It is important because you need to set up all necessary equipment and make sure everything is correct before starting the experiment.
500
What makes data reliable?
When data is consistant and collected from an experiment that had no mistakes that would compromise data.
500
What does a well conducted experiment include?

500
What is a good analysis?
A good analysis looks at all the data to find the overall result.
500
What are repeated trials?
When the entire experiment is repeated to get another set of results
