The Methods of Science
This may be the first thing I notice that prompts me to want to perform an experiment in the first place!
What is an observation?
The formula for density
What is d=m/v
The number of sig figs in 10.0080
What is 6?
The number of inches in 2.54 cm
What is 1 inch?
A subway 6.0" is this long in centimeters.
What is 15 cm?
This is the variable we manipulate or change in our experiment.
What is the independent variable?

I can be collected either quantitatively or qualitatively, and I am a direct result of the independent variable. Which variable am I?
What is the dependent variable?

Your car's gas tank holds 18.6 gallons and is one quarter full. Your car gets 16 miles/gal. You see a sign saying, "Next gas 73 miles." How far can you go on your current amount of gas, and will you make it to the gas station?
What is 74 miles? What is yes?
The worlds strongest man can lift 350. kg. You, also of impressive strength, can benchpress 500. pounds. Convert your impressive max to kg, and tell me who can actually lift more. (1 pound = 453 g)
What is 227 kg, the strong man can lift more?
