100

This body system is a group of organs working together to help you breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide. It includes the lungs.

What is the respiratory system?

100

This variable is known as the "cause" in the experiment. It is what a scientist changes at the beginning of an experiment.

What is the "independent variable?"

100

This word means gathering data based on what you see, hear, feel, smell, or taste.

What is "an observation?"

100

When creating a line graph, the dependent variable goes on this part of the graph.

What is "the y axis?"

100

TUBS-Fill-E is a strategy for this reading comprehension skill. 

What is "annotation?"

200

THIS includes the heart, arteries, and veins, which all help transport blood.

What is the circulatory system?

200

This variable is known as the "effect" in an experiment. It is what a scientist measures at the end of an experiment.

What is the "dependent variable?"

200

This word is an assumption you make based on something you observe.

What is "an inference?"

200

When creating a line graph, the information for the independent variable goes on this part of the graph.

What is the "x axis?"

200

This symbol is used to mark questions that have multiple parts. 

What is "a star?"

300

THIS body system breaks down food into nutrients such as proteins, carbohydrates, and fats.

What is the digestive system?

300

An investigation is carried out to determine the effect of exercise on the rate at which a person can squeeze a clothespin. THE INDEPENDENT VARIABLE in this experiment is....

What is exercise?

300

This is a prediction that you make about what will occur in an experiment.

What is a "hypothesis?"

300

When creating a line graph, a scale that starts with 0, 7, 14, 21, 28 will have this number next. 

What is "35?"

300

"Describe" is one example of this.

What is a "command word?"

400

These are TWO things that the blood transports around the body.

What are glucose and oxygen?

400

In an experiment, the conditions that are the same in both the experimental group and the control group are called this.

What are "controlled variables?"

400

Doing THIS is one way to make your experiment more reliable.

What are multiple trials?

400

This word can be defined as a "system of marks at fixed intervals."

What is "a scale?"

400

Not to be confused with "title," this is the first thing we annotate for when we annotate with TUBS-FILL-E.

What is "a topic?"

500

We need oxygen and glucose for THIS process.

What is cellular respiration?

500

Find the average of the following numbers. Round to the nearest whole number.

80, 100, 67, 55, 44, 90

What is 73?

500

In an experiment to study the effect of exercise on pulse rate, the group of people who rests is called THIS.

What is the "control group?"

500

This type of graph represents data with rectangular bars and can also be called a column chart.

What is a "bar graph?"

500

This part of TUBS-Fill-E is not used in short answer questions. (Include what it stands for.) 

What is the "E" for "Eliminate?"
