What is a hypothesis.
200
An organized procedure to study something under controlled conditions.
What is experiment.
200
Which area of science is concerned with rock layers, volcanoes and weather?
What is Earth Science.
200
Which characteristic means to not believe everything you hear?

200
The factor that is manipulated in an experiment.
What is independent variable.
300
What is the last step of the Scientific Method?
What is draw and defend your conclusion.
300
Observations and measurements that people gather and test to evaluate scientific explanations.
What is empirical evidence.
300
Which area of science includes physics and chemistry?
What is Physical Science.
300
Which characteristic means to wonder about the world?
What is curiosity.
300
If we are doing an experiment on plants where we want to see how much water a plant needs for optimal growth, what would be our independent variable?
What is water
400
The process of obtaining information by using our senses.
What is observation.
400
What is the control group?
What is the group that is there to compare (non-experimental group).
400
Which science is based on faulty logic?
What is Pseudoscience.
400
Which characteristic means to put aside your personal feelings and beliefs?
What is objective.
400
In a plant experiment where we want to see how much water is needed for optimal growth what is the dependent variable?
What is height of plant.
500
Why is it important for scientists to use the Scientific Method?
What is so they all follow a uniform way of conducing experiments.
500
True/False: Hypotheses must be testable and measureable.
What is True
500
True or False: Pseudoscience has evidence to support it.
What is False.
500
Which characteristic means to use common sense?
What is logic.
500
Why is it important that the dependent variable is measureable?
What is so we know if our experiment is working and so we know the change we are seeing in the independent variable.
