What is pollen 

100

What is an independent variable?

What you are changing in the experiment 

100

The base unit for length in the metric system.

What is meter?

100

What is the cue question for the independent variable?

What is, "What am I changing?"

100

What you use to record and display your data when looking for relationships among the variables.

What is a data table or graph?

200

After makings observations you begin to draw these conclusions.

What is an inference?

200

What is an observation and what is an inference? Provide an example 

Observation: information we gather through our senses ex: The grass is wet 

Inference: an explanation made for the observation ex: It rained, that is why the grass is wet. 

200

Two tools used to measure mass.

What is triple-beam balance (double pan balance) or a scale?

200
What is the cue question for the dependent variable?
What is, "What am I measuring?"
200

After making observations and inferences you create this which is a possible explanation of your observations and can be tested.

What is a hypothesis?

300

A continuous process where water moves between Earth's surface and the atmosphere by evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and runoff

What is the water cycle 

300

Science is grounded in testable experiments.  Which of these is a testable scientific question?

  1. Is growing plants a fun hobby?

  2. What gas do plants produce during photosynthesis?

  3. What kinds of plants look best by my house?

  4. What potted plants should I grow?

What gas do plants produce during photosynthesis?

300

What is volume and liter?
300
The variables that remain the same for all trial in an investigation so that the experiment can be VALID.
What are the constant variable?
300

If your hypothesis is proven correct this is the next step in the process.

What is repeat the test?

500

Explain how to design a valid experiment.

To create experiment procedures that help to answer the problem question? OR To carefully design/control the variables in an experiment (constant, IV, DV)?

500
Explain why the metric system is much "easier" to use (not WHY scientist use the metric system).
What is it is based on the powers of ten? (all you have to do is move the decimal point when converting between units because of this).
500
