Worm Facts
This type of worm has been featured in our experiments for the last 4 weeks.
What is a "superworm?"
This variable is known as the "cause" in the experiment.
This word means gathering data based on what you see, hear, feel, smell, or taste.
What is "an observation?"
When creating a line graph, the dependent variable goes on this part of the graph.
What is "the y axis?"
TUBS-Fill-E is a strategy for this reading comprehension skill.
What is "annotation?"
Our worms are a type of this class of animals.
What are "insects?"
This variable is known as the "effect" in an experiment.
What is the "dependent variable?"
This word is an assumption you make based on something you observe.
What is "an inference?"
When creating a line graph, the information for the independent variable goes on this part of the graph.
What is the "x axis?"
This symbol is used to mark questions that have multiple parts.
What is "a star?"
When our worms get ready to transform, they do this.
What is "curl up?"
In the worm experiment, this is the dependent variable.
What is "the rate of transformation?"
This is a prediction that you make about what will occur in an experiment.
What is a "hypothesis?"
When creating a line graph, a scale that starts with 0, 7, 14, 21, 28 will have this number next.
What is "35?"
"Describe" is one example of this.
What is a "command word?"
Some of our worms were eaten by fly larvae, also known as this word.
What are "maggots?"
In an experiment, the conditios that are the same in both the experimental group and the control group are called this.
What are "control variables?"
This is the format we write all hypotheses in.
What is "If...then...because?"
This word can be defined as a "system of marks at fixed intervals."
What is "a scale?"
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?"
These are 2 variables that may affect the rate of transformation of our worms.
In an experiment to study the effect of gatorade on plants, the plants that receive water are part of this.
What is the "control group?"
"What is the effect of temperature on the rate of transformation?" is an example of this.
What is an "experimental question?"
This type of graph represents data with rectangular bars and can also be called a column chart.
What is a "bar graph?"
This part of TUBS-Fill-E is not used in short answer questions. (Include what it stands for.)
What is the "E" for "Eliminate?"
