Step Up
This is a series of steps used by scientists to solve a problem or answer a question.
What is the Scientific Method
The two types of variables in an experiment.
What is the independent and dependent variables.

answers will vary
What's the difference between the eye of an owl, and the eye of a chameleon?
What is, the owl has an eye that is unable to move in its socket, and the chameleon can move its eyes independently in its socket. Also and owl has huge pupils that allow it to see in the dark.
