The variable you can change is the
Independent variable
How many steps are in the scientific method
7
Is gravity a contact or non-contact force?
Non-Contact
Draw on a graph someone that has stopped for a few minutes
A straight horizontal line
What does V = D / T mean in words
Velocity = distance divided by time
The variable you are observing is the
Dependent variable
What is the first step in the scientific method
Question / Problem
Is friction a contact or non-contact force?
Draw a constant rate of speed on your board
A straight line going from the bottom left toward the upper right
If a car drives 100 miles in 2 hours, what is the speed
V = D / T
V = 100M / 2 H
V = 50 MPH
The wavelength of light.
What step in the scientific method is after Hypothesis?
Experiment
Is applied force a contact or non-contact force?
Contact
What are the three things you have to have on a graph
Lable
unit of measure
numbers equidistant on the lines
If a car goes 60 miles in 3 hours, what is the velocity
V= D/T
V = 60M/3H
V = 20 MPH
Emma creates an experiment to see if changing the wavelength of light will have an effect on the growth of a plant. What is the dependent variable?
The growth of the plant
A scientific experiment is done over and over by many people. Everyone get the same result. At this time it can be called a
Scientific Theory
Name three non-contact forces
Gravity
Magnetism
Electrostatic force
Draw on your graph a person that leaves home and them comes home
Line from the bottom left, up and then back down
I drive to my friends house that is 200 miles away. If it takes me 4 hours to get to the store, what is my average velocity
V = D / T
V = 200 M / 4 h
V = MPH

If you drop a 10 lb bowling ball and a 1 pound pool ball in a vacuum from 100 feet, which object will hit the ground first?
They will hit at the same time
A car drives to a store, stops for a bit then drives home
Line from the bottom left, horizontal for a bit, then then back down
A car drives 10 miles in 10 minutes. It stops for 20 minutes. It then drives 20 miles in 10 minutes. It stops for 5 minutes and then drives home in 45 minutes.
What is the total time of the trip, and what is the total distance driven
total time = 10 + 20 + 10 + 5 + 45 = 90 minutes
total distance = 10 + 20 + 30 = 60 miles
