200
the step of the scientific method where you test your hypothesis
What is Experiment?
200
This type of observation is measurable.
What is Quantitative Measurement.?
200
Putting my plant in the closet will decrease it's chance of living is missing these statements.
What is... it is missing "If" and "Then" and "Because"?
200
the responding variable or factor that may or may not change due to the independent variable?
What is Dependent Variable?
200
the step of the scientific method in which you use your information to draw conclusions about your experiment
What is Observations and data?
300
the step in the scientific method do you make careful observations and write down what happens?
What is Observe and analyze data
300
This type of observation uses your senses
What is Qualitative Measurement?
300
Will changing the weight of my rocket affect the distance it flies?
State a good hypothesis for this question.
What is...If you increase the weight of the rocket, then it will fly 30 feet farther than the control rocket because weight allows more momentum according to Newton's Second Law?
300
the term we use to describe the deliberate change the experimenter makes in an investigation
What is Independent Variable?
300
The ________________ involves a series of steps that are used to investigate a natural occurrence.
What is Scientific Method?
400
the step of the scientific method do you present your experiment, observations and conclusions to others
What is Share Results?

Does the number of cigarettes smoked increase the chance of getting lung cancer?
State a good hypothesis for this question.
What is...If you increase the number of cigarettes you smoke, then you will increase your chance of getting lung cancer because the American Cancer Society published research on that?

List the independent and dependent variables in the following hypothesis.
If soil temperatures rise, then plant growth will increase.
What is...Independent-soil temperatures, Dependent-plant growth.
500
List all six steps of the scientific method.
What is Question, Research, Hypothesis, Experiment, Observe and analyze Results, Conclusions?

Read the following experiment and state a good hypothesis.
I am doing a test to see if there is a connection between how long you run and how fast your heart beats. I will be performing an experiment where a person will run for a 1 minute and I will check their heartbeat. Then they will run for 2 minutes and I will check their heart rate. I will do this up to 6 minutes and see if there is a connection. What do you think my hypothesis should be?
What is...If I increase the amount of time I run, then my heartbeat will increase.

Find the independent and dependent variables in the following experiment:
If you increase the number of times you practice shooting free-throws, then you will increase your chances of making a basket every time.
What is Independent- practice shooting free throws, Dependent- making baskets.

Thinking about the hypothesis:
If soil temperatures rise, then plant growth will increase.
What might a control in this experiment be?
What is... using the same potting soil, making sure both plants have an equal amount of light etc.
