A student wants to conduct an experiment to find out how heart rates change as the length of time spent exercising, increases. The dependent variable will be... a.) breathing rate b.) heart rate c.) time spent exercising d.) the kind of exercise
b.) heart rate

The tool used to measure the length of an object.
What is a metric ruler or meterstick?
200
The variable that you make different in order to test it.
What is a Independent VARIABLE?
200
What is the name of the horizontal (side to side) axis, AND what goes there?
What is X-AXIS and the INDEPENDENT variable
200
An educated guess or prediction for what might happen in an experiment.
What is a HYPOTHESIS?
200
A student wants to conduct an experiment to find out how heart rates change as the length of time spent exercising, increases. The independent variable will be... a.) breathing rate b.) heart rate c.) time spent exercising d.) the kind of exercise
c.) time spent exercising

The tool best used to measure the volume of a liquid.
What is A GRADUATED CYLINDER?
300
The variable that you observe or measure during an experiment.
What is a Dependent VARIABLE?
300
True or False: You don't need to label the bottom and side of a graph.
FALSE!
300
The step of the scientific method where you make graphs, look for patterns, and think about what happened.
What is the ANALYSIS?
300
A student wants to conduct an experiment to find out how heart rates change as the length of time spent exercising, increases. What do you think the constants are?
The person, the type of exercise, the way the heart rate is taken

What is a TRIPLE BEAM BALANCE?

A student wants to conduct an experiment to find out how heart rates change as the length of time spent exercising, increases. What is the control? (You have to really think about this one, its no so obvious)
The initial heart rate taken before the exercise was started
400
What would you use to look at cells?

What is the Y-AXIS and the dependent Variable
