100
This is the data that you collect during the experiment.
What is a DEPENDENT VARIABLE?
100
This belongs on the top of every graph you make.
What is a TITLE?
100
This step answers the original question (Sums everything up).
What is a CONCLUSION?
100
A unit for length in the metric system (how we measured the slug length).
What is the centimeter (cm)?
100
The tool we used to measure the length of a slug.
What is a metric ruler?
200
This is the part you compare your experiment to.
What is a CONTROL?
200
What is the name of the horizontal (side to side) axis?
What is X-AXIS?
200
Your possible answer to the problem, written as an IF/THEN statement.
What is a HYPOTHESIS?
200
This is a unit for volume. It's how we measured the water for the slug lab.
What is the milliliter (mL)?
200
The tool best used to measure the volume of a liquid.
What is A GRADUATED CYLINDER?
300
The variable that you change, because you are setting up the experiment.
What is an INDEPENDENT VARIABLE?
300
This variable appears along the Y-axis.
What is the DEPENDENT VARIABLE?
300
The step of the scientific method where you make graphs, look for patterns, and think about what happened.
What is the ANALYSIS?
300
When calculating the percentage of food eaten, if the slug ate 2 out of 25 squares, this would be the % eaten.
8%
300
A tool best used to measure the mass of an object.
What is a TRIPLE BEAM BALANCE?
400
Something that stays the same to keep an experiment fair.
What is a CONSTANT?
400
The y-axis is for this type of variable.
What is the DEPENDENT VARIABLE?
400
Numbers, observations, or information you collect in an experiment.
What is DATA?
400
If on day 2, 15 squares of food were left, this would be the percentage eaten.
40%
400
This tool was used to observe the eyespots and tentacles up close.
What is a MAGNIFYING LENS?
500
The number of variables that you can change in an experiment.
What is one?
500
If you have a data table with two columns, the left column always goes on this axis of the graph.
What is the X-AXIS (Bottom of graph).
500
Observations that include numeric data.
What are QUANTITATIVE OBSERVATIONS?
500
We calculated mass of the slugs using this tool.
What is the Triple Beam Balance?
500
This type of graph is best for comparing amounts.
