Methods of Science
A process that uses observation and investigation to gain knowledge about events in nature.
Science
Variable that is being changed.
Independent Variable
Display discrete data using rectangular bars.
Bar Graph
What is the term for "measures how much" mass is packed into a given volume of a substance
Density
the study of the Earth's composition, rocks, minerals, and geological processes
Geology
involves a series of steps that are used to investigate a natural occurrence
Scientific Method
Variable being measured.
Dependent Variable
Depict trends and changes over continuous time or other continuous variables.
Line Graph
