What is a linear graph?
100
Represention of the physical structure of an object or system.
What is a physical model?
100
Find a problem, research, generate ideas, select a solution, develop a prototype, test prototype, evaluate.
What is the engineering process?
200
One tells you what will happen, the other tries to explain why.
What is the difference between scientific theories and scientific laws?
200
The SI system is based on these multiples.
What are multiples of 10
200
Dependent/responding varibles are placed on it.
What is the Y-axis
200
Uses models to imitate the function, behavior, or process of whatever the models represent.
What is a simulation?
200
Accepting risks for benefits or giving up a benefit to gain another.
What is a trade-off?
300
Asking questions that can only be answered with opinions.
What don't count as scientific questions?
300
One measures how much matter is in your body, while the other is the measure of the force of gravity on you.
What is the difference between mass and weight?
300
Points plotted to show a possible relationship between sets of data.
What is a scatter plot?
300
Used to study things that are rare/difficult to find in the natural world.

Used to display and compare data in a number of separate, or distinct categories.
What is a bar graph?
400
Uses different forms of data to represent the way a system/process works.
What is a mathematical model?
400
Matter, energy, or information that goes into a system.
