This is the type of data that is gathered using numbers or measurements.
What is quantitative data?
This is the type of variable that does not change during an experiment.
What is a constant?
This is the first step of the scientific method.
What is ask a question based on an observation?
The acronym DRY MIX explains that this variable goes on the x-axis.
What is the independent variable?
This is something that is gathered using the 5 senses based on a phenomenon.
What is an observation?
This is the type of data that is descriptive.
What is qualitative data?
This is the variable that is measured, and is usually on the y-axis.
What is the dependent variable?
This is something a scientist should make before doing an experiment.
What is a hypothesis?
This is the type of graph that connects data in a linear way, and it shows a trend over time.
What is a line graph?
This is the difference between a theory and a law.
This is a logical explanation about an observation that may or may not be correct.
What is an inference?
This is the variable that is manipulated during an experiment.
What is the independent variable?
This is the last step of the scientific method that allows other scientists to replicate the experiment.
What is sharing results?
This part of a graph always includes both the independent and dependent variable and helps explain what the experiment is testing.
What is the graph title?
Conducting 6 trials of the same experiment is an example of this.
What is repetition?
Ethan says that he thinks his last period of the day will be chaotic because they are doing a review game in class. This is an example of this based on his observation.
What is a prediction?
Preston wants to determine how much salt in water it takes to get an object to float. This is the independent variable in the experiment.
What is the amount of salt?
Every experiment needs these to ensure that no other variable is affecting the dependent variable other than the independent variable.
What are controlled variables?
This is the dependent variable of this graph.
What is the number of students?
This is the difference between an inference and prediction.
What is: Inference is about the past/present, and prediction is about the future.
Data can do this action to a hypothesis.
What is "support or not support?"
Holden wants to try an experiment that Preston did. This is what this process is called.
What is replication?
An experiment needs these two methods of displaying data in order to visualize trends and draw conclusions.
What are data tables and graphs?
This is the order of least popular to most popular color based on the graph.
What is green, orange, red, yellow, blue?
This is the SI unit for mass.
What is kg?
