100

This is the first step in the scientific method.

What is, to make observations?

100
This is the definition of an experiment.

What is, a scientific procedure undertaken to make a discovery, test  hypothesis, or demonstrate a fact?

100

This is the base unit of measurement for length?

What is, a meter?
100

What is the definition of science?

What is, the systematic study of nature through observation and experimentation?

200

This is the second step of the scientific method

What is, to ask questions?

200

This is a definition of a dependent variable in an experiment.

What is, the variable that changes because of this control?
200

This is used to measure volume, smaller than 100.

What are, centiliters?

200
This is the definition of empiricism.

What is, knowledge that can be gained by the senses?

300

These are the third and fourth step of the scientific method.

What are, to conduct background research and form a hypothesis?

300

This is the definition of an independent variable.

What is, the variable being controlled in the problem?
300

This is used to measure mass, even smaller than 1000?

What are, milligrams?
300

This is the definition of a hypothesis

 What is an assumption, an idea that is proposed for the sake of argument so that it can be tested to see if it might be true. In the scientific method, the hypothesis is constructed before any applicable research has been done, apart from a basic background review. (Merriam Webster)

400

These are the 5th and 6th steps of the scientific method.

What are, to design and conduct an experiment and to analyze the data collected from it?

400

This is an explanation of why constants and controls are important in an experiment.

What is, the importance of measuring the impact or effect of a particular phenomenon by observing change?

400

This would be used to measure the distance from here to Boston.

What are, kilometers?

400

This is the definition of of inductive reasoning

What is inference of general laws from particular things (Example: Newton’s apple to infer laws of gravity.) 

500

This is the final step of the scientific method.

What is to communicate results and REPEAT the process?

500

This was the control in the gummy bear experiment last week.

What was, the gummy bear that was placed in the water?

500

This would be used to measure the volume of soda in a large bottle.

What are, liters?

500

This is the definition of deductive reasoning

using general laws to reach specific conclusions. (Example: Using laws of gravity to conclude apple will fall.)

500

Atalya and Tenley wanted to have a contest to see which of their paper airplanes could fly the longest distance. Tenley's plane flew four meters. Atalya's plane flew two hundred and fifty centimeters. Which plane flew farther? By how much distance?

Tenley’s plane flew farther. It flew 1.5 meter farther or 150 centimeters farther than Atalya’s plane.
