The variable that is on the Y-axis
What is the Dependent Variable
100

Inferred Explanations based on data over time.  Does not use numbers

What is Theory

200
List of variables that will not be changed from one level to another
What is Constants
200
Characteristics involving quality or kind
What is a Qualitative Observation
200

Find all the violations: A student carefully pours an unknown solution from a test tube into a beaker without wear safety glasses. Another student sneaks up and surprises her, and she accidentally drops the beaker on the floor and pieces of glass land on her flip flops.

What are: Not wearing safety glasses. Sneaking and surprising wearing flip flops

What is Science

300
A variable that is changed or manipulated on purpose by the experimenter
What is Independent or Manipulated Variable
300

There are 24 Seventh Graders, so it is easy for Mrs. Budke to teach

What is Inference

300
Find all the violations: A student is in the middle of a science experiment where they have to boil a solution for a long time. When the student gets bored and wanders over to talk with his friends, a sweatshirt left on the desk near the hot plate catches fire
What are: leaving the hot plate unattended leaving clutter on the table
300
Use this type of graph when your independent or manipulated variable is continuous
What is a Line Graph
300

If/ Then statement of the effect of the independent variable on the dependent variable

What is hypothesis

400
To make up and plan an experiment , how it will go and what it will prove
What is Experimental Design
