This is an organized procedure to study something under controlled conditions to find out the cause of something they have observed.
What is experiment?
100
This type of graph will show a change over time when recording the growth of a kitten.
What is line graph?
100
This is the variable being changed or manipulated by you and can be found on the X axis when creating a graph.
What is the independent variable?
100
This give scientists the opportunity to collect data in an original setting such as going outside to make observations of the natural world and surroundings.
What is fieldwork?
200
Earth Science, Life Science, & Physical Science are the 3 main categories found here in the subject.
What is the Natural Sciences?
200
This is the process of obtaining information by using the senses such as taste, sight, smell, sound, & touch.
What is an observation?
200
This equipment is used to record temperature of an object.
What is a thermometer?
200
This is the result or outcome after the variable has been changed.
What is dependent variable?
200
This occurs when an activity is repeated by the same person.
What is repetition?
300
This is a description of a specific relationship under given conditions to the natural world which have been proven.
What is Scientific Law?
300
This is a testable idea or explanation that leads to scientific investigation and can be tested by experiment or observation.
What is a hypothesis?
300
This information is collected and recorded onto a table with a title, categories, quantitative or qualitative information, with the independent variable in the left column.
What is data?
300
This variable is what one is being compared to because the outcome is already known, it will stay the same.
What is the controlled variable?
300
This occurs when an activity is repeated by a different person and should get the same results as the previous person.
What is replication?
400
This is a well supported explanation of nature and help us to understand the laws we observe which have not been proven.
What is Scientific Theory?
400
When scientists define a problem, form a hypothesis, investigate, identify variables, collect data, analyze data, and draw a conclusion are all part of this.
What is a Scientific Investigation?
400
This is missing from the table below:

When creating a graph, this variable will be found on the Y axis.
What is a dependent variable?
400
The current model of the atom looks differently today than 300 years ago because scientists did this.
What is a new observatio?
500
This is all the measurements and data scientists gather in support of a scientific explanation, which are considered facts.
What is Empirical Evidence?
500
This is what 2 or more scientists do when each may have different ideas about a scientific concept in order to resolve their differences.
What is a debate?
500
These graphs can be created when working with categories.
What is a bar graph or circle graph (pie chart/pie graph)?
500
This variable test the hypothesis of an investigation such as the type of food an animal would eat.
What is an independent variable?
500
Sometimes scientists study these because of the real life size of the actual object being study to better understand that object.
