The scientific process has 6 steps. 

1. Observe a phenomena

2. Ask a question 

3. Make an inference 

4. Set up an experiment 

5. ?

6. Draw conclusions 

Analyze Data (collect evidence)

500

Other than the data, graphs should include what 3 things: 

Labels, Legend(Key), Title

500

Kinetic Energy is affected by: 

1. Mass

2. Speed

500

Two things occur during collisions that cause damage (whether it is temporary or permanent). These are:

Energy transfer and Force 

500

The force on both objects in a collisions is: 

1. 

2. 

Equal and in opposite directions
