What is can be tested and may be (not necessarily will be) found false?
This is the basic unit for length in the metric system.
What is the meter?
The variable that you manipulate directly.
What is independent variable?
The name of the axis where the independent variable is placed.
What is the X-Axis?
A possible, testable explanation for some observed phenomenon.
What is a HYPOTHESIS?
The tool best used to magnify objects in the presence of light.
What is a Light Microscope?
The variable that you expect to respond to the treatment.
What is the Dependent Variable?
The step in the scientific method where you gather data.
What is the Results?
A tool best used to measure the volume of a liquid.
What is a graduated cylinder?
Variables that could affect the dependent variable, but are not the independent variable.
What is are controlled variables?
The dependent variable goes on this axis.
What is the Y-Axis?
The type of data which deals only with whole numbers.
What is Discrete Numerical Data?
In the metric system, a change in units (e.g. - from cm to mm or cm to dm) involves a change by a factor of what.

Mathematical "tools" or practices used to make sense of data.
What are Statistics?
The subjects which receive the independent variable.
The Experimental Subjects.
These graphs are used to show a change in something over a period of time.
