What is a metric ruler or meterstick?
200
The variable that you change in order to test it.
What is a INDEPENDENT VARIABLE?
200
What is the name of the horizontal (side to side) axis? Where you would place the Independent variable.

200
This is the basic unit for volume.
What is the liter?
200

What is A GRADUATED CYLINDER?
300
The variable that you observe or measure during an experiment. It changed because of another variable.
What is a DEPENDENT VARIABLE?
300
True or False: You don't need to label the bottom and side of a graph.
What is False?
300
The step of the scientific method where you make graphs, look for patterns, and think about what happened.
What is the DATA ANALYSIS?
300
Which unit of length would be best suited to measure the distance from Houston to Dallas?
What is the Kilometer
300
A tool best used to measure the mass of an object.
What is a TRIPLE BEAM BALANCE?

Something that stays the same to keep an experiment fair.
What is a CONTROL variable?
400
The number of water drops on each side of the penny would be graphed on this axis. Where the dependent variable always goes.
What is the Y-Axis?
400
When you use prior knowledge and and your observations to make a conclusion of what happened.
