The variable that you are looking at to see if or how changes will effect it.
What is dependent or responding variable?

What is a variable?
200
In this step of the scientific method a scientist will put their hypothesis to the test.
What is perform an experiment ?
200
A series of steps used by scientists/people to help find solutions to problems and/or questions.
What is the scientific method?
200
Why scientists repeat an experiment multiple times.
What is increase reliability and compare results?
300
These variables are kept the same throughout the entire experiment so that scientists may know that one the independent variable has effected the dependent variable.
What are the constant variables ?
300
A judgement that follows and is based on the results of analyzing the data an experiment, and share their findings with those around them as well as the scientific community as a whole.
What is conclusion ?
300
In this step of the scientific method a scientist will use the information at hand to predict and create a statement that they may test to solve a problem.
What is hypothesis?
300
Something that a scientist uses to organize their data into rows and column for easy use.
What is data table or chart ?
300
Form a hypothesis: Would planting a dead fish with a flower make it grow faster?

What is the control group?
500
All good conclusions need to include what 6 parts?
What is restate the problem, give the major data or results, tell how they support hypothesis, evaluate how they compare to others, give a possible explanation, and suggest new recommendations?
500
The first step of the scientific method.
What is the purpose or problem ?
500
This step includes using the information and observations that were gathered to ask more questions or graph results to study closely.
What is analysis ?
500
Early Native Americans believed planting a dead fish with a flower make it grow faster. If you preformed this experiment, this would be the control group.
What is flowers planted without the dead fish?
