What is the Minimum?
100
The variable that outlines or describes the outcome of an experiment based upon the manipulation (change) of the independent (manipulating) variable, also known as the responding variable
What is the Dependent Variable?
100
The process of designing or testing of a hypothesis to determine if the prediction is correct
What is an Experiment?
100
A series of steps followed to solve problems
What is are Scientific Methods?
100
The area of variation between the upper and lower limits in a set of data
What is the range?
200
The largest or greatest value that occurs in a set of data
What is the Maximum?
200
The variable that is manipulated (changed) in an experiment to test its effect on the experiment, also know as the manipulating variable
What is the Independent Variable?
200
Factual information in the form of measurements or statistics used for the basis of analyzing, reasoning or discussion
What is Data?
200
A prediction made based upon limited information, often written in an "If......., then" statement
What is a Hypothesis?
200
The horizontal plane on a graph and is ALWAYS the location of the independent (manipulating) variable
What is the X-Axis?
300
Statistics or the value that occurs most frequently in a set of data
What is the Mode?
300
The variable that outlines or describes the outcome of an experiment based upon the manipulation (change) of the independent (manipulating) variable, also known as the dependent variable
What is the Responding Variable?
300
Analysis of the data received during an experiment in order to verify if the hypothesis (prediction) was correct
What is a Conclusion?
300
A question proposed in order to find out more information, often the first step of the scientific method
What is a Problem?
300
The vertical plane on a graph and is ALWAYS the location of the dependent (responding) variable
What is the Y-Axis?
400
The middle term in a series arranged in order of magnitude; however, if there is no middle term then the mean (average) of the two middle terms becomes the _____.
What is the Median?
400
The variable (item or object) that is manipulated (changed) in an experiment to test its effect on the experiment, also known as the independent variable
What is the Manipulating Variable?
400
An explanation that ties together many hypotheses and observations
What is Theory?
400
An innocuous or inoffensive substance used especially in controlled experiments testing the efficacy of another substance (as a drug)
What is Placebo?
400
A variable or a trial in an experiment that does not include the independent or manipulation variable.
What is the Control Variable?
500
The quotient of the sum of several quantities and their number (Average)
What is the Mean?
500
The variable or variables in an experiment that do not change, they remain the same throughout the whole scientific process
What is the Constant Variable?
500
A statement based on repeated experimental observations that describes some aspect of the same conditions, and implies that there is a causal relationship involving its elements.
What is a Law?
500
A pattern, plan, representation, or description designed to show the structure or workings of an object, system, or concept
