100
This is when you use numbers and measurements in an observation.
What is quantitative observation
200
This is an observation made using sense words.
What is a qualitative observation.
200
Jamie recorded the height of her sunflower plant each week for a month.
What is collect data. Step #4
200
This is the variable that a scientist changes to test the hypothesis.
What is a manipulated variable.
200
Describes the difference between the maximum and the minimum numbers.
What is the range.
200
This is the 3rd step in the scientific method where you test your hypothesis.
What is design an experiment
300
This is when you explain or interpret something that is observed.
What is an inference.
300
Jose made a poster displaying a graph of the data and results from his experiment.
What is communicate results. Step # 6
300
This is the variable that changes as a result of the experiment.
What is a responding variable.
300
Looking for patterns in data and expressing these patterns in words or pictures.
What is analyze.
300
This is the 6th step in the scientific method where scientists talk with other scientists.

400
This is a representation of complex systems
What is a model.
400
Jodey did research at the library and thought about what she already knows about bees and said, "If a flower is brightly colored, then a bee will come and drink nectar."
What is create a hypothesis. Step # 2
400
These variables are included in the hypothesis.

This is the middle number in a group of numbers.
What is the average.
500
Something that changes or can be changed in an experiment.
What is a variable.
500
Mia looked at the data that she had collected and figured out the average and range. She found patterns in her data by using a bar graph.
What is analyze data. Step # 5
500
There can be multiple of this variable in an experiment.
What is a control variable
500
Why do we analyze data?
To identify patterns in data and understand the results of your experiment
500
Why is the scientific method a cycle?
Because there are always new questions to be explored!
