Graphs
Data Tables
100
Observations using your senses to observe the results (sight, touch, smell, hear, taste)
What is Qualitative Observations
100
The one thing in an experiment you change on purpose
What is the Independent Variable
100
List the steps of the experiment
What is procedure
100
The horizontal line on a graph is known as the
What is the "x-axis"
100
At the very top of your data table you must include:
What is a TITLE (identifying the variables and what you are measuring)
200
A visual representation of the relations between certain quantities(data) plotted with reference to a set of axes (usually x and y)
What is a Graph
200
In a scientific experiment, this is a change brought about by changing the independent variable
What is the Dependent Variable
200
Summarize what you have learned
What is conclusion
200
The vertical line on a graph is known as the
What is the "y-axis"
200
The purpose of a data table is to:
What is to help sort, analyze, and compare data gathered from a science experiment.
300
observations that are made with instruments such as rulers, balances, graduated cylinders, beakers, and thermometers. These results are measurable.
What is Quantitative Observations
300
Things that you keep constant during an experiment (do not allow them to change)
What is Control Variables
300
"If, then, because" statement/prediction
What is Hypothesis
300
True or False: An interval is the distance between one number and the next on the scale of a graph.
What is TRUE
300
The columns on the right should be labeled with the measurable effect resulting from changing the independent variable, also known as the:
What is the Dependent Variable
400
refers to whether the experiment is testing what it says it is testing. Is the hypothesis being tested correctly?
What is Validity
400
I will use the same type of baseball bat, same location, and the same ball being hit with the bat.
What is the Control Variable
400
State the problem
What is Pose a question
400
Every Graph should start at what number?
What is 0
400
The column on the left should be labeled with what will change, also known as the:
What is the Independent Variable
500
This refers to whether results are repeatable (show a consistent pattern)
What is Reliability
500
I change the type of baseball bat each person uses
What is the Independent Variable
500
Look for trends in your data (analyze)
What is Interpret Data
500
Where should you place the titles on a graph
What is on the top of the graph, x-axis, AND y-axis
500
All data tables should include these 4 parts:
What is a title, variables, measurable unit (i.e: inches, meters, degrees etc.), and repeated trials.
