100
The first step in the scientific method.
What is... pose a question?
100
2 types of observations.
What are...qualitative and quantitative?
100
2 variables found in a good hypothesis.
What are the independent and dependent variables?
100
All factors in an experiment.
What are... variables?
100
Chart used to analyse data
What is...a graph?
200
In this step you test the hypothesis.
What is...design an experiment?
200
Data using measurements and numbers.
What is...quantitative data?
200
Science teacher's favorite format for a hypothesis.
What is an "If... and then...statement?"
200
Intentionally changed or manipulated by the experimenter.
What is...independent variable?
200
The best chart to use when trying to compare parts of a whole.
What is...a pie graph?
300
Make careful observations and record measurements.
What is...collect data?
300
Data recorded as descriptions or notes.
What is...qualitative data?
300
"My hypothesis was not supported by the data." can be found in this step.
What is...the conclusion?
300
Variables that are controlled or kept the same in each group.
What are... constants?
300
Graphs that are useful in making predictions.
What is a line graph?
400
Present or share your experiment, data and conclusions.
What is...communication?
400
Blue, rough and metal are examples.
What is...qualitative data?
400
Synonym for hypothesis.
What is...prediction?
400
The measured outcome or responding variable.
What is...dependent variable?
400
The x axis usually plots the __________variable.
What is...independent?
500
List all six steps of the scientific method in order.
What is...question, hypothesis, experiment, collect and analyze data, conclusions and communication.
500
Same system of quantitative measurements that make it easier for scientists to share data.
What are...SI Units?
500
Make an If, and then hypothesis to this problem: Does drinking milk build stronger bones?
What is...If you drink milk, then your bones will/not be stronger.
500
Identify the IV and DV: "If soil temperatures rise, then plant growth will increase."
IV: soil temperatures, DV: plant growth.
500
The left side or vertical axis.
What is... the Y axis?
