What is the study of natural event and conditions?

A simplification of a model that makes it easier to understand or manage.
What is a limitation?
400
A testable ide or explanation that leads to a scientific investigation.
What is a hypothesis?
400
The variable that the scientist manipulates in an experiment and the data shown on the x-axis.
What is an independent variable?
400
When different scientist complete the same experiment in order to prove the results are valid.

What is a testable idea or explanation?
500

What is the scientific method?
500
The variable a scientist could change but chooses to keep constant during an experiment.
What is a controlled variable?
500
The testable question for the following experiment. A student drops 4 rocks of different mass from the same height and measures the amount of time each takes to fall, then calculates the speed at which each rock fell.
What is how does the mass affect speed of a falling object.
