The tool that we decided was the best used/most accurately to measure the volume of a liquid: graduated cylinder or beaker
What is a graduated cylinder?
100
This is the name given to your explanation of something you have observed. For example, you see and hear a dog barking at the entrance to a cave and think that there is something inside the cave
What is an inference?

A measure of how much 3D space an object takes up. (hint - liquid measurement)

What is volume?

True of False: Science could be used to determine if Gods or supernatural entities exists. 

What is False? (While science can co-exist with faith, but it can't prove or disprove the existence of supernatural forces.)

200
This is the last step of the scientific method during which one decides if his/her hypothesis is supported or refuted.
What is the conclusion?
200
A tool best used to measure the mass of a tiny object (under or about 200 grams).
What is a triple beam balance or electronic scale?

Is the following an observation or inference? You notice that there is a broken window in the science lab.
What is an observation?
300
20 centimeters, 30 kilograms, 40 minutes, 2 hours are all examples of ______ data. (qualitative or quantitative)
What is quantitative?
300

TRUE or FALSE: All scientists use the scientific method when studying science all the time. 

What is FALSE? Many times scientists observe or participate in activities that do not involve the steps in the Scientific Method, but they are still doing science.

300
After creating a hypothesis a scientist will often design an ____________to test it.
What is an experiment?
