The variable that is manipulated/changed in an experiment
What is an Independent Variable?
Have a definite shape and volume. The particles are tightly packed together and can only vibrate in place.
What is a solid?
The joining of an organisms Genus and Species
What is scientific name?
What is the rotation of the Earth?
Non-numerical information that describes characteristics, qualities, and subjective experiences of phenomena.
What is qualitative data?
Variable that remains the same/constant, so it does not influence the results.
What is a Controlled Variable?

Refers to the process by which living organisms convert energy from carbohydrates and fats into usable energy for their cells
What is respiration?
Occurs when the Moon passes through Earth's shadow, often turning it reddish in color.

What are vertebrates?
As the Moon orbits Earth, the portion of the Moon illuminated by the Sun that is visible from Earth changes
What are the phases of the moon?
