Front

What does a line graph represent?

Back

A line graph represents data points plotted on a coordinate plane, showing the relationship between two variables.

Front

What is the purpose of a hypothesis?

Back

A hypothesis is a testable prediction about the relationship between the independent and dependent variables in an experiment.

Front

What is the significance of replicating experiments?

Back

Replicating experiments is important to verify results and ensure that findings are consistent and reliable.

Front

What is the scientific method?

Back

The scientific method is a systematic process for investigating phenomena, acquiring new knowledge, or correcting and integrating previous knowledge.
