An “If...then…” statement used to design an experiment, which predicts the outcome of that experiment.

• Hypothesis
• Observation
• Draw conclusions
• Controlled experiment

Using the 5 senses to notice or describe events or processes in an orderly, careful way

• Observation
• Hypothesis
• Draw conclusions
• Controlled experiment

This is the step where we analyze what our graphed data could mean, and see whether that data supports or refutes our hypothesis.

• Draw conclusions
• Hypothesis
• Observation
• Controlled experiment

Designed to test a hypothesis. One independent variable is the only difference between the tested groups, the dependent variable is measured, and all other variables are the same across all groups.

A scientific hypothesis must be

• Correct
• Based on personal beliefs or opinions
• Supported

During an experiment, which variables are measured when they respond to the tested variable?

• Dependent variables
• Independent variables
• Hypotheses
• Constants

How many independent variables does a controlled experiment test at a time?

• 1
• 2
• 3
• All variables are independent variables

Which of the following would you do in your conclusion?

• explain whether your data supports (agrees with) or refutes (disagrees with) your hypothesis
• Set up an experiment
• Change the dependent variable
• Count your data
