• is a rope that joins the earth and the moon

A dependent variable

• is affected by other variables in the experiment

• should be part of the experiment title

• is a physical quantity

Control variables

• must be kept the same so as to make the experiment fair

• can be many in an experiment

• affect the dependent variable

• are all red in color

An excellent hypothesis

• is what you think will happen in an experiment because of a sensible scientific reason

• has got a large nose and very small ears

• is only found in nightmares

A list of materials and apparatus includes

• all the equipment that you neeed for an experiment

• tools to measure your variables

• all minions from ancient Rome

Safety measures in an experiment are

• cookies served to grade 6 students so that they can be happy with life
