whats an Independent variable? | the one variable you change in the experiment |
whats a Dependent Variable? | the variable you expect to change after you do the experiment |
whats an Hypothesis? | a possible answer to a question based on gathered information |
what is data? | information collected from observation and experiment |
what is Constants? | all the variables that do not change in the experiment |

what is a Triple Beam
Balance? | triple beam balance is used to measure the mass of solid objects in grams |

whats an Thermometer? | thermometer is used to measure temperature in either degrees Celsius or degrees Fahrenheit |
what are Inferences? | they are predictions that are made by studying the observations. |
how do you form a hypothesis? | by taking nature and forming it into a question. |
how do you test a hypothesis? | they do it by designing experiments |
how do you collect data? | you do it by using resources to do data on. |
how do you Interpret data? | by using charts from experiments and interpreting the data. |
How do you Communicate Results? | they draw conclusions about their hypothesis. |
