| What is step 5 of the scientific method? | Draw Conclusions |
| What is step 6 of the scientific method? | Communicate Results |
| What is it called when only 1 factor is tested at a time and all the other parts of the experiment stay the same except for 1? | controlled experiment |
| What is the name of the 1 factor that is changed (tested) in an experiment? | variable |

| Name 3 science process skills | observe, infer, classify |
| A spill or accident should be reported to the teacher. T or F? | T |
| You should push your lab partner. T or F? | F |
| Hair and long or baggy clothes should be tied back. T or F? | T |
| It is ok to make up an experiment and not follow the directions of the teacher. T or F? | F |
| Googles are worn to protect your eyes. T or F? | T |

| Do Snails crawl faster on concrete or glass? (Q,H,E,D,C?) | Q |
| Amber: Left eye: decreased. Right eye: decreased Julio: Left eye: decreased. Right eye: decreased Claudia: Left eye: decreased. Right eye: decreased (Q,H,E,D,C?) | D |
| I will test my lab partner's pupils by covering one eye and shining a light directly into the other. Then, I will note the change in pupil size. (Q,H,E,D,C?) | E |
| If snails move faster on smoother surfaces, then a snail will move faster on glass than on concrete. (Q,H,E,D,C?) | H |
| The results of the experiment showed that pupil size decreases when there is more light present. In order to absorb less light, the pupils shrink. (Q,H,E,D,C?) | C |
| Snail 1: Glass-45s, Concrete- 55s Snail 2: Glass-49s, Concrete-49s Snail 3: Glass-55s, Concrete-56s (Q,H,E,D,C?) | D |
| What make the pupil in the eyes change size? (Q,H,E,D,C?) | Q |
| I will organize snail races on glass and concrete and compare how fast snails travel on each surface. (Q,H,E,D,C?) | E |
| If a pupil shows how much light is visible, then it will get smaller in size when there is more light. (Q,H,E,D,C?) | H |
