| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is the definition of Scientific Method - Problem/Purpose? | States a question - reason for doing experiment |
| What is the definition of Scientific Method - Dependent Variable? | Variable measured in the experiment |
| What is the definition of Scientific Method - Independent Variable? | Variable that the experimenter changes to see the results/effect |
| What is the definition of Scientific Method - Hypothesis? | If ... Then ... statement that makes a prediction of results |
| What is the definition of Scientific Method - Conclusion? | Statement at the end of an experiment that states whether the hypothesis is correct or not |
| What is the definition of Scientific Method - Constants? | Things kept the same in an experiment |
| What is the definition of Scientific Method - Experimental Group? | The group in an experiment that gets the independent variable |
| What is the definition of Scientific Method - Control Group? | The group in an experiment that gets none of the independent variable. |
| What is the formula to write a correct hypothesis? - | If (state the one change in the experiment) then (state the results from that change). |
| Where is the Y axis on a graph? | On the side |

| On a bar graph, where is the independent variable labeled? (on the Y axis or the X axis) | X axis |
| What type of label goes at the top of a graph? | A title that explains what the graph represents |

| True or false? A scientist is considered a failure if his/her hypothesis is not correct | False, a scientist can often still get information if their hypothesis was not correct |
