| Research | Finding background information from books, classmates, and the internet |
| Hypothesis | A possible explanation for an observation |
| Procedures | The steps you follow in a scientific investigation |

| Control | This stays exactly the same in an experiment |
| Independent Variable | A variable that the scientist changes |
| Dependent Variable | The responding variable |
| Data | The information that we colelct. This is usually put into tables, charts, or graphs |
| Observation | Using the five senses to gather information |
| Conclusion | What we learned from our investigation and how we might use it again |
| Investigating | To find out, to solve, or figure out |
| Experimenting | Identification and control of variables to arrive at a solution |
| Predicting | Looking for outcomes that you expect to happen based on data and observations |
| Observing | Using the 5 senses to describe: taste, smell, touch, sound, and sight |
| Communicating | How information is passed on |
