|---|---|
| what is a hypothesis? | it is a possible explanation for a set of observations or a possible answer to a scientific question. |
| what is An experiment? | it is which only one variable is changed at a time is called a controlled experiment. |
| what is an Test tube? | a cylindrical tube, usually smaller than a beaker, that is open at one end and closed at the other. |
| whats a Graduated cylinder? | a beaker marked in intervals that is used to measure volume |
| whats the factor that may change in response to the manipulated variable? | It is called the responding variable |
| what are the Steps of the Scientific Method? | 1. Problem 2. Research 3. Hypothesis 4. Collect data 5. Analyze data 6. Conclude |
| 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 Control? | the part of an experiment that serves as a standard to which variables are compared |
| what is a Triple Beam Balance? | triple beam balance is used to measure the mass of solid objects in grams |
| whats a Graduated Cylinder? | graduated cylinder is used to measure the volume of liquids in milliliters (mL). It is read by looking at the very bottom of the curve of liquid in the cylinder. |
| whats a ruler? | A ruler is used to measure the length of objects. |

| 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. |
