QOHS Biology midterm
10th grade - MCPS
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Conclusion | |
| Control | |
| Data | information obtained from experiments, sometimes called experimental result. |
| Dependent Variable | the condiction that results from changes in the independent variable. |
| Experiment | procedure that tests a hypothesis by collecting information under controlled condition. |
| Hypothesis | explaination for a question or a problem that can be formally tested. |
| Independent Variable | the condction tjhat is changed because it effects the outcome of the experiment. |
