| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Accuracy | How well the results of an experiment agree with the accepted value |
| Analysis | This is a process of interpreting experimental results. |
| Bar Graph | This is a graphical means of quantitative comparison by rectangles with lengths proportional to the measure of the data or things compared |
| Beaker | This is a container used for mixing or heating of chemical solution |
| Conclusion | This is an answer deduced from the analysis of data |
| Data Set | This is a compilation of information, usually quantitative, that represents measures of a variable or set of variables. |
| Dependent Variable | In an experiment, the condition that results from changes in the independent variable. |
| Evidence | This is data from an experiment, which is used to verify or reject the original hypothesis in the conclusion |
| Experiment | Scientific procedure followed to obtain results for analysis. This is also a means to test a hypothesis. |
| Flask | This is a container used for storage of chemical solutions. |
| Graduated Cylinder | This is a container used for measurement of the volume of a liquid. |
| Hypothesis | This is a testable prediction of the outcome of scientific processes based on analysis |

| Lab Safety | This is the act of being responsible while working on a scientific investigation; following directions, wearing apron and goggles, knowing the location of emergency equipment, etc. |
| Legend | This is used to identify range, data series, and variables within a graph |
| Line Graph | A graph that is represented by points connected by segments |
| Material Safety Data Sheet | This is an official lab safety form that tells the important properties of chemical substances, such as reactivity, health risk, and flammability |
| Meniscus | This is the bottom of the curve of a fluid formed due to adhesion |
| Microscope | Equipment used to magnify and observe small objects |
| Observation | This is a process of watching an experiment and noting what occurs |
