| a beaker marked in intervals that is used to measure volume | Graduated cylinder |
| a tool used to produce magnified images of small objects | Microscope |
| a tool used to measure weight and force | Spring scale |
| a tool used to measure temperature | Thermometer |
| a cylindrical tube, usually smaller than a beaker, that is open at one end and closed at the other | Test tube |
| The variable that is purposely changed to test a hypothesis is called the | manipulated variable. |
| Manipulated variables are also sometimes called | independent variables |
| The factor that may change in response to the manipulated variable is called the | responding variable |
| Responding variables are also sometimes called | dependent variables |
| All of the other variables or factors, besides the manipulated and responding variables, are known as controlled variables or | constants. |
