A possible explanation to a problem that has not yet been tested. 

• data
• theory
• hypothesis
• fact

This variable in an experiment is the one being deliberately changed by the scientist. 

• dependent variable
• independent variable
• data
• control group

• height of the ramp
•  distance traveled by the ball
• mass of the ball
• weight of the ball
