There are two types of data. Which type of data involves numbers that are obtained by counting or measuring?

• quantitative
• qualitative
• independent
• dependent

In a controlled experiment, how many independent variables can be studied?

• one
• none
• two or more
• how ever many makes sense.

A student sets up an experiment to see how the mass of a ball affects the distance it rolls off a ramp.  Identify the independent variable.

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

A student sets up an experiment to see how the mass of a ball affects the distance it rolls off a ramp.  Identify the dependent variable.

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

When experimenting with the growth of a plant, a scientist uses three plants of the same type, two different fertilizers, equal light, and equal water. What type of variable is the fertilizer?

• Dependent
• Independent
• Control
• Constant

An experiment is performed on plants to see how different liquids affect plant growth. Each plant in the experiment is given a different liquid; water, apple juice, or milk. Each plant has the same amount of soil and sunlight. In this investigation, what is the dependent variable?

• Type of plant
• Water, apple juice, milk
• Plant growth
• Color of the plant's leaves

This part of the experiment serves as a basis of comparison; it does not include the variable being tested. 

• experimental group
• control group
• data
• variables

Maintaining a stable internal environment.

• Homeostasis
• Metabolism
• Stimulus
• DNA
