In this graph, scientists counted how many seeds were made by a fruit depending on how the flower was pollinated. (Self pollinated, by a bee or by the farmer/manual) What is the MANIPULATED/Independent variable?

• The number of seeds

• The type of fruit

• How the flower was pollinated (self, bee, manual)

In this graph, scientists counted how many seeds were made by a fruit depending on how the flower was pollinated. (Self pollinated, by a bee or by the farmer/manual) What is the CONTROL/constant variable?

• The number of seeds

• The type of fruit

• How the flower was pollinated (self, bee, manual)

The MANIPULATED/Independent variable is:

• The item the scientist or "I" am testing in the experiment

• The item that is changing BECAUSE of the experiment

• The item(s) that have to stay the same or constant in the experiment

A seventh grade science class has been working for two months on an intensive plant lab in the garden, experimenting with growing greens under plastic coverings and under cloth coverings to find out which material better protects plant growth in the winter. Cress is a type of edible plant. Their data is shown in this graph.

What is the X axis for this graph?

• Length in cm

• Weeks

• Cress Growth

• Plastic/Cloth
