• Experimental Plan
• Materials List

A list of steps that tells how to complete an experiment

• Materials
• Procedure
• Conclusion
• Dependent Variable

Which of the following is NOT part of a conclusion

• A description of the results and numerical data
• A description of errors and how these errors effect the experiment
• An educated guess about the outcome of the experiment
• Suggestions to improve the experiment when it is repeated

Important information observed using your 5 senses and written while doing an experiment is called

• Data
• Hypothesis
• Materials
• Conclusion

The group in an experiment that has all of the normal conditions is the

• Control Group
• Experimental Group
• Data
• Materials

To make sure your experimental results are reliable, you should:

• Write more than one hypothesis
• Use more than one variable
• Only do the experiment one time
• Repeat the experiment many times

• If the plant is grown in red light, then the plant will die. 
• The plants are dying
• Plants prefer sunlight
• Plants grow tall in red light
