• Independent Variable

• Dependent Variable

An educated guess based on qualitative and quantitative data

• Conclusions

• Inference

• Hypothesis

• Observation

The control group is..

• the group that stays the same (doesn't receive IV). It's needed to compare.

• the group that is manipulated (the group you are performing the experiment on.)

• Descriptions with numbers

• Descriptions without numbers

The experimental group

• the group that stays the same (doesn't need receive IV). Needed to compare.

• the one thing you change in an experiment

• the group that is manipulated (the group you are performing the experiment on.) This group receives the IV.

• the one thing you measure during an experiment

What are the 4 steps in the scientific method?

• Make a hypothesis, make an observation, make a conclusion/theory, and setup a controlled experiment.

• Make an observation, make a hypothesis, make a conclusion/theory, and setup a controlled experiment.

• Make an observation, make a hypothesis, setup a controlled experiment, and make a conclusion/theory.

The summary at the end of an experiment that explains the results is... 

• conclusion
• procedures
• materials
• responding variable

A testable prediction about a scientific investigation is a(n)

• Question
• Observation
• Hypothesis
• Experiment
