Unit 1 Science of Life Test

A series of steps used by scientists to solve a problem or answer a question. 

• scientific method
• recipe
• data collection
• metric system

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

• dependent variable
• independent variable
• data
• control group

Testing a hypothesis often involves a(n):

• answer
• experiment
• problem
• safety check

What is a hypothesis?

• A hypothesis is the right answer to an experiment.
• A hypothesis is the wrong answer to an experiment.
• A hypothesis is an educated guess.
• I don't know.

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

• conclusion
• procedures
• materials
• responding variable

The name of the information that you get from your experiment (you organize it into charts and graphs).

• observations
  conclusion
• data
• variables
• hypothesis

Dependent variable means

• the scientist controls what to test
• educated guess
• ask a question
• what is being measured

What is the first step in the scientific method?

• Ask a question
• Conclusion
• No Horse Play
• Observe

This part of the experiment serves as a basis of comparison; the one variable being tested has been omitted. 

• experimental group
• control group
• data
• variables

What step does every scientific experiment begin with?

• hypothesis
• question/problem
• procedures
• conclusion
