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

• scientific method
• recipe
• data collection
• metric system

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

• conclusion
• procedures
• materials
• responding variable

Which step asks scientists to make a guess or prediction about what might happen in their experiment?

• Problem
• Research
• Hypothesis
• Conclusion

Why do we want to test one variable at a time?

• Because it is hard to setup a data table with more
• To know what is causing the changes. This helps us understand cause and effect.
• It is what has always been done

The variable that is being measured or observed is called the _______________. Hint: this is the variable that is the result or effect 

• independent variable
• dependent variable
• control variable

What is a constant/control in an experiment?

• Things that do not change inana experiment.  It's the variable that stays the same.  You can have many variables stay the same.
• It's the variables that the scientist changes in the experiment
• It's the variables that are being measured in an experiment

An observation that does not involve measurement or numbers.

• Data

• Quantitative Data

• Qualitative data

• Hypothesis

The factor being measured in an experiment.

• Prediction

• Data

• Dependent variable

• Independent Variable

An observation involving measurements or numbers.

• Quantitative data

• Qualitative data

• constant

• Hypothesis

During this step of the scientific method, a scientist would gather background information. 

• Hypothesis
• Research
• Observation
