Important information observed using your five senses or measurement tools 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

The experimental group in an experiment should have

• Many different variables
•  The one variable being changed and tested
• All of the normal conditions
• Different materials than the control group

The measured effect during an experiment.

• Dependent Variable

• Independent Variable

• Materials

• Control

An experiment has 10 plants growing in sunlight and 10 plants growing in red light. The plant height is measured after one month. What is a hypothesis for this experiment?

• The plants growing in the red light will grow faster because chlorophyll absorbs red and blue wavelengths.

• The plants are dying

• Plants prefer sunlight more than water

• Plants grow tall in red light
