The three parts of the conclusion are...

• IV, DV, and constants

• claim, evidence and reasoning.

• TQ, hypothesis, and data table.

• qualitative, quantitative, and made up data.

In our pendulum experiment, changing the length, coin, and drop angle were examples of:

• variables

• controls

• hypotheses

• evidence

A hypothesis is:

• something you change

• a guess about what will happen in an experiment

• a repeated test

• information collected
