What is a warm front
a front where a warm air mass is caught between two colder air masses and brings cool temperatures and large amounts of rain and snow
front when cold air moves under warm air which is less dense and pushes air up (produces thunderstorms heavy rain or snow)
a front where warm air moves over cold air and brings drizzly rain and then are followed by warm and clear weather
a boundary that separates a moist air mass from a dry air mass

Control Variables (constants)
observations that do use numbers
any variable that does not change during an experiment.
a prediction and states whether the independent variable will have an effect on the dependent variables
Control Group
a group in an experiment that does not receive the special treatment.
the group in the experiment being tested and receives the special treatment
any variable that does not change during an experiment.
Conclusion
the group in the experiment being tested and receives the special treatment
observations that do not use numbers
the final statement in an experiment-states whether the hypothesis was correct or not and the result/s of the experiment
Procedure
the steps taken in an experiment
facts, numbers, or values obtained in an experiment…usually presented in a chart/table/graph form
the group in the experiment being tested and receives the special treatment
