Where do we write down and organize our results from an experiment?

What type of variable are the things we keep the same in an experiment?

What do we call the If, Then Statement in an Experiment?

You should run an experiment several times to make sure your results are consistent. In the preceding phrase, what does "consistent" mean?

Place the following steps in sequence: A) Recognizing a problem; B) Testing a hypothesis; C) Drawing inferences

Read the lab procedure for a controlled experiment that looks at the effect of heat on the circumference of bicycle tires.

Step 1: Pump up six identical bike tires to the recommended air pressure.

Step 2: Place three tires under heat lamps, and keep the other three tires at room temperature.

Step 3: After four hours, measure the circumference of each tire.

Step 4: Record your results in the table.

Step 5: (?)

Which step should be next in this procedure?

A statement that can be tested or is an educated guess is known as what?

What should an experimenter do after analyzing data?

Constants are factors in an experiment that stay the same. True or False?

When we test our hypothesis, there are two types of variables. What are they?

In an investigation that uses the scientific method, which step immediately follows making a hypothesis?

Which best describes the act of using senses or tools to gather information?
