DELTA - 400 This is an explanation of observations or events that is based on knowledge gained from many observations and investigations. What is a scientific theory?

DELTA - 500 This is the factor that you want to test in an experiment. What is an independent variable?

EPSILON - 100 These are the factors in an experiment that do not change. What are constants?

EPSILON - 200 This is when you use one or more of your senses to gather information and take note of what occurs. What is an observation?

EPSILON - 300 This is when you use numbers to describe what is being observed in an experiment. What is quantitative data?
