Presentation transcript:

Observation Information we get from our senses alone.

Inference An idea or conclusion reached using both our senses and prior knowledge.

Classification Grouping or organizing things based on similar characteristics.

Direct Relationship Both values increase

Inverse (or indirect) relationship As one value increases, the other decreases.

Constant (or static) relationship As one value increases, the other value stays the same.

Cyclic Relationship As one value increases, the other increases and decreases in a predictable pattern.

Extrapolate To predict what will happen next based on known data.

Independent Variable The variable that is changed or controlled in an experiment

Dependent Variable The variable being tested and measured in an experiment

Density The concentration of matter in an object D=M/V

Mass The amount of matter an object possesses

Volume The amount of space an object occupies
