12. Observations and measurements collected
data

13. Factors that can change in an experiment
variable

14. An observation A scientist sees a plant growing in the shade
at the base of a tree.
This is an example of:
An observation

15. A hypothesis A scientist writes:
The plant, Plantas greenus, grows best in the shade.
This is an example of:
A hypothesis

16. variables constants The amount of water, soil, and temperature
are examples of:
variables
constants

17. The independent variable
The amount of sunlight is an example of
The independent variable

18. A conclusion A scientist writes:
Plantas greenus grows more when grown in the
shade than when grown in partial sun or direct sun.
This is an example of:
A conclusion

20. Constants those variables that are kept the same
Ex: Each plant gets the same
amount of water,
sunlight,
soil

21. Control: item or group that does not receive treatment
item or group used for comparison
Ex: plant that gets no plant food or
the original fish food

22. Independent variable:
Variable that is changed in the experiment.
The treatment being given
What is being tested, investigated
Ex: the plant food
the different brands of fish food

23. Dependent variable: the variable being measured in an experiment.
Ex: the height of the plants
the weight of the mice
