1 Unit 0 Science Fundamentals

2 Science – the process seeking explanations for natural phenomena by collecting data through observation and experimentation.

3 Experiment – a test under controlled conditions to provide evidence for a hypothesis

4 Independent Variable – the variable that is manipulated by the experimenter
Dependent Variable – the variable that changes as a direct result of changes to the Independent Variable

5 Controlled Variables – variables that remain constant and unchanging during an experiment

6 Theory Rationale Explanation Hypothesis – an educated guess Cause
Independent Variable Effect Dependent Variable Theory Rationale Explanation
