| A | B |
| Constant | Variable that stays the same during an experiment. |
| Dependent Variable | Factor that is being measured during an experiment. |
| Experimental Research Design | Used to answer scientific questions by testing a hypothesis through the use of a series of carefully controlled steps. |
| Independent Variable | Variable that can be changed during an experiment. |
| Science | Process used to investigate what is happening around us in order to solve problems or answer questions. |
| Technology | Application of science to make useful products and tools, such as computers. |
| Lab Equipment | Instruments used in a science lab or hospital. |
| Scientific Method | Ways to solve problems that can include step-by-step plans, making models, and carefully thought-out experiments. |
| Model | Represents something that is too big, to small, too dangerous, too time consuming, too expensive, or happens too quickly or too slowly to observe directly. |
| Hypothesis | Prediction or statement that can be tested and may be formed by prior knowledge, any previous observations, and new information. |
| Descriptive Research | Answers scientific questions through observation. |
| Control | Sample that is treated like other experimental groups excepts that the independent variable is not applied to it. |
