| Constant | The parts of the experiment that stay the same. |
| Responding Variable | "The variable that may change; for example, the height the plants" grow. |
| Hypothesis | "A possible explanation for a scientific question; the format is: If… then…" |
| Observation | "I use my senses to gather information; for example, I notice polar bears have white fur." |
