| Manipulated Variable | The variable that is intentionally changed in an experiment. |
| Responding Variable | The variable that changes in response to another variable (the manipulated variable) changing. |
| Dependent Variable | Also known as the responding variable |
| Independent Variable | Also known as the manipulated variable |
| Control | An experimental group in which the variable being tested is not changed. |
| Graph | A diagram showing the relationship between two variables. |
| Slope | the angle (or rise over run) of the line on a graph. |
| Direct Proportion | The relationship shown when both the independent and dependent variable both increase on a graph. This may also be seen if both variables are decreasing on a graph. |
| Inverse Proportion | The relationship shown on a graph in which one variable increases, and the other variable decreases. |
| Data | Information collected during an experiment. |
| Data Table | A chart used for recording data collected during a lab. |
| Procedure | A list of steps used to complete an experiment. |
| Line Graph | A graph in which points are plotted, and then connected by a line to show their relationship. |
| Bar Graph | A graph in which data is displayed by category, and then compared side by side with other categories. |
| Circle Graph/Pie Chart | A circular graph that is divided up into sectors. |
