| WILL THE COLOR OF LIGHT AFFECT THE MASS OF FOOD CHICKENS EAT? | PROBLEM |
| scientific instrument that precisely measures the volume of a fluid | graduated cylinder |
| scientific instrument that measures length, width, and height | ruler/meterstick |
| tool used for measuring mass | triple beam balance/digital scale |
| Level of water in graduated cylinder is 42 mL , volume of water when marble is added is 45 mL...what is volume of marble? | 3.00 mL |
| If the type of food chickens eat changes, then the number of eggs laid will change. | hypothesis |
| student looks up information about problem statement online | research |
| scientific unit for measuring volume of regular object | cubic centimeters (cm^3) |
| word that is used to begin a problem statement | "Does" or "Will" |
| word that is used to begin hypothesis | "If" or "As" |

| INTERVIEW WITH FARMER BROWN ABOUT CHICKENS | RESEARCH |
| The hypothesis stated the type of water sealer would affect mass of wood blocks soaked in water. The data collected supports the hypothesis. | CONCLUSION |
| Starts with “Does” or “Will”, contains IV and DV, and ends with “?” | PROBLEM |
| -Written as numbered steps -Each step begins with a verb, “command” statements | PROCEDURE |
| -Restates hypothesis -States whether hypothesis is supported or not supported | CONCLUSION |
| If the type of sealer changes, then the amount of mass wood blocks will change. The blocks that have the sealer that contains carboxyl will gain the least amount of water. | HYPOTHESIS |
| The wood blocks with carboxyl applied gained an average of 26.32 grams. The wood bricks with acetyl acetate applied gained an average of 33.77 grams. | RESULTS |
| Will ___________affect ______? | PROBLEM |
| If ___________ decreases, then ________ will decrease. | HYPOTHESIS |
| 1. Get 30 wood blocks 24 cm x 6 cm. 2. Apply 25 mL of carboxyl sealer to 10 of the wood blocks. 3. Allow to dry for 24 hours. 4. ….continued | PROCEDURE |
| -Contains numbers. -Usually refers to statistical analysis like average, mean, median, or range. | RESULTS |
| THE CHICKENS WITH THE WHITE BULB AVERAGED EATING 40.23 KG OF FOOD PER DAY AND THE CHICKENS WITH THE BLUE BULB AVERAGED 37.89 KG OF FOOD PER DAY. | RESULTS |
| THE DATA COLLECTED INDICATED THE HYPOTHESIS SHOULD BE SUPPORTED. THERE WAS A MEASURABLE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE MASS OF FOOD EATEN WITH THE WHITE BULB COMPARED TO THE BLUE BULB. | CONCLUSION |
| NUMERIC OUTCOMES OF THE EXPERIMENT | RESULTS |
| CHECKING OUT A WEBSITE REGARDING FRICTION | RESEARCH |
| AS THE TYPE OF SURFACE CHANGES, THEN THE DISTANCE TOY CAR WILL TRAVEL CHANGES | HYPOTHESIS |

| the part of the experiment, that the person doing the experiment changes or controls | INDEPENDENT VARIABLE |
| part of the experiment being measured | DEPENDENT VARIABLE |
| mass of food chickens eat | DEPENDENT VARIABLE |
| amount of sunlight | INDEPENDENT VARIABLE |
| the non-experimental group | CONTROL GROUP |
| keeps all necessary parts of the experimental design the same so the only effect caused by IV | CONSTANTS |
| repetition of the experiment; should have a minimum of 10 for each group | RETESTS/TRIALS |
| type of water sealer | INDEPENDENT VARIABLE |
| mass of wood blocks after soaking in water | DEPENDENT VARIABLE |
| The same amount of time the wood blocks are soaked in water. | CONSTANT |
| The wood blocks not treated with sealer. | CONTROL GROUP |
| Thirty trials for each type of wood sealer and the control group. | RETESTS |

| REPEATNG THE EXPERIMENT MULTIPLE TIMES (AT LEAST 10) FOR EACH TEST/IV GROUP | RETESTS |
| TEN TRIALS FOR EACH TYPE OF SURFACE. | RETESTS |
| PARTS OF THE EXPERIMENT KEPT THE SAME SO THE ONLY REASON FOR A DIFFERENCE IN DATA IS THE IV | CONSTANTS |
| SHOULD NOT REFER TO THE IV OR DV | CONSTANTS |
| THE SAME LENGTH OF RAMP. THE SAME HEIGHT OF RAMP. THE SAME AERODYNAMICS OF TOY CAR. THE SAME TIRES. THE SAME METHOD FOR RELEASING THE CAR. | CONSTANTS |
