Fair test
• Controls variables.
• You repeat the test and it’s the same.

Iv,Dv,Cv
• Iv- independent variable. Something you change. Ex:
Water amount, soil amount.
• Dv- dependent variable. Changes as result to what you
changed. Ex: Growth of plant
• Cv- Constant variable. Stays the same. Ex: Plant, pot.

Conclusions
• Finishing up data.. Summary of data. Ex: My
hypothesis was proven true. The more time
given the more sit-ups you did.

Bar/line graph
• Bar- when you compare data. Ex: Drinking
water to not drinking water.
• Line- When time is involved. Ex: Amount of
push-ups done in 5 minutes.

Qualitative/Quantitative Statements
• Qual.- No numbers involved. Ex: I have a pink
throw over.
• Quan.- Numbers involved. Ex: I have 10 dogs.

Mean/Medium/Mode
• Mean- Numbers added up and divided by amount
of numbers. Ex:1465=16/4=4
• Medium- Middle number. Ex: 14752=7
• Mode- Most repeated number. Ex:28537435=3

Hypothesis/theory
• Hy- Educated guess. Ex: I think the more time
given the more miles you’ll run.
• Theory- repeated science experiments that come
up with same results. Ex: Oranges are orange.
