If the Mississippi river is nearly
4,000 km long and an M&M is
1cm long how many M&M’s
would it take to measure the
Mississippi river?
$200
Make an observation or ask a question
What is the first step in the
scientific method?
$400
True
True or False: The scientific
method is a cycle rather than
a list of steps.
$600
What is a hypothesis?
A testable explanation or
predication
$800
Quantitative and qualitative
Two types of data you can
gather.
$1000
Your research has been reviewed and
accepted by other scientists.
What does it mean to be
“peer reviewed”?
$200
Manipulated variable
The independent variable can
also be called what?
$400
Responding variable
The dependent variable can
also be called what?
$600
Provide baseline for data, comparison
What is the purpose of the
control group?
$800
The group being exposed to the experiment
What is the experimental
group in an experiment?
$1000
Things that remain the same in the lab
What are controlled
variables? (constants)
$200
To describe what the graph is representing.
What is the purpose of the title
for a graph?
$400
X axis
What axis does the
manipulated variable go on?
$600
Y axis
What axis does the dependent
variable go on?
$800
The effect of different
activities on heart rate
in humans

What type of graph best represents the data?
$1000
A visual representation of the data, shows
trends in the data
What is the purpose of a
graph?
$200
Resting heart rate
In the Heart rate lab what was
the control group?
$400
activity
What was the manipulated
variable in the heart rate lab.
$600
Time, activity, trials, location, how you
check your heart rate, etc.
Give 3 controlled variables
from the heart rate lab
$800
Heart rate after activity
What was the dependent variable in
the heart rate lab?
$1000
“what are the effects of standing, jogging
and holding your breath on your heart rate?”
What would be an example of
a “good” testable question for
the heart rate lab?
$200
Daphnia Heart Rate Before being exposed
to substances
In the Daphnia Lab what was
the control group?
$400
The substance being exposed to the daphnia
In the daphnia lab, what was
the independent variable?
$600
Heart rate after exposure
In the daphnia lab what was
the responding variable?
$800
Any data with a number
Give an example of
quantitative data you could
have gathered from the
daphnia lab.
$1000
Any observation that involves the senses
(no numbers)
Give an example of
qualitative data you could
have gathered from the
daphnia lab.
