Experimentation - The act of designing and conducting experiments or tests.
Variable(s)- Parts of an experiment that can change and/or cause a change in the results.
Constant(s)- The part of the experimentation that doesn't change.
Control - A test group in an experiment where a variable is not changed.
Hypothesis - An idea that predicts how anything works
- A simple statement that can be tested to see if it is true or false.
Theory - An idea correctly predicts how something will behave, it is a theory.
If an idea explains all the facts, or evidence that we have found, it is also a theory.
Practice:
____1.Come up with a question
____2.Develop a hypothesis
____3.Design an experiment to test your hypothesis
