If.......then........Statement
IF YOU GROW A TOMATO THEN THEY WILL NOT GROW TALLER THAN TURNIP PLANTS
Create an experiment to test your hypothesis
TESTING/MANIPULATED VARIABLE
What is changed on purpose to get a result
ONLY ONE TEST VARIABLE CAN BE CHANGED AT A TIME
OUTCOME/RESPONDING VARIABLE
What is observed and measured in the experiment.
The outcome of what you changed(testing variable)
CONTROLLED/CONSTANT VARIABLES
FACTORS THAT REMAIN THE SAME
CONTROL GROUP
ORIGINAL OBSERVATION GROUP
1.QUALITATIVE DATA
OBSERVATIONS ABOUT QUALITY OF AN OBJECT USING THE FIVE SENSES
2.QUANTITATIVE DATA
OBSERVATIONS MADE USING NUMBERS
