_______  frequently do not work in a linear sequence. They often have to go _______ through steps or take a different turn or ask new _______ .

The word "science" is derived from the latin word meaning _______ .

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Constants		gathering data
Observation		logical conclusions about observations
Experimental Group		group that does NOT receive the treatment
Inference		group that DOES receive the treatment
Control Group		variables that are kept the same

In the video, the Amoeba Sisters talked about removing barnacles from boats. Identify the variables in their experiment:

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Dependent Variable		Anti-Barnacle Additive concentrations
Controlled Variables/Constants		number of barnacles
Independent Variable		boat model, boat size, environment, time

Every good experiment has variations to their experiment. In this video, the Amoeba Sisters varied the amount of Anti-Barnacle Additive. Which 3 were included in their percentages?

Which two variables go on a graph?

Controlled Variable/Constant

Independent Variable

Dependent Variable

The _______ variable goes on the X-axis while the _______ variable goes on the y-axis.

Which of the following are considered ethical Science "no-nos"?

failure to consider moral consequences

fabrication of data

falsification of materials

failure to comply with regulations
