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.• Source: http://www.google.com/imgres?q=variables%2Bin

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.• Sources:http://www.google.com/imgres?

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• Source:http://www.google.com/imgres?q=colorful

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.
