What is the difference between a growth mindset and a fixed mindset? Explain

Growth mindset is a bleief that you can grow your brain and what you are born with is just a starting point. Fixed mindset is the belief that what you are born

You want to test if the amount of sunlight affects the number of tomatoes a plant produces. What is the independent variable?

The amount of sunlight

You are testing how different types of paper airplanes (construction paper, notebook paper, cardboard) affect how far they fly. What is the dependent variable?

Distance the plane travels

Why are constant variables important in an experiment?

They keep the experiment results reliable.

You are creating a graph for an experiment testing whether the amount of water (20 ml, 40 ml, 60 ml ) affects plant height (cm). What would be a good title for the graph?

Does the amount of water given to a plant affect its growth?

Write a hypothesis using the information provided. Independent variable: the amount of water given to a plant (15 ml, 20 ml, 25 ml) Dependent variable: the plant's growth in cm

If a plant is given 15ml, 20 ml and 25 ml, the the plant will grow the tallest in 25 ml of water because plants need water to grow.

In a conclusion the experimenter should indicate whether the hypothesis was ___________

Supported or not supported by the data

You are creating a graph for an experiment testing whether the amount of water (20 ml, 40 ml, 60 ml ) affects plant height (cm). What should go on the y axis (vertical)

Plant growth in centimeters

True or False: A theory can become a law? ______________

False

You want to test if the amount of sunlight affects the number of tomatoes a plant produces. What should be kept constant?

Type of plant, amount of soil and water

You want to test if the amount of sunlight affects the number of tomatoes a plant produces. What is the dependent variable?

Number of tomatoes a plant produces

The ________ variable is what you change or manipulate during an experiment.

Independent variable

You are testing how different types of paper airplanes (construction paper, notebook paper, cardboard) affect how far they fly. What is the independent variable?

Type of material

Write a hypothesis using the correct format: (Scenario: You are testing whether the type of liquid—water, soda, or juice—affects how tall bean plants grow in 3 weeks.)

If a plant is given water, soda or juice, the plant will grow the tallest in water.

A student tests whether temperature affects how quickly sugar dissolves in water. What is the dependent variable?

Time it takes to dissolve

True/False - Your experiment is reliable if you change more than one thing. Explain your reasoning.

False

Which of the following is the best definition of a hypothesis in science?

The variable that is being measured in an experiment.

Dependent

A student tests whether temperature affects how quickly sugar dissolves in water. What is the independent variable?

temperature

You are testing how different types of paper airplanes (construction paper, notebook paper, cardboard) affect how far they fly. What in one constant in the experiment?

The way the plane is constructed

You are creating a graph for an experiment testing whether the amount of water (20 ml, 40 ml, 60 ml ) affects plant height (cm). What should go on the x-axis (horizontal)?

Amount of water
