Form a hypothesis
Ask a question
Conduct an experiment
Analyze data
2. A testable prediction about the outcome of an experiment is called a/an:
Conclusion
Observation
Hypothesis
Theory
3. Scientists use to gather information using their five senses.
4. A controlled is designed to test a hypothesis.
5. The factor that is changed on purpose in an experiment is called the variable.
