Answer: movement
==================================================
Question: Why is it sometimes difficult to tell if something is alive or not?
Answer: non-living things may have characteristics of life (like fire) and living things may now show some characteristics in a way we can perceive (plants communicating)

Answer: hypothesis
==================================================
Question: It should be stated in the ____ format and must tell exactly what you are going to measure.

Answer: procedure
==================================================
Question: To be considered valid, a scientific experiment has to be ----- many times
Answer: repeated
==================================================
Question: Actual results of the experiment go in the -- section
Answer: results
==================================================
Question: Line graphs are used for ----- data
Answer: continuous
==================================================

Answer: discontinuous, comparing groups
==================================================
Question: In the ---- section, you explain your results, interpret your data, and give ideas for further study.
Answer: analysis
==================================================
Question: In a well-designed experiment, your results are due to just one factor, which is called the ---variable.
Answer: independent
==================================================
Question: The --- variable is the one you measure to get your data.

Answer: control
==================================================
Question: What is the advantage of having a large sample size ?
