| Scientific Method | ||
| #1 | An educated guess | Hypothesis |
| #2 | Steps you follow to carry out experiment | Procedure |
| #3 | Usually show in charts and graphs | Results (or data) |
| #4 | Final summary of project communicated to others | Conclusion |
| #5 | First step of the scientific method | Identify problem or question |
| Controls and Variables | ||
| #1 | Group used for comparison, or 'regular' group | Control Group |
| #2 | Variable that is changed or tested by the scientist | Independent |
| #3 | Variable measured by the scientist to see if experiment worked | Dependent |
| #4 | Group that is changed or being experimented on | Experimental Group |
| #5 | If I test the effect of music on plant growth, what is the independent variable? | Music |
| Metric Measurement | ||
| #1 | Standard metric unit for length | Meter |
| #2 | The amount of space something takes up | Volume |
| #3 | The amount of matter in an object | Mass |
| #4 | Formula for density | Mass/Volume |
| #5 | Standard metric unit for mass | Gram |

| Models, Theories, and Laws | ||
| #1 | Model - description made up of mathematical equations and data | Mathematical |
| #2 | Model - something that looks or acts like the object it represents | Physical |
| #3 | Model - system of ideas or a comparison to familiar things to explain an idea | Conceptual |
| #4 | Summary of many experimental results and observations; explains what happens, but not why | Law |
| #5 | Unifying explanation for a broad range of hypotheses and observations supported by testing; can predict what will happen in future | Theory |
