Our Solar System:
Vocabulary: planet, gravity, dwarf planet,
comet, meteor, asteroid, The Sun
1. Balls of dusty ice that have a tail and
orbit the sun freely. Their tails can
be millions of miles long.
1. _______Comets______________________________
2. Pieces of metal or stone that fall
through the Earth's atmosphere and
burn up. The burning material is often
called a "shooting star".
2. _____Meteor____________________________________
3. Space object that is smaller than a
planet and is unable to clear its own
orbit of large objects.
3. _____dwarf planet______________________________
4. The force of attraction between
objects. This causes the planets and
other space objects to maintain their
elliptical orbit around the sun.
5. Space object made of rock, metal or a
combination of the two. Most lie in a
belt between Mars and Jupiter and can
be quite large.
6. Space objects that are large enough to
clear their own orbit of other large
objects.
4. ______gravity___________________________________
5. ______asteroid___________________________________
6. _____Planet____________________________________
7. _____The Sun_________________________________
7. Largest space object in the solar
system that all the other objects
revolve around.

closest to the sun to farthest from the
sun.
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn,
Uranus, Neptune

12. List the 6 steps of the scientific
method in order.
A. _____Problem________________
Word bank: conclusion, hypothesis,
research, problem, experiment,
observation/data
C. _Hypothesis (If….then…statement)
B. _____Research_______________
D. _Experiment (materials, Procedure)
E. Observaton/data (data table,chart)
F. _Conclusion (My hypothesis was
correct/incorrect because…)__
Write the correct step for each definition. (Conclusion, observation, hypothesis, problem,
experiment, research)
13. Refers back to the hypothesis. Tells
Conclusion
whether you hypothesis was supported or
not.
14. A detailed list of items needed to do
Experiment
your experiment. Includes amounts
needed. Also includes the steps used to
complete the procedure.
15.
An educated prediction using the
Hypothesis
...if...then format.
16. The step that states a question about
Problem
what experiment you are doing.
17. The step that describes by using your
senses and recording what you
see/measure in an organized way.
Observation/Date
18. Step that uses books and the internet
to gather information.
Research
Label the examples of the scientific method steps correctly. (Conclusion, research
observation, hypothesis, experiment, problem)
19. I think if I put seeds in cup at
Hypothesis
different temperatures then the seed at
the warmest temperature will grow the
fastest.
20.
Experiment
Part A:
4 seeds, 4 cups with paper towels, and 4
lamps
Part B:
1. Place a seed in each cup with a wet
paper towel. 2. Place the cups under
heaters placed at 4 different
temperatures. 3. Check 1 week later.
21. What happens when you put seeds on a Problem
moist paper towel at different
temperatures?
22. My hypothesis was supported because
the warmest seed grew the fastest.
Conclusion
23. After one week the warmest seed grew
the most, 2nd warmest next, coldest next,
and the 3rd warmest grew the least
amount.
Observation/Data
24. Before I began my experiment I went
on the internet and looked in books to
gather information about seeds and
temperatures they grow at.
Research
Fill in the correct vocabulary word for each definition. (independent variable, dependent
variable, control, constant, repeated trials)
25.
Conducting the experiment many times Repeated Trials
to compare result.
26. The variable that is changed on
Independent Variable
purpose and is called the “I” variable
27. The materials in the experiment that
stay the same in every trial.
28. The variable that responds to the
independent variable. You cannot control
this variable.
29. The variable that stays the same in
every repeated trial.
30. The title of an experiment is: “The
Number of Turns of Wire Affects the
Number of Nails an Electromagnet Will
Pick Up.” What are the independent and
dependent variables?
Constants
Dependent
Control
A
B
Omar’s mom always puts her used tea
bags under her African violet plants. She
says this keeps the plants healthier. Omar
wondered if the kind of tea in the bags
made a difference. He collected used tea
bags from local restaurants.
Omar used 16 identical African violet
plants. Under the first four plants, he put
three orange spice tea bags. He put three
lemon tea bags under the next four
plants. Under the next four plants, he put
three blackberry tea bags. Finally, under
the last four plants, he put nothing.
After 30 days, he rated each plant’s health
by observing its color and measuring its
height.
