5. Definitions Hypothesis- an educated guess Variable- one thing to test Control- leaving one thing in its natural state Inference- conclusion

6. Four Properties of a Good Experiment 1. Subjects need to be similar and more than 1 subject for each group. 2. Conditions should be the same except for the one variable being tested. 3. Need a controlled group. 4. Results should be reproducible or else not valid

7. Q: If a scientist does not prove the hypothesis correct is the experiment a failure? A: No because it is just a guess. Q: Why do scientist use steps anyway? A: To be organized. Q: Why is it important for a scientist to design a good experiment? A:So they can get results to solve the problem.
