  • a hypothesis must include an if...then... statement with the dependent variable and the independent variable
  • an independent variable is getting changed
  • the dependent variable is the variable getting measured and is affected by the independent variable
  • controlled variables are variables that are kept the same
  • validity is the accuracy of the experiment and whether it measures what it is intended to measure.
  • reliability is the consistency of the experiment's data and whethe there are any outliers
  • an outlier is a data point that is significantly different from the other data points in the data set
  • to calculate an average you must add all data and divide by the number of data
  • a conclusion is a summary of the experiment and whether your hypothesis is correct and if the experiment was reliable and valid or not
  • igneous rocks are formed from magma that cools and crystallises either at volcanoes on the surface of the Earth or while the melted rock is still inside the crust
  • igneous rocks can have many different compositions depending on the magma they cool from
  • extrusive rocks are formed on the surface of the Earth from lava
  • intrusive rocks are formed when magma cools and solidifies within the crust of the Earth
  • magma is a molten rock that is under the earth's surface
  • when magma rises from the ground, it is called...

    lava
  • the faster the cooling rate, the smaller the crystals grow
  • the slower the cooling rate, the bigger the crystals
  • igneous rocks can be classified into two types based on how they form.
  • Extrusive rocks are formed by fast-cooling magma or lava
  • Intrusive rocks are formed by slow-cooling magma or lava
