Data Analysis Worksheet for Science

The document discusses analyzing and recording data in a science worksheet. It includes questions about different types of graphs, variables, means, and the steps of the scientific method. The key defines categoric, discrete, and continuous data. It differentiates a hypothesis as a proposed explanation without assumption of truth, while a theory is a well-substantiated and tested explanation for verified factors.
