This assignment by Kayla Wilson explores the fundamentals of the scientific method, including the distinction between pure and applied sciences. It highlights the importance of recycling and conserving light for environmental benefit and advances education through technological innovations. The assignment also covers key concepts such as fair testing, independent and dependent variables, observations, conclusions, types of graphs, and statistical measures like mean, median, and mode. These concepts are crucial for understanding scientific inquiry and analysis.

Pure and Applied Sciences • Pure- Recycling, & Conserving light. • 1. • 2. Pure: Help the environment. Applied: Don’t help environment. Help education.

Iv,Dv,Cv • Iv- independent variable. Something you change. Ex: Water amount, soil amount. • Dv- dependent variable. Changes as result to what you changed. Ex: Growth of plant • Cv- Constant variable. Stays the same.
