Graphs & Data Analysis
Scientists use this graph, made of plotted points, to show a possible relationship between two sets of data
What is a scatter plot?
This is the final step of the engineering design process.
What is communicating results?
Science influences this part of life through medicine, technology, and many everyday choices
What is society?
This is a representation of an object or process that helps scientists study it in greater detail.
What is a model?
All good invention are thought of because of a ______
What is Problem
This variable is usually placed on the x-axis.
What is the independent variable?
Engineers use science and math to do this when they address practical needs.
What is solve real-world problems?
Science can help people make decisions at all these levels: communities and states, the nation, and this broader level.
What is the international level?
This is a test model of a product.
What is a prototype?
Someone who identifies a problem and then design a solution.
What is Inventor
Scientists make sense of data by doing these three things: organizing it, graphing it, and doing this.
What is analyzing the data?
Engineers build this test model to try out a product design.
What is a prototype?
Ryan sorted rocks by color, measured plant height daily, climbed a tall mountain, and recorded sun hours. Which activity is NOT scientific?
What is climbing to the top of a very tall mountain?
Engineers use a prototype to test a design and make these.
What are improvements?
Any original product, idea, or structure that make life easier.
What is Inventions
These two broad patterns can be shown in graphs.
What are linear and nonlinear relationships?
This skill helps engineers develop original ideas, while methodical thinking helps them work through a design carefully.
What is creative thinking?
Decisions about politics, the economy, and society can be informed by this.
What is scientific information?
A prototype looks and acts like the final product, and engineers use it for this purpose before creating the final version.
What is to test the design and make improvements?
Companies often have a department where people research, create, test, and improve a products
What is Research and development
Name two features a graph should include to help readers understand what it shows and how to interpret its data.
What are a descriptive title and labeled axes?
Put these steps in order: build a prototype; conduct research; communicate results; identify a need; test, evaluate, and redesign; brainstorm and select solutions
What is identify a need, conduct research, brainstorm and select solutions, build a prototype, test/evaluate/redesign, and communicate results?
To show the relationship between the two variables, a ____________________________________ is used.
What is line of best fit
Davis made a rolling basket but one of the wheels keep falling off. So he redesigns the wheels
What is IMPROVE
The design and manufacture of simple and complex products or systems by using the scientific method.
What is The Engineering Design Process
