Individuals make scientific - sounding claims that are not supported by trustworthy, methodical scientific studies
What is Pseudoscience
100
A group of subjects who are exposed to a particular treatment
What is Experimental Group
100
Based on just one or a few observation people conclude that there is or is not a link between two things.
What is Anecdotal Observation
100
Experimental subjects do not know which treatment (if any) they are receiving
What is Blind Experimental Design
100
An experiment in which an observer tests a hypothesis by looking for changes brought on a system by holding constant all variables but the one under observation. The evidence confirms or disproves the idea (hypothesis) used as an explanation for a natural event.
What is Controlled Experiment
200
A group of subjects who are treated identically to the experimental group, which one exception - they are not exposed to the treatment.
What is Control Group
200
A proposed explanation for observed phenomena, in the form of a statement, created by researchers when they speculate upon the outcome of a research experiment that is testable, falsifiable, and realistic.
What is Observed Hypothesis
200
Logical consequences of the hypothesis
What is Scientific Prediction
200
Receiving knowledge of the outside world through our senses, or recording information using scientific tools and instruments. Any data recording during an experiment.
What is Scientific Observation
200
Any experimental condition applied to the research subjects
What is Treatment
300
Knowledge based on experience and observations that are rational, testable, and repeatable. All evidence used must be observable by one of the five senses or made observable by a machine we build.
What is Empirical
300
Characteristics of an experimental system that are subject to change
What is Variable
300
In a controlled experiment is the only factor that is allowed to be adjusted
What is Independent Variable
300
In a controlled experiment is the factor that the independent variable will affect
What is Dependent Variable
300
Subjects are arbitrarily assigned into experimental and control groups
What is Randomized
400
When one variable increases, so does the other
What is Positive Corralation
400
An explanatory hypothesis for natural phenomena that is exceptionally well supported by the empirical data
What is Theory
400
The study of living things
What is Biology
400
A set of analytical and mathematical tools designed to help researchers gain understanding from the data they gather
What is Statistics
400
An experiment that makes it possible to decisively determine whether a particular hypothesis is correct
What is Critical Experiment
500
The three champions provided in the Battle Tutorial on League of Legends are: Garen, _______, and Ashe.
What is Ryze
500
A hypothesis (HO) that states a lack of relationship between two factors, which the research tries to disprove, reject, or nullify
What is Null Hypothesis
500
A general, fact-based understanding of the basics of biology and other sciences
What is Scientific Literacy
500
The ability to (1) use the process of scientific inquiry to think about real-world issues that have a biological component (2) communicate these thoughts to others and (3) integrate these ideas into decision making
What is Biological Literacy
500
The frequently observed, poorly understood phenomenon in which people respond favorably to any treatment
