Techniques and Experiments
100
I describe a set of actions that the universe follows. I'm also the primary goal of science
Natural Laws
100
Objective and Repeatable
Scientific Evidence
100
scientific explanation supported by a lot of evidence collected over a long period of time
Theory
100
Group of variables that are related
System
100
i must be done at least three times to reduce human error
Trial
200
Ask a question Collect Evidence Propose an answer Compare with evidence Ask a better question
Inquiry
200
numbers tables graphs sketches sound recordings
scientific evidence
200
possible explanation that can be tested by comparison with scientific evidence
Hypothesis
200
i don't change
Control Variable
200
a collection of techniques
Procedure
300
Something illegal happened the the detective must figure out who did it. the problem is the detective never actually saw what happened. what must the detective do?
Deduce
300
describes evidence that can be seen independently by others if the same experiment is repeated
Repeatable
300
Must be testable
Scientific Hypothesis
300
I must change one at a time
Experimental Variable
300
exact procedure that is followed each time
experimental technique
400
First, Supported by enough evidence Second, not a single piece of evidence that contradicts it Third, Unique
Theory
400
Galileo's sketches are considered scientific evidence because they are...
objective
400
Heat was a fluid that traveled from hot objects to cold objects
Fluid Caloric Theory
400
My goal is to understand the relationship between variables
Experiment
400
good way to communicate the results of an experiment to others
Lab Report
500
Descriptions of specific relationships under given conditions in nature
Scientific Laws
500
describes evidence that documents only what actually happened as exactly as possible
Objective
500
constantly being tested against new evidence
Theory
500
on what ground would a 10 pound bowling ball roll faster 1. 10 pound bowling ball 2. ice floor 3.wet cement 4. 5 pound bowling ball One of us doesn't belong
5 pound bowling ball... the experimental variable is the different floors not the bowling balls
