Fast Slow
The rate at which an object covers a distance
Speed
Traditional plane
When our brain gets "tricked" into thinking a certain way, without realizing it, it results in this kind of bias.
cognitive bias
When most experts agree based on strong evidence
scientific consensus
The formula for momentum
p=mv
Distance traveled per unit of time
Speed
A graph can be used to visually communicate what kind of information gathered during an experiment?
Data
Watching things that already happened to learn from them is what kind of science?
Observational science
List the four steps of the SIFT method
Stop, Investigate the source, Find better coverage, Trace claims back
Mass times volume equals what?
Momentum
How is velocity different from speed?
Velocity includes direction
"If I make a paper airplane with flat wings that has more lift, then my paper airplane will fly further" is an example of which step in the Scientific Method?
Hypothesis
Willingness to admit you may be wrong
Cognitive flexibility
Pausing when a science claim makes you feel a strong emotion is what step in SIFT?
Stop
If two objects moving at the same velocity collide, what happens?
Depends on the mass of the objects
What does it mean to have a constant speed?
It doesn't change
"What makes a paper airplane fly further?" is an example of which step in the Scientific Method?
Question
What is a confounding variable?
Something that can mess up a science experiment's results
Checking who published a piece of scientific information and why is which step in SIFT?
Investigate the source
If a high mass object collides with a low mass object, and both are traveling at the same rate of speed, what will likely happen?
The high mass object will move or stop the low mass object
Can a car's instantaneous speed ever be different from its average speed?
Yes. Instantaneous speed is a speed at any given moment. Average is calculated overall.
A statement that describes the results of an experiment, relative to the hypothesis.
Conclusion
What is peer review?
Other experts check the work for quality
Why doesn't one single study "settle" a scientific question?
It takes many studies over time to be sure
Is momentum a vector?
Yes. It has direction.
