Refers to the different ways scientist study the natural world.
What is scientific inquiry?
100
This is the abbreviation for the International System of Units.
What is SI?
100
An approximation of a number based on reasonable assumption.
What is an estimate?
100
This is a picture of your data.
What is a graph?
200
Chemistry and Physics?
What are the two branches of Physical Science?
200
Changing the distance between an object and a light source changes the size of the object's shadow, would be an example of this.
What is an example of a hypothesis?
200
A measure of the amount of matter an object contains.
What is Mass?
200
This is what scientist both aim for in their measurements.
What is accuracy and reproducibility.
200
These are used to display data to show how one variable ( the responding variable) changes in response to another variable (the manipulated variable).
What are Line Graphs?
300
These three skills are what scientist use to learn more about that natural world.
What is Observing, Inferring, and predicting.
300
The variable parameter that changes as a result of changes to the manipulated, or independent, variable in an experiment.
What is a responding variable?
300
This is the equation for volume.
What is length times width times height?
300
The measure of the exactness of a measurement.
What is precision?
300
The point showing the location of that intersection on a graph.
What is a data point?
400
An example would be a teacher always gives the class a lot of quizzes. So if the teacher were to walk into the room carrying a stack of paper, you may believe that pages contain a quiz.
What is an example of Inferring?
400
It describes an observed pattern in nature without attempting to explain it.
What is scientific law?
400
On this scale water freezes at zero degrees C and boils at 100 degree C
What is the Celsius scale?
400
This is an example of when Matthew drew a dart board with the darts all over the board.
What is neither reproducibility nor accurate?
400
This equation tells you how much Y changes for every change in X.
What is Slope equals rise over run?
500
What was the statement used on Quiz 1 to decide whether it was an observation or inference?
What is " It must be raining outside?"
500
These are facts, figures, and other evidence gathered through observation.
What is data?
500
The SI unit of this mass per volume is the kilogram per cubic meter (kg/m^3)
What is Density?
500
A measurement that includes all of the digits that have been measured exactly, plus on one digit who's value has been estimated.
What is significant figures?
500
This emphasizes the overall trend shown by all the data taken as a whole.
