The Law of Gravity is this type of law.
What is a Scientific Law?

Jane Goodall studied chimpanzees using this type of scientific investigation.
What is a Field Study?
100
A globe or map is this.
What is a Model?
100
If new evidence, or new interpretations of old evidence, is encountered, science does this.
What is it changes?
200
Scientific thought is based on this.
What is evidence?
200
This is an imitation of some real thing, situation, or process. It involves representing certain key characteristics or behaviors of a system.
What is a Simulation?
200
Ocean bouys that collect and send information are this type of ongoing investigation.
What is a Systematic Observation?
200
This word means able to withstand wear and tear or decay; lasting.
What is durable?
200
Science is durable because of this.
It is open to change.
300
This is an observed event or result.
What is a fact?
300
This is a scientific study of free-living plants or animals in which the subjects are observed in their natural habitat without changing, harming, or altering the setting or subjects.
What is a field study?
300
This is a simplified representation of a system. They are useful for studying systems that are too big, too small, or too dangerous to study.
What is a Model?
300
What must a scientist use to develop explanations for the evidence that is gathered?
What is Creativity?
300
These variables must be kept the same throughout the investigation. If they change it will make our investigation a waste of time.
What are controlled or constant variables?
400
This is a statement which holds true in all cases.
What is a law?
400
Scientific investigations should be replicable (able to repeated) for this reason.
All investigations and their results need to be verified.
400
This is a well-supported and widely accepted explanation of nature and is not simply a claim posed by an individual.
What is a Scientific Theory?
400
This can be answered through an investigation.
What is a testable question?
400
This is the variable of our investigation that we measure. We assume it will change based on the other change we made in our investigation.
What is the dependent (or responding) variable?
500
This is the knowledge obtained by observing the natural world.
What is Science?
500
This is a proposal to answer a testable question.
What is a Hypothesis?
500
An idea (perhaps unprovable) which explains observations of the natural world. It tries to explain WHY.
What is a Scientific Theory?
500
This type of investigation is one in which all the values of all variables are kept the same except for one that is changed (the independent variable) and the one that is measured (the dependent variable).
What is a Controlled Investigation or Experiment?
500
The variable of my investigation that I change is called this.
What is the Independent (or manipulated) variable?
