Vascular/Nonvascular
This term refers to the detailed plan for how a scientific inquiry will be conducted.
Experimental design
These are conditions that are kept the same throughout the experiment to ensure a fair test.
Controlled variables
This statistical measure indicates the average value in a data set.
The mean
This is a statement based on repeated experimental observations that describe some aspects of the universe.
Scientific law
This practice involves ensuring that all research subjects have equal opportunities to receive treatment in studies.
randomization
A prediction made before an experiment based on prior knowledge and observations is called this.
Hypothesis
This diagram illustrates the relationship between hypotheses, experiments, and conclusions.
flowchart
This term represents the difference between the highest and lowest values in a data set.
The range
The theory that describes the origins of the universe, including the expansion from a singular point.
Big bang theory
This term describes the ethical principle of avoiding harm to research participants.
non-maleficence
The outcome measure in an experiment is referred to as this type of variable.
process of replicating experiments
This kind of study measures the effect of manipulating one variable while keeping others constant.
Controlled experiment
This graphical representation is used to show the relationship between two variables.
Scatter plot
The law of gravitation relates mass and this force acting between objects.
Gravitational force
These are ethical reviews of proposed research designs to ensure participants' rights and welfare.
Institutional Review Boards
This is the process of replicating experiments to confirm results.
Reproducibility.
A group that does not receive the experimental treatment is known as this.
Controlled group
These statistical tools are used to summarize data and identify patterns.
Descriptive statistic
A widely accepted scientific explanation that may change with new evidence is called this.
Scientific theory
This type of bias occurs when researchers selectively report findings that only support their hypotheses.
Publication bias
This term refers to bias introduced in scientific research by the expectations of the researcher.
Experimental bias
This process involves evaluating the credibility and reliability of sources of information.
Peer review
A significant deviation from the expected outcome in experimental results can indicate this.
Annamolly
This is a consequence that can be predicted from a theory if the theory is valid.
prediction
This ethical concept involves the fair treatment and distribution of research benefits and burdens.
