This is the 1st step to the Scientific Method
1. State the Question
This tells WHY something happens.
Scientific Theory
A description that does NOT involve numbers
Qualitative
You use your 5 senses to describe something
observations
When another scientist conducts an experiment using the same exact procedure as you used is an example of.
Replication
Hypothesis is a/n
educated guess
This tells WHAT happens in Nature.
Scientific Law
A statement that tells what an investigation showed, based on observations and data.
Conclusion
using past or prior knowledge to describe something
inference
When scientists create representation of a complex process, they are making...
models
This is the variable that is purposely changed by the scientist.
Independent Variable
TRUE
The reproduction of a scientific investigation by another person to ensure accuracy
Replication
Inference
If a plant is put under a LED light, then it will grow faster than the plant in the UV light. What are the IV and DV of this hypothesis?
IV: Type of Light
DV: Plant Growth
When you make a possible explanation for a set of observations you are formulating this.
Hypothesis
This scientific principle describes the way the world works.
Scientific Law
Observations that deal with descriptions that can be expressed in numbers
Quantitative Observation
observing
Type of graph that shows how the responding variable changes in response to the manipulated variable in a trending form.
Line Graph
A useful tool that may help scientists interpret data by revealing unexpected patterns.
Graph
Niels Bohr came up with a diagram to show the arrangement of electrons in an atom. This is an example of?
Scientific Theory
A factor or condition in a scientific experiment that is purposefully kept the same
Controlled Variable
Making a statement or claim about what will happen in the future based on past experience or evidence is called (HINT: the answer is not observation or Inference)
Prediction
Type of graph to show comparison
Bar graph
