Scientific Method
the process used by scientists to acquire new knowledge and improve our understanding of the universe. It involves making observations on the phenomenon being studied, suggesting explanations for the observations, and testing these possible explanations by making new observations
What is the Scientific Method?
Magnitude and direction
What two things make up a vector?
What "SI Units" stands for
What is the International System of Units?
13,700,000,000 in scientific notation
What is 1.37 × 1010?
Luke Skywalker's father
Who is Darth Vader / Anakin Skywalker?
A possible explanation for an observation
What is a hypothesis?
These are like vectors, but don't have direction
What is a scalar?
The prefix for 1000
What is Kilo?
The first rule of significant figures
Which rules states all non-zero digits are significant?
Batman's Butler
Who is Alfred Pennyworth?
A hypothesis that has been supported with repeated testing
What is a theory?
The ending point of a vector
What is a terminal point?
The SI Units for length, time, and mass
What are meter, second, and kilogram?
The fourth rule of significant figures
Which rules states the ending zeros are significant if the decimal point is actually written in but not significant if the decimal point is an understood decimal?
Mr. Gowan's middle name
What is James?
A test under controlled conditions designed to demonstrate something scientists already know or to test something scientists wish to know
What is an experiment?
