a way of learning about the natural world
What is Science
100
It allows scientists to compare and communicate data with each other about the results
What is standard measurement?
100
an approximation based on reasonable assumptions
What is an estimate?
100
type of graph displayed in a straight line
What is a linear graph?
100
refers to the diverse ways in which scientist study the natural world and propose explanations based on the evidence they gather
What is scientific inquiry?
200
deals with descriptions that cannot be expressed in numbers
What is qualitative observation?
200
a measurement system based on the number 10
What is the metric system?
200
how close a measurement is to the true or accepted value
What is accuracy?
200
the manipulated or independent variable appears on this axis?
What is the x axis of the graph?
200
a way to find out if anyone has asked a question like yours before
What is research?
300
based on reasoning from what you already know
What is inferring?
300
a measurement system based on the number 10
What is the metric system?
300
measurements carefully taken with a high quality tool
What are significant figures?
300
this may be shown when a clear relationship may be determined from the display of data in a line graph
What is a trend?
300
a way to make sure results will be valid

400
comparing observations to reach a conclusion about them
What is evaluating
400
SI unit for volume

the way in which scientists study the natural world
What is scientific investigation or inquiry?
500
a measurement of how much mass is contained in a given volume
What is density?
500
estimation, accuracy and precision, and significant figures
What are some math skills used in science?
500
because they allow you to identify trends and make predictions about those trends
What is why line graphs are powerful tools?
500
the type of research where information is gathered and the scientist does not interfere in the event
