What is science?
The systematic study of natural events and conditions.
What is science?
An organized procedure to study something under controlled conditions.
What is an experiment?
A description of a specific relationship under given conditions in the natural world.
What is scientific law?
The variable that is deliberately manipulated in an experiment
What is an independent variable?
Drawn or built
What is a physical model?
The study of living things.
What is biology/life science?
Experiment, observation, hypothesis, and data.
What are some parts that make up scientific investigation?
A well supported explanation of nature that help us understand the laws we observe.
What is scientific theory?
A line drawn to "fit", or come close to, most of the data points.
What is the line of best fit?
Uses different forms of data to represent the way a system or a process works.
What is a mathematical model?
The study of the surface and interior of the earth.
What is earth science/geology?
Observations, variables, and experiments.
What are some characteristics of good scientific investigations?
Theory of atoms changed over time.
What is new evidence?
Shows the relationship between the independent and dependent variable not in a straight line.
What is a nonlinear graph?
Used to estimate distance, volume, or quantity.
What is a scale model?
Provides a description of how a process in nature occurs.
What is scientific explanation?
Scientific journals, government websites, or academic websites.
What are reliable sources?
Scientists work together to learn more about atoms, which may change the theory.
What is an example of collaboration and debate?
Shows the relationship between the 2 variables studied in an experiment.
What is trend?
Use models to show how an object or system works
What is a simulation?
Careful observation, curiosity, creativity, logic, skepticism, and objectivity.
What is involved in scientific work?
Should be controlled as much as possible.
What are variables?
Created the law that at a constant pressure, as the pressure on a gas increases, it's volume decreases.
Who is Boyle?
The value of one variable increases as the value of the other variable decreases.
What is an inverse relationship?
A representation of how parts of a system are related or organized
What is a conceptual model?
