What is a Causal Question?
What is a Causal Question?A Causal Question is the logical questioning and comparison of two relative things.
100
What are the 3 types of Variables?
Control, Independent and Dependent
100
What are the 2 of the many types of Observations?
Causal and Scientific Observations, Natural Observation, Subjective and Objective observation, Direct and Indirect observation, Participant and Non Participant observation, Controlled and Non Controlled observation
100
What is a Hypothesis?
A hypothesis is a educated guess related to a experiment
100
Is the Scientific method completely necessary?
100% Without the scientific method we would not be where we are with scientific technology and more!
200
Why do we use Causal Questions?
Causal questions helps the process of considering a variety of the kinds of intellectual challenges that arise in certain things
200
Why do we include variables in experiments?
We have different variables in experiments to show what things could and could not possibly affect or change the outcome
200
Why is it important to make observations?
Observations provide data which could later be used by scientists etc.
200
Why is creating a hypothesis important?
To refer back to after finishing the experimenting and relating back to what was guessed would happen. Helps with later sections of writing lab reports and further discussion
200
What is the most important part of an experiment?
THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD! It is the backbone of most experiments
300
When do causal questions usually occur?
Causal Questions usually occur at the beginning of a experiment. Causal questions are a factor in initiating an experiment.
300
What is a Controlled Variable?
A controlled variable is a variable that you do not change at all. It is fixed between the whole experiment!
300
What is recorded when writing observations and when do you record observations
When recording Observations it could be recorded by many different metric units and more. Usually observations are recorded as they appear or after an experiment
300
How does a hypothesis help a scientist?
Hypothesis provide information on what was believed to happen. It shows if someone's thoughts were correct or incorrect by the end of the experiment and lets you correct and change the variables for better results.
300
Is the scientific method an important factor in the science field?
Certainly is! The scientific method is the backbone to further investigations on science in general!
400
What is a Causal Question usually based on?
A causal question could pretty much be based on anything as they are just thoughts on 2 things that relate
400
What is the difference between a Independent Variable and a Dependent Variable?
An Independent Variable is a variable that you purposely change and the Dependent Variable is not changed but rather affected by the Independent Variable
400
In participant observation, the degree of the participation is largely affected by the nature of the study. In the non participant type of observation, no participation of the observer in the activities of the group takes place
What is the difference between Participant and Non Participant Observations?
400
How do you create a Hypothesis?
Hypothesis usually go alone the line of "If this.... i believe" and further expanding on the thought explaining what you think will possibly happen. Remember: Hypothesises DO NOT have to be 100% accurate
400
How has the Scientific Method helped in past years?
If provides additional information and helps with the finding more information as lab reports will most likely differ from person to person. It also helps the science field grow as team and discover more things
500
Yes, as they are what initiate a experiment!
Yes, as they are what initiate a experiment!
500
How do you use an independent variable?
An independent variable is a variable that you purposely change, so to use them you have to change the units or whatever your changing on purpose to see possible change
500
What is the difference between structured and unstructured observations?
Structured observation works according to a plan and involves specific information of the units. Unstructured observation, its basics are diametrically against the structured observation.
500
Do hypothesis always have to be right?
No, hypothesis can be really incorrect. If a hypothesis is incorrect that calls for more learning experiences and more experiments to help reach your initial goal. It also get scientists thinking on possible areas of improvement

Who created the Scientific Method?
Francesco Redi, an Italian physician who lived from 1626 until 1697.
