A person who "does" science and uses science methods.
What is a scientist
100
A test using observations and controlled variables to discover answers to questions, and/or to check a hypothesis.
What is an Experiment.
100
A factor that can be changed or manipulated in an experiment by the scientist; “you change it variables.
What is Independent Variable.
100
Data that is based on measurable characteristics of things or events such as mass, volume, length, and quantity. Example: “There is one liter of juice in the carton.”
What is Quantitative Data.
100
The study of nature and the physical world using the methods of science , or a “special method of finding things out.”
What is Science.
200
A factor that responds to changes in other variables in an experiment; "it changed" variables.
What is a dependent variable.
200
An ordered series of steps followed to help answer a question.
What is a procedure/methods.
200
Slight differences among objects, organisms or events that are all of the same type.
What is Variation.
200
An explanation for patterns in nature that is supported by much scientific evidence based on data collected using scientific methods.
What is Scientific Theory.
200
To examine the different and/or similar characteristics of things or events.
What is Compare.
300
The breakdown of something that is complex into smaller parts in such a way that leads to a better understanding of the whole.
What is Analysis.
300
A logical explanation or conclusion based on observations and/or facts.
What is Inference.
300
Incorrect data in an experiment that may result from a variety of causes.
What is Experimental Error.
300
Information, measurements, and materials gathered from observations that are used to help answer questions.
What is Data.
300
(1) Noticing objects or events using the five senses. (2) The data collected by using the five senses to learn about objects and events.
What is Observation.
400
To compare the characteristics of something (such as mass, length, volume) with a standard (such as grams, meters, liters, inches).
What is measure.
400
Grouping things together based on specific characteristics.
What is Classify.
400
The group or subject that is used as a standard for comparison in an experiment.
What is Control Group.
400
A statement made about the future outcome of of an experiment based on past experiences or observations.
What is Prediction.
400
Repeated trials on more than one subject, as well as controls, in experimental tests.
What is Replication.
500
Data that is based on observable characteristics of things or events that can be collected using the five senses. Example: The juice tastes sweet to me.
What is Qualitative Data.
500
A generalized pattern in nature.
What is Scientific Law.
500
The entire physical universe.
What is Nature.
500
A process of critical thinking that uses observations and experiments to investigate testable predictions about the physical universe.
What is Scientific Method.
500
A testable explanation for observations and questions about the physical universe. Also called an “educated guess.”
