This is the very first step in the scientific method.

What are observing & collecting information?

100

This involves determining the variables, selecting a design, and executing an experiment.

What is testing the prediction?

100

This indicates how close to the true value a measurement is.

What is accuracy?

100

This is the term used for when scientists present their work in science journals or at professional meetings.

What is publication?

200

This is done once the research is completed.

What is reporting findings?

200

This is what one does when the hypothesis and prediction has been invalidated/falsified.

What is forming an alternate hypothesis?

200

This is an expression of the amount of imprecision or variation in a set of measurements.

What is error?

200

This is the process of scientific examination of one’s work by other scientists to determine if the work merits publication.

What is the peer-review process?

300

This is what one does AFTER the subject has been observed and information has been collected in the first step.

What is ask a question?

300

This involves summarizing what was learned from the results and using that information to assess the strength of the hypothesis.

What is drawing a conclusion?

300

This indicates how small the interval of measurement being used is.

What is precision?

300

These are discovered, rather than invented, and convey a relationship between or among scientific facts.

What are scientific laws?

400

This is what happens once all testing has been done and data collected.

What is analyze the data?

400

This involves what happens if the hypothesis is correct, typically stated in "if...then" form.

What is forming a prediction?

400

This is indicated in the image below...

What is precision?

400

These are the best source of scientific ideas and research.

What are peer-reviewed journals?

500

This is the first step in proposing an explanation to answer the question posed.

What is forming a hypothesis?

500

This is the variable that is manipulated during an experiment.

What is the independent variable?

500

These are the digits in a number that are reliable and necessary to indicate the quantity of something.

What are significant figures?

500

These explain "how" or "why" and/or predict aspects of the physical universe or specific scientific fields and are established from many lines of evidence.

What are scientific theories?
