Forming a Hypothesis
what is a testable predict that explain certain observations
Inductive Reasoning and Deductive Reasoning
A way to test the hypothesis in order to verify or disprove it.
Controlled variables, Independent variables, and Dependent variable
the information gathered during an experiment, the more consistent your data, the more valuable it will be for drawing a conclusion.
Does an initial hypothesis have to be correct ?
Define Inductive Reasoning
Drawing a general conclusion from specific facts or experiences
What is needed to properly carry out an experiment?
MATERIALS AND PROCEDURE WITH STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS.
factors that cannot change in an experiment.
How do you make sure data is consistent ?
an explanation based on a body of knowledge gained from many observations and supported by the results of many experiments.
Define Deductive Reasoning
A conclusion about a specific case based on known facts and general principles
Can a theory become permanent ?
If proven correct after testing in an experiment
a factor that you change
If your data is more consistent what will happen to your conclusion?
IT WILL BE MORE VALUABLE
Is a hypothesis a possibility?
Can deductive reasoning be proven wrong ?
When carrying on an experiment by someone else what is important for you to do?
TO CARRY IT IN A LOGICAL, ORGANIZED MANNER
a factor that changes as a result of the independent variable.
Should you use a DATA TABLE in your experiment?
Should your hypothesis be a statement or question?
Are inductive reasons reliable?
Will your data from experiments help you with your results?
How do you know if a factor is independent or dependent ?
Will your data help you with your results?
yes they will prove you hypothesis or theory right or wrong
