Daphnia
100
What is the purpose of the Scientific Process?
Solves a problem or answers a question
100
What were the two worldviews discussed in class?
Theistic and Materialistic
100
The variable that changes in an experiment is called the _______?
Experimental variable
100
The variable that does not change in an experiment is called the ________?
Control variable
100
Where is the heart of the Daphnia located?
Dorsally (in the back)
200
Give an example of how you've used the scientific process outside of class.
Anytime you have asked a question or wondered, made a guess, and tested it. (Ex. Wet Paint)
200
What is the major assumption of the Theistic worldview?
The God exists and created everything for a purpose
200
What variable is the measured outcome of the experiment?
The dependent variable
200
A controlled experiment consists of how many experimental variables?
One (1)
200
The big black dot on the Daphnia was what?
The eye
300
What is created in the "Predicting" step of the Scientific Process?
A hypothesis
300
What is the major assumption of the Materialistic Worldview?
Only what can be OBSERVED exists
300
Does an experiment with errors mean the experiment's data and conclusion are invalid?
Not necessarily; all experiments have some degree of error, thus the importance of repeating experiments before concluding
300
Does data refuting your hypothesis mean your experiment failed?
No, it only means your prediction was wrong. The data still answers your question.
300
What were the moving things in the Daphnia's "stomach"?
Its gills and guts
400
What is Science to a Christian?
The way we investigate God's Creation
400
Why is knowing other people's worldviews important?
To know their assumptions (can we trust exactly what they say?)
400
What makes a Scientific Theory different than other theories?
A theory in science is based off tests, while theories in other areas are just simple guesses
400
When does a theory change?
When new evidence or data is discovered
400
What was the experimental variable in the first day of Daphnia testing we performed?
Ethanol (Ethyl Alcohol)
500
Name all seven steps of the Scientific Process (in order)
Observation, Questioning, Researching, Hypothesizing, Experimenting, Concluding, Theorizing OR Sense, Wonder, Look, Predict, Test, Analyze, Synthesize
500
Why is knowing our worldview important?
Worldviews build assumptions; assumptions affect interpretation of truth
500
Why is performing controlled tests important?
Controlled tests isolate the variable for ideal data analysis
500
What are two limitations of science?
Limited to the Physical World Limited to the Observable Limited to the Present Limited to the Repeatable
500
What type of animal is a Daphnia?
A crustacean (like a shrimp or crab)
