100
different ways scientists observe the natural world
What is scientific inquiry?
100
Application of science for practical purposes
What is technology?
100
a description that doesn't include numbers or measurements
What is a qualitative observation?
100
The information from one step of a cycle that affects a previous step of the cycle
What is feedback?
200
representation of how parts of a system are related or organized
What is a conceptual model?
200
Posing questions, hypothesis, experiment, data, conclusions, and communicate.
What is the process of scientific inquiry?
200
Application of science and math to solve real life problems

What are two mathematical models?
300
Facts, figures, and other evidence gathered through observations
What is data?
300
Life cycle analysis, risk-benefit analysis, and pugh cart.
What are different methods of analysis?
300
Is the systematic study of natural events and conditions
What is science?
300
The description of how close a measurement is is true value of the quantity measured
What is accuracy?
400
Models and simulations are tools that help answer difficult questions, represent complex systems, separate the good from the bad, and predict the effects of actions.
What is the purpose of models and simulations?
400
The variable purposely changed, and the variable changed due to the variable being purposely changed.
What is the manipulated/independent variable and responding/dependent variable?
400
The act of giving one convenience for another convenience
What is a trade-off?
400
All the measurements and data scientists gather in support of scientific explanation.
What is empirical evidence?
400
Are limitations
What are constraints?
500
Physical models are often easier, cheaper, and less dangerous to work with than the actual thing the model represents, but they aren't the same as the actual thing and are not the best way to represent complex systems.
What are the pros and cons of physical models?
500
Scientific theory is an explanation while a scientific law is expected to happen without a explanation.
What is the difference between scientific theory and scientific law?
500
Their importance is to testing the models
What is the importance of prototypes?
500
Is a belief or practice that is based incorrectly applied scientific methods.
