Measure
The unified system of measure for science-type people
What is the metric system
The numbers, facts, figures, and observations collected during experiments
What is data?
When we use our senses of something that has happened.
What is an observation?
When an experiment is designed perfectly and there are no variable issues
What is a controlled experiment?
The 1st phase of the Engineer and Design process
What is 'define the problem'?
The measure of two sides
What is area?
The type of observation made that includes numbers.
What is quantitative?
When a real system is much too big or too small to study, this is made to help.
What is a model?
Found on the X-axis, this is what can be purposely changed in an experiment.
What is the manipulated (independent) variable?
The smaller example of the large scale structure to be built
What is a prototype?
The measure of three sides
What is volume?
The correct, excepted, and true answer
What is accurate?
When you make a statement about what may happen?
What is a prediction?
Found on the Y-axis, this is the information and data collected as a result of the experiment
What is the responding (dependent) variable?
Once the prototype is built, what is done next?
What is test it?
The density is 3.5 g/ml and the volume is 2 ml, what is the mass?
What is 7 g?
When measurements are clustered together
What is precision?
When you are sorting, grouping, filing, putting in an order
What is classifying?
The summary of what was learned after the experiment was concluded
What is a conclusion?
This is what can help in the design phase of engineering because you can use ideas from other projects for your own.
What is research?
The test done to irregular shaped object to find the space it takes up
What is the displacement method?
When you note or record an item's color, shape or texture
What is a qualitative observation?
When the entire set of information is not known but a statement of why something happened is addressed.
What is an inference?
What is a hypothesis?
Once a prototype is built and the initial testing is done, what is the next step in the design process
What is re-design or fix or improve?
