Scientific Method
What is a counter-example
Data that depends to some extent on a person's opinion
What are Materials
The ability of a liquid's surface to resist a force applied to it due to the attraction between the liquid's molecules
What is surface tension
The second step of the scientific method
What is conduct background research
What is experimental variable
Data whose value cannot be affected by a person's opinion
What is objective data
What is the title
Experiments in which neither the participants nor the people analyzing the results know who is in the control group
What are double blind experiments
The third step of the scientific method
What is construct a hypothesis
The variable of part of the experiment to which all others will be compared
What is the control
An experiment in which information about the test is kept from the participants to reduce bias
What is a blind experiment
An educated guess that attempts to explain an observation or answer a question
What is a Hypothesis
This is the number of variables you should change when conducting an experiment
What is ONE
An idea becomes a theory if the data consistently agrees with this
What is the hypothesis
An explanation of the natural world that has been thoroughly tested and is supported by a significant amount of evidence
What is Scientific theory
The part of the experiment that you are changing. Also, the "if" part of your hypothesis
What is the independent variable
The section of your lab report that should contain graphs, tables, charts and other numerical information
What is your data or your results
When forming a hypothesis, it should always be ___________________.
What is testable
A theory becomes this when tested and is found to be consistent with generations of data
What is scientific law
This relies on relics from the past and historical records to try to discover truth
What is historical science
A description of a natural phenomenon or principle that is supported by a significant amount of evidence or data and often includes a mathematical terms
What is scientific law
What is the dependent variable
If your experiment leads to a hypothesis that is incorrect, this is the next scientific step to take
What is form a new hypothesis and design a new experiment to test that hypothesis
