The systematic investigation into and study of materials/sources in order to establish facts and reach new conclusions
What is research?
100
Forming the hypothesis is this step in the scientific process
What is Step 3?
100
The factors that are changed or manipulated during the experiment; they are the ones that the experiment is trying to test
What is independent variable?
100
A judgment based on observation and experimentation
What is a conclusion?
200
Sight, touch, smell, sound, and taste
What are the five senses?
200
Making observations and defining the problem is this step in the scientific process
What is Step 1?
200
A hypothesis developed by using a general truth to hypothesize particular events
What is deductive reasoning?
200
All the other factors in the experiments; the things that you attempt to control and are kept constant during the course of the experiment
What are control variables?
200
A forecast of the possible results of events
What is a prediction?
300
The action or process of viewing something or someone carefully or in order to gain information
What is an observation?
300
When a submitted article is scrutinized by anonymous scientists in a similar field
What is peer reviewed?
300
A hypothesis developed by drawing on your observations of specific events to hypothesize a general trend
What is inductive reasoning?
300
This is usually the factor that the experimenter is measuring or counting; this is the one that changes in response to the independent variable
What is dependent variable?
300
Patterns in data
What are trends?
400
Observable facts or events in the world around us
What are natural phenomenons?
400
Performing research is what step in the scientific process
What is Step 2?
400
A hypothesis must be this, meaning that you can design an experiment that proves or disproves its hypothesis
What is testable?
400
The group that will be tested
What is experimental group?
400
This involves using your conclusion as a starting point in inductive reasoning
What is an inference?
500
These are made by using the five senses
What are observations?
500
A specialized publication where authors are scientists who want to distribute their research to other scientists with the goal of broadening the current body of knowledge
What is a journal?
500
Sometimes these are written in "if...then" statements to make experiments easier to design
What are hypotheses?
500
The group that the experimental group will be tested against
What is the control group?
500
A good way to show the relationship between things
