All Things Science!
This is a process based on inquiry that helps develop explanations about events in nature.
What is science?
This is a possible explanation for a problem using what you know and what you observe.
What is a hypothesis?
This is required when we test a hypothesis which tests the effect of one thing on another using a control.
What is an experiment?
This is anything that takes up space and has mass.
What is matter?
This is a pattern of investigative procedure.
What is the scientific method?
These are the two things that cause science to change.
What is experiments and models?
This is the variable that is changed to test the effect on the dependent variable in an experiment.
What is an independent variable?
These are the four variables that an experiment will have.
What is dependent variable, independent variable, constant, and control?
This is a measurement of the quantity of matter in an object.
What is mass?
When you graph data the x-axis is what type of variable?
What is the independent variable?
Examples of this include counting and your 5 senses.
What are observations?
This is the value in an experiment that changes according to changes in other variables.
What is a dependent variable?
This is the standard by which the test results of an experiment are compared.
What is a control?
This is the mass per unit volume of a material.
What is density?
This type of graph is circular and divided into slices to show percentages.
What is a pie chart?
This is a statement about what happens in nature and seems to be true all the time.
What is scientific law?
This comes in the form of a statement, not a question.
What is a hypothesis?
This is a factor that does not change in an experiment when other variables are changing.
What is a constant?
This is the term scientists use to describe where you measure the volume of a liquid.
What is a meniscus?
This type of chart is used to visualize the value of something overtime.
What is a line graph?
These are conclusions you make based upon what you observe.
What are inferences?
There are six common steps in the scientific procedure. State at least two of these steps.
What is... stating a problem or question, research and gather information, form a hypothesis, test a hypothesis, analyzing data, or drawing conclusions?
This occurs when a scientist's expectations changes how the results are analyzed or the conclusions are made in an experiment.
What is bias?
These are the four main SI base units we discussed.
What are length, mass, volume, and time?
When scientific knowledge is used to solve a human need or problem, the result is referred to as this.
What is technology?
